Car of the Year Award
The 2025 Mercedes-Benz E-Class was named MotorTrend’s 2025 Car of the Year. This isn’t a first for the stunning sedan, which also earned the award in 1996 and 2021. Each year, an expert team of editors and guest judges evaluate new and significantly updated vehicles to determine award winners. The vehicles are judged on six key criteria: value, safety, advancement in design, engineering excellence, efficiency, and performance of intended function.
Standout Features
According to Christian Seabaugh, MotorTrend’s Senior Features Editor, the midsize luxury sedan “has been molded and refined since the 1950s with a clear purpose to make it just plain better. Smoother. Quicker. More efficient. More comfortable. Better at anticipating driver needs…. For those reasons and more, this year’s Golden Calipers go to what might just be the best midsize luxury car of the 21st century: the 10th generation Mercedes-Benz E-Class”.
