The 2019 Mercedes-Benz E-Class is a premium luxury mid-size vehicle that is loaded with outstanding features. This year’s version has received new enhancements as if it needed more. The E-Class is well-loved for its versatility, athleticism, and advantageous tech features.
A worthy contender for the best luxury mid-size cars is the 2019 Audi A5. The brand is known for being the first to give state-of-the-art safety features ahead of the competition. This comparison will reveal a battle between two well-respected vehicles in their segment.
The design and styling of the E-Class are focused on achieving both style and comfort. The bulbous details on the hood are eye-catching. It looks great but did not sacrifice the importance of having enough space in the cabin for the passengers to be comfortable. The interior styling is also upgraded to look more premium with the use of a variety of first-class materials.
As for the A5, its looks are evolutionary. There are sharper areas on the body and a lowered grille that is slightly wider than the last version. These changes in the design were slow and deliberate but are very effective. The A5 scores high in the style department especially because they raised the bar higher even for the interior design and layout.
The E-Class received remarkably high marks from standard safety tests. This is proof of how advanced its tech features are. It is not only loaded with the best driver aids, but it also aims to entertain with its revolutionary infotainment system.
Audi’s MMI is a well-acclaimed infotainment system. It has one of the most user-friendly interfaces among all other car infotainment systems. The placement of the audio and navigation systems are also eye-pleasing and accessible.
The company is a genius at providing plenty of options for those who prefer to own an E-Class. The four varieties in body styles are the sedan, wagon, coupe, and convertible. They have different specifications for their individual performances. Different powertrains are used on the four trim levels. For the sedan, a 2.0-liter engine can give up to 241 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque. The most powerful trim would be the AMG® E 63 S where a turbocharged V8 engine can deliver up to 603 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque.
A 2.0-liter turbocharged engine powers all three trims of the A5. It can go up to a maximum of 248 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque.
Both the 2019 Mercedes-Benz E-Class and 2019 Audi A5 are exceptional vehicles. What makes the E-Class several notches higher than the A5 is that it offers a lot of versatility not only in style but also in performance. The driver is given the power to choose the level of elegance and power to have for his or her E-Class.
