2026 E450 Pricing
Just got word that the '26 E450 base price is $72,300, up from $70,850. Delivery and destination is now $1,250 which I believe is an increase as well.
I've been looking at the E450 for a while; definately apprecate the info here regarding builds.
Thanks!

I have checked the MBUSA website. The lease on similarly equipped 2025 E350 and E450, although thousands apart in MSRP, lease out very close. It will be interesting to see how the leases on the 2026 E450 are. Perhaps and hopefully MB will raise the residuals and/or drop the money factor to keep the monthly lease payments down.

You are assuming that the tariffs are based upon the MSRP and that MB wants to maintain their profit margin on the tariffs. In the short run cost and price are not related. Price is ultimately determined by what customers are willing to pay.

I believe in both short and long run, costs affect price. The question is what portion of increased cost can the manufacturer shift to the consumer in higher prices. In discretionary spending, and I believe a Mercedes falls into the category of discretionary spending, the market - the consumer - will decide.

Agree and disagree: Tariffs are not based on MSRP as you posted. They are based on cost of the vehicle, less VAT, that is exported.
I believe in both short and long run, costs affect price. The question is what portion of increased cost can the manufacturer shift to the consumer in higher prices. In discretionary spending, and I believe a Mercedes falls into the category of discretionary spending, the market - the consumer - will decide.

If cost and price were related in the short run, you would not be able to purchase a brand new EQ vehicle that has been sitting on the lot with an MSRP of $100K for $70K. The cost did not decrease while it was sitting there. Also, it almost certainly does not cost anywhere near the ~$40K MSRP difference between an AMG GT55 and an AMG GT63. Price is set by the market.
"In discretionary spending, and I believe a Mercedes falls into the category of discretionary spending, the market - the consumer - will decide."
LIke almost everything price is set by the manufacturer based on their costs, but the selling price is always set by the consumer.Another example is the Ford MachE: Ford claims to "lose" almost $40,000 on each vehicle they sell. Ford sets a price, taken into consideration their costs, but when the car does not sell, Ford is forced to reduce their price "losing" more on each vehicle.
I think we are saying the same thing.

You are correct:
The MSRP on my 2019 E450 was $70,205
The MSRP on a 2025 E450 with the exact same equipment is $76,420
That is an increase of $6,215, 8.85% or 1.5% per year.

2026 E450 AT (on order)
A Mercedes dealer on the east coast has posted the sticker with MSRP of $78,200 for a 2026 E450 AT. No confirmation so far that it is accurate. Its a 2.76% increase FYI.
If I get confirmation of that MSRP I will post.

FYI - I looked to see what caused the $4k difference - the AT has Air Suspension as standard and for the Sedan - its an option of $3200 - I did not try to find the balance of the difference.

When you back out the down payment of $5,939 that increases the monthly payment by $207.38. to $1356. To this you must add sales tax.
Of course the $7,500 EV credit disappears in a few weeks as well.

...and options.
Yup the MF is more than double that of the 2025 E53 these last few months. Definitely making me think twice...I do not like paying interest. No guarantees of the loyalty bonus extending to next month, either.
