If you’re searching for a new luxury sedan to power your Niagara-on-the-Lake drives, you’ll likely end up stuck between two sophisticated models: the 2023 Mercedes-Benz E-Class and the 2023 Mercedes-Benz S-Class. As part of the Mercedes-Benz lineup, both the S-Class and E-Class offer exceptional performance, cutting-edge technology features, and unparalleled comfort inside the cabin. So, what’s the difference between the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and S-Class sedans, and which should you choose for your Pelham garage? Find out in the Mercedes-Benz E-Class vs. S-Class comparison from Performance Mercedes-Benz!

2023 Mercedes-Benz E-Class vs. S-Class: Performance

The main difference between the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and S-Class is performance. While the 2023 Mercedes-Benz S-Class offers more power and capability at the start of the lineup, the 2023 E-Class takes it a step further by providing a performance-oriented AMG model, taking the engine output to the next level. That said, only the Mercedes-Benz S-Class offers a plug-in hybrid model for unmatched fuel efficiency and short-range all-electric performance. Decide which of the powertrain options appeals to you most in the full breakdown of each sedan’s engine options below:

• • 2.0L Inline-4 Turbo Engine: Capable of up to 255 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque
  • 3.0L Inline-6 Turbo Engine with Mild Hybrid Drive: Capable of up to 362 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque

2023 Mercedes-Benz E-Class vs. S-Class: Standard Luxury

Regardless of which sedan you choose, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class or S-Class, you’ll find ultra-luxe features like heated, power-adjustable front seats with memory positions and 64-colour ambient lighting inside the cabin. Still, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class interior takes standard luxury features a step further than the 2023 E-Class interior, especially in terms of:

• Upholstery: The Mercedes-Benz E-Class comes standard with comfortable, durable ARTICO upholstery, perfect for the cold Niagara winters. The 2023 S-Class takes that luxury to another level, with standard leather upholstery across the lineup.

• Smartphone Integration: When you climb behind the wheel of a Mercedes-Benz E-Class or S-Class, you’ll experience seamless smartphone integration with standard Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. If you choose to upgrade to the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, though, you’ll find that integration even simpler with a standard wireless connection.

• Infotainment Systems: Both Mercedes-Benz sedans are equipped with large central touchscreen multimedia displays, ensuring drivers have easy access to their favourite apps and in-vehicle features. However, the 12.3-inch touchscreen in the Mercedes-Benz E-Class has tough competition with the larger 12.8-inch OLED touchscreen in the S-Class.
