2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Photo Gallery

Sport (same cost as regular E250) trades hood ornament for a big star in the grille, plus body kit.

From the right angle the E250's exterior can appear dramatic.

As conventional as sedan styling gets lately, but many people find the 2014 E-Class quite handsome.

For a coupe-like roof line, get the related CLS. But no diesel option in that model here.

Among the changes for 2014, the rear fender lost a frumpy bulge.

My photos don't do this interior justice. It looks and feels more luxurious than the others.

More brightwork in the Mercedes than in the Audi or BMW. Black ash wood trim in the tested E250.

Controls aren't as complicated as they appear. Options include a flat-bottomed steering wheel.

For reasons that escape me, you can display a digital clock above the analog clock.

Mercedes wasn't first with an around-view camera system, but its execution might be the best.

Side bolsters can be set to squeeze inward in turns.

Competitive rear seat.

Trunk capacity also competitive, if a few cubes tighter than in the BMW. Folding seat an option.

The little engine that could.
