CONFIGURABILITY
BMW 5 Series

Your next sedan should match your wants and needs. Fortunately, both the BMW 5 Series and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class can be configured in various ways. That means you can find a trim level from either model that satisfies the performance you crave.

Choose Your Cruiser

When choosing a luxury sedan for your work commutes or quick escapes, you’re going to want to find a model with plenty of configurability. Fortunately, both the 2022 BMW 5 Series and the 2022 Mercedes-Benz E-Class have multiple trim levels to choose from:

BMW 5 Series Trim Levels
Mercedes-Benz E-Class Trim Levels
  • 530i and 530i xDrive
  • 530e and 530e xDrive
  • 540i and 540i xDrive
  • M550i xDrive
  • E 350 and E350 4MATIC
  • E 450 4MATIC
  • AMG E 53

On top of giving you many options to choose from, both models also include rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive options. So, if you prefer a little extra traction for your slick drives, the all-wheel drive models may suit you well.

Plug in to Your Drive

Both the BMW 5 Series and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class offer 6-cylinder engines with mild hybrid drive capabilities. These models include a starter generator that offers better efficiency, improved comfort, and energy regeneration while decelerating.

Despite this, the 5 Series offers a plug-in hybrid model: the 530e. Unfortunately, the Mercedes-Benz does not offer a comparable model, which would benefit drivers who spend a lot of time traveling to business conferences out of town.

SAFETY
BMW 5 Series

Do you want to feel confident while driving? If so, let the BMW 5 Series and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class instill such bravery in you. Both luxury sedans have their own respective safety suites that lend a helping hand to your every travel plan.

Standard Safety Protocol

As luxury sedans, you can expect standard safety features that will help keep you and your precious cargo safe on board. The 5 Series and the E-Class equip these features on every trim level:

  • Frontal Collision Warning
  • Active Blind Spot Detection
  • Rear-view Camera
  • Automatic High Beams

With the help of these features, you can drive confidently on any road.

Advanced Security Measures

If you’re looking for more standard driver-assistance features, the BMW 5 Series may be the better option for you. Although the Mercedes-Benz offers exclusive features that make it unique, it goes without a few standard driver-assistance features that the BMW has:

  • Lane Departure Warning
  • Lane Keeping Assist
  • Park Distance Control, front and rear

To achieve greater security, you’ll have to add a safety package to the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.

INTERIOR
BMW 5 Series

The interiors of the 5 Series and the E-Class are designed for drivers like you. Between their premium textiles and advanced technologies, both models will help you achieve a focused and refined drive in the lap of luxury.

An Accommodating Cabin Experience

The 2022 BMW 5 Series and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class ensure all drivers and passengers are comfortable in their luxurious cabins. For instance, these models feature lush seating surfaces to make any family trip from Point A to Point B cozy.

You’ll also find comprehensive infotainment systems in both sedans with their 12.3-inch multimedia displays. Plus, both models are compatible with these integration features:

  • Apple CarPlay™
  • Android Auto™
  • Bluetooth®
Room to Fill Up

What’s truly going to aid your next road trip is the trunk space these vehicles offer for any luggage or memorabilia you pick up along the way. However, if you need more space, the BMW could be the better option:

  • BMW 5 Series Cargo Room: 14 cubic feet
  • Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cargo Room: 13.1 cubic feet

With slightly more room available in the 5 Series, you’ll be able to squeeze in last-minute finds or small pieces of luggage.

Which Luxury Sedan Is Better for You?
BMW 5 Series

It’s no surprise that both the 2022 BMW 5 Series and the 2022 Mercedes-Benz E-Class are meant to impress any driver who gets behind the wheel. However, after comparing the two models, our team believes a hybrid powertrain, standard driver-assistance features, and more cargo space make the BMW your better choice.
