There is no doubt that the domestic luxury medium and large car market has been firmly controlled by German brands, and as the leader in this segment, Mercedes-Benz E-Class and BMW 5 Series are also the two most frequently mentioned models. From the sales point of view, in March this year, the 5 series sold 11029 vehicles, while the Mercedes-Benz E-class sold 11363 vehicles, the gap can be basically ignored, the two models can really be described as you chasing me, no one obeys anyone. To say why these two models have received the attention of consumers, one is that their respective positioning can bring excellent driving quality, and the other is that they can support their own face and can represent a certain status, so today we will compare it, the same as the German luxury C-class car, which of them is more worth considering?
For better comparison, we have selected the current more popular version, mercedes-benz E-class is priced at 498,800 yuan in the 2022 remodeled E300 L sport luxury model, while bmw 5 series is the 2022 revamped 530Li leading M sports suit version priced at 468,900 yuan. There is still a certain difference in the price of the two, such as Mercedes-Benz E-class is slightly more expensive, but for consumers this is a normal situation, Mercedes-Benz is more expensive has long become a tacit thing, otherwise how to be more honorable? In addition, expensive also has expensive benefits, such as better functional configuration.
Let's talk about the design part first, whether it is a Mercedes-Benz E-Class or a BMW 5 Series, it will definitely adopt the latest design language of the family, and the models selected today are equipped with sports kits, which is more in line with the aesthetics of young consumers. It is just that the different languages of their respective families, the effects displayed are also different, like the sport version of Mercedes-Benz E300L is more youthful, and at the same time, it does not lack the luxurious sense that this level of model should have, such as the sparkling grille with the three-pronged star logo, which is more exquisite than BMW's double kidney shape. However, the design of the headlight group is not as recognizable as the 530Li, and the new E-class now uses an inverted L-type LED daytime running lamp, which can only rely on the advantage of light source.
As a standard luxury medium and large sedan, Mercedes-Benz E-class and BMW 5 series are also veterans of this level, the figure of this piece does not need to worry, and from the specific data, the length and width of the E-class are 5078 * 1860 * 1480mm, the wheelbase reaches 3079mm, while the BMW 5 series length, width and height are 5106 * 1868 * 1500mm, the wheelbase reached 3105mm. It is not difficult to see that the BMW 5 Series is obviously slightly better, if you optimize the internal layout a little, then the ride space is naturally better than the E-class. As for the body side design, each is familiar with the family style, E-class is more elegant, 5 series is more sporty, to say the details, personally feel that this configuration of the E-class rim style is not as handsome as the 5 series.
A brief look at the tail, which is also their latest family language, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class is more inclined to the S-Class, while the BMW 5 Series belongs to its own faction. In terms of the visual effects created, the Mercedes-Benz E-class is obviously more attractive, there is no lack of movement in elegance, and the 5 series relies on the two-color design to show movement, but the sense of stability is less, coupled with the matrix LED light source application inside the Mercedes-Benz E-class light group, the light strip is arranged like a flying wing, and after lighting up, it also has a better recognition, and the 5 series is only three-dimensional.
The interior part has its own advantages, and more people may like mercedes-benz this double screen, because Mercedes-Benz has always been an internal styling for its strength, it is very good at creating a sense of luxury, so even the workmanship and materials of competitors are in line with this level of standards, but the details are always left behind by Mercedes-Benz. For example, the E-class of the real shot, the dual screen with the sports multi-function steering wheel, and the brown interior collocation, the details are also wood grain trim, bright chrome strips and other material embellishments, especially at night with 64 color atmosphere lights, the driving experience created is naturally better than the 5 series. But it is not to say that the workmanship and materials of the 5 Series are poor, but it is not as high-end as the E-class.
In terms of configuration, Mercedes-Benz E-class is still expensive, at least some of the practical functions are better than the BMW 5 Series, and the 5 Series has also been complained about because of configuration problems in the BBA. The first is the safety function, the E-class of this configuration has more panoramic images and automatic parking than the 5 Series, while the E-Class can spend less on the optional L2 level driver assistance system, but the 5 Series can only enjoy this treatment. Then there are some practical and comfort features, mercedes-benz E-class more steering wheel heating, front seat ventilation, front seat memory, second row seat electric adjustment and rear electric sun blinds.
To say that the ride experience, in fact, this level of the model is no problem, it depends on whether you have higher needs. First of all, leather seats are standard, and the E-class and 5 series are also careful in the use of materials and workmanship, but because of the different configurations, the experience in some specific scenarios is different. For example, soon into the hot summer, the E-class more ventilation function will naturally make the front passengers more comfortable, while the E-class can meet the needs of the rear passengers from different angles, coupled with enough space, then bmw 5 series is naturally difficult to have any surprises.
Power, Mercedes-Benz E-Class and BMW 5 Series the same use of 2.0T high-power engine, first of all, Mercedes-Benz this power parameters, the maximum power up to 190kW, the maximum torque of 370N ·m, matching 9AT gearbox, and standard variable suspension and variable steering ratio, the official 100 km acceleration only takes 6.9 seconds. The 5 series of 2.0T power maximum power of 185kW, the maximum torque of 350N·m, matching the 8AT gearbox, the chassis has no other functions, so want to be more comfortable and advanced driving quality can not be satisfied. However, the E-class handling is still not as accurate as the 5 Series, which may be considered to be more business reception, so Mercedes-Benz has not improved the tuning.
Summary: Through a simple comparison, it is not difficult to see that the E-class and 5 series of two luxury cars have excellent product power, as for how to choose the two to suit themselves, it is still insufficient budget. For example, more than 500,000 budgets must choose E-level, complete configuration and a strong sense of business, but within the budget of 500,000, the price of the 5 series is naturally more appropriate, and the configuration gap is not large, and the impact on daily practicality can be ignored.
