The 2020 Mercedes-Benz E-Class is a mesmerizing car which is why it is on the top spot among other midsize luxury vehicles today. It is great weather as a sedan, coupe, wagon, or a convertible variant. It certainly offers a lot more than just the diverse body styles as the 2020 version is more improved to impress a diverse set of car shoppers.
The 2019 BMW 5 Series, on the other hand, has toned down its performance-oriented appeal in order to reach a greater set of audience. Its interior, for example, has been fully redesigned to look more appealing. Will the horde of changes be able to make it better than the E-Class? Here is a comparison to find out.
Design & Style
The E-Class is made with exceptional materials both inside and out. The refined exterior is just as gorgeous as the previous models. What really makes it special, design-wise is its lovely cabin. The materials were carefully selected in order to surpass the expectations that are reserved for luxury vehicles. The E-Class does not disappoint with all the plush, soft-touch materials that seem to caress you back when touched.
The 5 Series is attractive but it is disappointing that most of its improvements were only concentrated on its cabin. Its exterior is beautiful but has aged and looks very familiar by now. The cabin has been transformed and is made interesting. What is not too great about it is that some of the details look overly done that they tend to be distracting.
Technology & Safety
The E-Class’ luxury does not end at the premium-looking cabin. The infotainment system is superb, thanks to the innovative features for this model year. The screens offer vivid graphics, multi-touch controls are seamless, and it is easy to get used to even though everything looks straight out of a futuristic movie.
The 5-Series is also tech-forward and has plenty of useful features. The catch, however, is that there are a number of in-car tech that are just merely there for a show.
Performance
The 255-hp engine under the hood of the E-Class is turbocharged to go all out on the road. The car performs according to the character you choose from its dynamic driving modes. This ensures that every drive is special since the car performs exactly how you want it to be.
The base model for the 5 Series is powered by a 248-hp engine. As a performance-oriented machine, you will not get disappointed with its well-rounded characteristics. It accelerates without too much effort, has a nicely-weighted steering, and powerful brakes.
The Bottom Line
The 2019 BMW 5-Series may have upgraded its cabin to look better but it is not as gorgeous as the 2020 Mercedes-Benz E-Class. The E-Class is better because it successfully balanced its styling cues with the modern in-car tech.
