Is the 2021 Mercedes Benz E 350 a luxury sedan worth the price?

The are some updates to the Mercedes Benz E350 for 2021. Under the hood is a 3.0L turbocharged inline-4 producing 255HP & mated to a 9-speed automatic. The E class receives some updates including a front fascia, wheels, rear bumper and other touches. On the interior you will be welcome to an all new steering wheel, and all of the great technology you will need. Is the 2021 Mercedes Benz E 350 worth the price?
