If you’re ready to get behind the wheel of a luxury sedan that’s designed around your needs, you’ll see there are several options for your adventures around the Jackson, Clinton, and Ridgeland, areas. There’s no doubt that BMW and Mercedes-Benz have been producing high-quality vehicles for decades.
However, when comparing the 2020 BMW 5 Series vs. Mercedes-Benz E-Class, which sedan is the right fit for your lifestyle? Herrin-Gear BMW is taking a closer look by comparing these vehicles and exploring their key amenities and features. It’s worth starting with what’s under their hoods.
Once you’re behind the wheel of a luxury vehicle, you want it to be able to provide the performance and drive feel you’re looking for. Choose the 2020 BMW 5 Series, and you’ll be in possession of a vehicle that provides the kind of performance you want.
Let’s start with the entry-level BMW 5 Series, which feels anything but entry-level after you press down on the accelerator. The standard 2.0L Turbocharged engine delivers 248 horsepower—plenty of power for daily drives around the Magnolia State, and adventures on the highway. The Mercedes-Benz E 350 sedan, the entry-level E-Class offering, makes 255 horsepower, which is similar to the 5 Series.
BMW takes things to new heights with the M model, though. This performance edition carries a V-8 engine that makes 523 horsepower. If you’re comparing that engine to the Mercedes-Benz E 450 with 4-wheel drive, the comparison isn’t even a close one, considering that the Mercedes-Benz only delivers 362 horsepower.
Inside the BMW 5 Series, you’ll have access to all kinds of technology, and it’s always just a touch away. The Live Cockpit Professional feature, for example, comes with a 12.3-inch instrument cluster and a large central information screen. You’ll have a wealth of vehicle data right in front of you.
The 5 Series is the only one of these sedans to come with the iDrive 7.0 system, which can be controlled by your voice, a touchscreen, or the iDrive touchpad controller. The E-Class comes with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and the COMAND® system, which offers a touchpad mounted in the front console. However, you won’t be able to use this Mercedes-Benz system with your voice—a key point of difference between these models.
Comfort is important when it comes to your next car, and the 5 Series and E-Class deliver when it comes to comfort and convenience features. The 2020 BMW 5 Series envelops you with 16-way power front sport seats, including lumbar support and side bolsters for those longer trips. Heading on a long drive? You’ll quickly see how this comes in handy. The E-Class offers similar capability with its front seats.
When it comes to space, however, the E-Class just can’t compete with the 2020 5 Series. You’ll have over 18 cubic feet of cargo space as you drive around in the BMW 5 Series. The Mercedes-Benz E-Class only comes with a little over 13 cubic feet. Who takes home the victory here? It’s the 5 Series.
