2021 E-Class Wins MotorTrend 2021 Car of the Year

At RBM of Alpharetta, we know what sets Mercedes-Benz apart from others in the automotive industry. From the luxurious interior appointments to the forward-thinking safety technology alongside the impressive performance, Mercedes-Benz models have long stood as examples of refined luxury and performance. With the midcycle changes to the 2021 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, MotorTrend has recognized this model as the pinnacle, earning it the 2021 Car of the Year Award. Let’s take a closer look at why this beautiful sedan won this award.

What Does MotorTrend Have to Say About the 2021 E-Class Sedan?

What exactly drew the team at MotorTrend to bestow this award upon the 2021 Mercedes-Benz E-Class? Well, there is a long list of reasons why they fell in love with this model, but let’s pull a few of the highlights from their award piece that exemplifies why the 2021 E-Class won 2021 Car of the Year:

“It’s the one that makes everyone feel special, the one that delivers the best experience, and the one that stands out from the rest of the segment. It does everything right and shows the legacy that it has playing in a segment like this. Feels truly like a Mercedes should. And it does it all naturally.” – Miguel Cortina, MotorTrend en Español managing editor

“Being able to support everything from an E 350 sedan to the menacing AMG E 63 and include the coupe, convertible, and wagon is just inexplicable. It speaks for what Mercedes engineers were going after, and they delivered in a perfect package.” – Miguel Cortina, MotorTrend en Español managing editor

“The Mercedes feels three times as well built, as well engineered, as sophisticated as the competition… The Mercedes is a superior vehicle in terms of ride quality, dynamics, kinematics, or any other measurements you can think of. You feel the difference.” – Johnny Lieberman, senior features editor

MotorTrend also mentioned the interior’s “sense of style and refinement” which “puts the driver and passenger into a state of lavish comfort.” There is also a lot of love for the exterior design, with the team noting how they took this midcycle update and “transformed it into an assured, planted sedan with pronounced shoulders and crisp character lines”.

What Else Stands Out About the 2021 Mercedes-Benz E-Class?

From performance to interior features, there is no stone left unturned on this Mercedes-Benz model. Let’s take a closer look at some of the features and specs that stood out to MotorTrend:

• An impressive 9-speed automatic transmission with impressive power, even though MotorTrend notes “some gearshifts are literally unnoticed.”
• The mild hybrid engine offers robust power and efficiency. As MotorTrend notes, with no belts for the AC or water pump, there are much less “parasitic losses from the engine.”
• MotorTrend notes that what may be the most impressive part about the E-Class is how it “extends its excellence across all body types and performance measures.”

Whether it’s the luxurious interior, the forward-thinking technology, or the impressive performance options, the 2021 Mercedes-Benz E-Class impresses at every angle and it’s no wonder why MotorTrend graced it with this prestigious award.
