It is impossible not to like the 2019 Mercedes-Benz E-Class. After all, this car is the car of dreams for many of those who grew up in the past decade. With the latest version out, one can only dream some more as this car never stopped at being so great in its class.
Another strong contender for the top mid-size luxury sedan is the 2019 Jaguar XF. It may not be the brand’s jewel but it is packed with plenty of cutting-edge tech and features that made it interesting. Let us find out if it can match the E-Class in any way.
The 2019 Mercedes-Benz E-Class is a stunner at any angle. The brand did not hold back in its styling or with its intricate details. The exterior has an expensively-groomed appeal to it that is well-balanced to look as perfectly attractive as it can be.
The XF has a German-influenced exterior design that works. It does, however, share the same looks as the smaller Jaguar XE making it confusing even to the trained eye.
The E-Class has ample infotainment equipment that comes standard on the base trim. You can already live with it already as they are already lavish on its own. Of course, there are decadent optional extras that will further enhance both the entertainment and safety features of the E-Class. The good mix of standard passive and active safety features is remarkable.
For the XF, most of the excellent tech features come with a price. It is too much considering that even the latest smartphone integration has to be purchased. This significantly affects its desirability since many cars, including the E-Class, has the impressive tech for their base trims.
The standard engine for the E-Class can deliver up to 241 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque. This gives the car an unflappable composure on the road. The AMG® versions can reach up to 603 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque. Even if the average driver does not need that much power, it is quite impressive to note that this car is truly powerful.
As for the XF, the highest trim can only get up to 380 hp from its supercharged V6 engine. The base trim with a turbodiesel engine has an uninspiring 180 hp and 318 lb-ft of torque.
The 2019 Jaguar XF might have had a good shot at keeping up even with the mighty 2019 Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Everything went south when it consistently asks for more money for features that are already standard on other brands. The E-Class, on the other hand, has plenty to offer. It gives more value for money as all features on the base trim are already premium-quality.
