“We were pleased to accept this award, which was particularly meaningful as it represented back-to-back wins for the E-Class from MotorTrend,” said Dimitris Psillakis, President and CEO of Mercedes-Benz USA. “With every generation, the E-Class redefined customer expectations in the luxury segment through its sophisticated design, advanced technology, and thoughtful details.

Each year, MotorTrend selected a field of new and significantly updated vehicles to compete for its coveted “Golden Calipers.” An expert panel of editors and guest judges evaluated each contender based on six key criteria: safety, value, advancement in design, engineering excellence, efficiency, and performance of intended function. The E-Class excelled across the board, clinching MotorTrend’s highest honor.
“The meticulous and thoughtful changes made to the 2024 E-Class were both notable and impactful, leaving the MotorTrend team thoroughly impressed,” said Ed Loh, Head of Editorial at MotorTrend Group. “The E-Class stood out across all six judging criteria and emerged as the clear winner when compared to its competitors.”
In selecting the E-Class as the 2025 Car of the Year, MotorTrend highlighted its significant advancements in design, user-friendly technology, enhanced driver assistance systems, and improved ride comfort, performance, and efficiency.
