2024 Mercedes-Benz E 350 Sedan vs 2024 Mercedes-Benz E 350 4MATIC Sedan

Performance and Powertrain Comparison 

Both the 2024 E 350 Sedan and E 350 4MATIC Sedan share the same heart. A 2.0L inline-4 turbo engine powers both. This engine delivers 255 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. Paired with the 9G-TRONIC 9-speed automatic transmission, it provides smooth, quick shifts. Both models also feature ECO Start/Stop technology for better fuel efficiency. 

However, the key difference is in their drivetrain. The E 350 Sedan comes with rear-wheel drive (RWD). It offers a traditional driving experience. In contrast, the E 350 4MATIC features the brand's 4MATIC all-wheel drive (AWD) system. This offers better traction, especially on slippery roads. 

Handling and Driving Experience 

The 2024 E 350 Sedan is agile and well-responsive. Its rear-wheel drive layout feels sportier, ultimately making it great for those who want to have a thrilling connection with the road. Dry conditions would make the car stay very balanced and sharp. The steering feels quite sharp, while the suspension will suck in most imperfections easily. 

On the other hand, the 4MATIC version shines bright for inclement weather. Its all-wheel-drive system makes it grip and control better. It would surely give any driver more confidence in its hold over rainy roads or even frozen streets. With power to all four wheels, it bestows a better stable capability in management. However, it undeniably gives up some of that sporty feel, but in return, it yields unparalleled safety and much control. 

Which Model Is Right for You? 

This would depend on your driving needs. Those in love with rear-wheel-drive dynamics would find the E 350 Sedan perfect. It is lighter and fuel-efficient compared to the 4MATIC model. This would be perfect for those living in a region where you do not experience extreme weather conditions. The E 350 Sedan delivers 25 combined MPG (23 city / 31 highway). 

The intelligent choice, of course, is the E 350 4MATIC in instances where there's enough snow or rain. With a more superior AWD system and superior grip on slippery roads, added control of this kind is enough to make efficiency tolerable.
