Mercedes-Benz E400 Performance Overview
Positioned as the six-cylinder performance step within the E-Class range, the Mercedes-Benz E400 was sold from 2015 to 2018 and is represented here by 11 verified tests spanning those model years. Across the W212/S212/C207/A207 and W213/S213/C238/A238 eras, every tested example used the twin-turbocharged M276 gasoline V6 rated at 329 hp, so the story is less about major engine change than about body style, drivetrain, and generation differences. The first benchmark came with the 2015 Sport 4MATIC Coupe, which set the model's best 0-60 time of 4.9 seconds.
That early W212-based result defined the E400's quickest edge, while the transition to the W213 generation broadened the sample with coupes, cabriolets, and wagons. In this later group, the 2018 AMG Line 4MATIC Coupe matched the generation's best 0-60 run at 5.0 seconds and delivered the quickest quarter-mile result, 13.5 seconds at 104.4 mph. Other tested points show the spread clearly: the 2017 Sport 4MATIC Wagon ran 0-60 in 5.3 seconds, and the 2018 AMG Line Coupe reached 60 mph in 5.1 seconds. As documented here, the E400 stands as a consistently quick, gasoline-only twin-turbo V6 E-Class variant averaging 5.09 seconds to 60 mph and 13.67 seconds in the quarter-mile.

How we verify Mercedes-Benz E400 performance data
Records and averages on this page cover verified production runs only; modified and prototype results are listed by year but never folded into them. We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Mercedes-Benz E400 trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
