Used Mercedes-Benz E-Class for Sale

With 6-generations of used Mercedes-Benz E-Class for sale in South Africa, there is no surprise that it has been a top-selling executive car since 1953. On our showroom floors, you will generally only find the latest two generations ( fifth and sixth generations) of used Mercedes E-Class, but if you’re looking for any of the older models which are still popular with classic car collectors and automobile fans, we will be happy to assist you in sourcing one.

6th Generation Mercedes E-Class
2023 – Current

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class has long set the standard for luxury saloons, and the sixth generation E-Class from Mercedes-Benz takes that legacy to a new level. Launched globally in April 2023 and arriving locally in May 2024, this latest E-Class combines classic elegance with state-of-the-art innovation, redefining what an executive saloon can be.

The sleek four-door sedan draws design cues from Mercedes-EQ electric models featuring a bold, black panel-like surface connecting the grille with headlamps. Its extended wheelbase, now 22mm longer, means more cabin space and a generous 540-litre boot.

It’s said to be the most technologically sophisticated version yet. It offers unrivalled comfort, a tech-laden cabin, and timeless design—plus a selection of mild-hybrid powertrains.

Did You Know? With over 17 million sold since 1946, the E-Class is Mercedes-Benz’s best-selling model series. However, this generation marks the end of the E-Class coupé and convertible, which will now fall under the new CLE badge.

5th Generation Mercedes E-Class
2017 – 2023

It took 48 months to develop the original 5th generation Mercedes-Benz E-Class and the moment you get behind the wheel of one you’ll instantly see why. The attention to detail is some of the best you’ll ever see in a Used Executive Vehicle and includes two 12.3-inch full HD screens housed within a single unit.

Externally the E-Class uses the same modular MRA platform as its base, which is the same build platform as the C-Class. The F800 design language which was previously used in the S-Class and C-Class can be seen throughout the look and feel of the E-Class. However, the same design cues from the F800 which are used in the E-Class have ensured that it is very much like its cousin with similar (and sometimes identical) design traits.

Did You Know? In 2021 the E-Class will receive yet another impressive facelift and upgrade. This includes the addition of the E350e and All-Terrain model variants to a number of global models. Whether they will be launched in South Africa remains to be seen. Keep an eye on our Used Car Blog right here on this site for any updates, reviews or insights.

4th Generation Mercedes E-Class
2009 – 2016

Available globally as either a Saloon/Estate or a Coupé/Convertible, the 4th generation of Mercedes-Benz E-Class was (and still is) a breathtaking vehicle to look at and drive. As with the 5th generation E-Class, it took its design inspiration from some of the most popular Mercedes on the plant, namely the C-Class and the S-Class. Its angular and aggressive styling ensured that it has more than a few masculine qualities, which helped to boost its sales figures in some of the worlds biggest automotive markets.

Vehicle facelifts occurred in 2013 and this included styling refinements as well as equipment upgrades.

Did You Know? In a ”tip of the hat” to one of its predecessors, the 4th generation E-Class has bulging rear wheel arches which are reminiscent of the iconic “Ponton” Mercedes fender flares of the 1950s.

Older Generation Mercedes-Benz E-Class Vehicles

We very seldom stock used cars for sale which are more than a couple of generations old. However, the demand for certain models such as the E-Class means that occasionally we have a customer who is looking for a classic generation of this vehicle. For this reason, we are happy to assist you in sourcing any one of the following:

  • Fourth-Generation E-Class (2009–2016)
  • Third-Generation E-Class (2003–2009)
  • Second-Generation E-Class (1996–2002)
  • First-Generation E-Class (1993–1995)

We can also assist with finding some of the Mercedes E-Class predecessor models such as the W124 (1986–1994), the W123 (1976–1986), the W114, W115 (1968–1976), the W110 (1961–1968) and the W120 (1953–1962). Feel free to chat with one of our sales team regarding this.
