Mercedes-Benz E300 Performance Overview
Within the E-Class range, the Mercedes-Benz E300 appears here as a short, data-specific performance snapshot, with 4 verified tests spanning 2017 to 2017. All recorded results fall within the W213 generation, where the E300 used the turbocharged M274 2.0-liter gasoline four-cylinder rated at 241 hp. From the outset, performance was tightly grouped rather than evolving over multiple phases: the 2017 Sport 4MATIC Sedan set the quickest benchmark at 6.5 seconds to 60 mph, while other tests of the same trim ran 6.6 seconds, establishing the model's observed 0-60 window almost immediately.
Quarter-mile data shows the same consistency across the small sample. The fastest pass came from the 2017 Sport Sedan at 14.9 seconds at 92.4 mph, while the broader average settled at 15.0 seconds at 92 mph. Tested trims included both rear-wheel-drive Sport Sedan and all-wheel-drive Sport 4MATIC Sedan forms, but all examples remained within a narrow band around the 6.53-second average to 60 mph. As currently represented by the available independent tests, the W213-era E300 stands as a gasoline-only, turbo-four executive sedan with a present best of 6.5 seconds to 60 mph.
