Luxury sedans let you navigate the roads of North Las Vegas in style, but, how do you decide between beloved models like the 2021 Mercedes-Benz E-Class vs. 2020 Lexus GS? The Lexus GS is being discontinued after the 2020 model year, while the E-Class will continue to be a staple in the Mercedes-Benz lineup due to its popularity.

Get to know more as we cover the differences between the Mercedes-Benz vs. Lexus models with our luxury sedan comparison.

E-Class vs. GS: Technology

Inside the cabin of the E-Class or GS you’ll be able to enjoy a large 12.3-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay®, and premium appointments. However, for the slightly higher price of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, you’ll find additional luxuries to be had, such as:

  • 64-color LED Ambient Lighting- Set the tone for your drive from Pahrump by choosing lighting that matches your mood. 
  • Android Auto™- While both models offer Apple CarPlay®, only the E-Class can accommodate Android users to allow for hands-free app access and hands-free texting and calls. 

E-Class vs. GS: Safety

A variety of driver assistance options and safety features provide peace of mind in either the E-Class or GLS. Yet, for those that want to feel truly confident behind the wheel in Spring Valley, the E-Class offers additional features and technologies like:

  • Car-to-X Communication: E-Class drivers in and around Summerlin can send/receive traffic updates, weather notifications, and hazard warnings.
  • PRESAFE Sound®- This feature emits a special tone that minimizes the impact that the noise of a crash can have on the inner ear. 
  • Crosswind Assist- When traveling on the highway, strong winds can blow you off course. Crosswind Assist works to keep you on your intended path so that doesn’t happen. 

E-Class vs. GS: Performance

A standard 302-hp, 3.5L V6 engine powers the base model Lexus GS while a 255-hp, 2.0L inline-4 turbo engine is found on the E 350 Sedan. While this may seem like GS offers superior performance, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class also comes in the performance-focused AMG® models, with the top-of-the-line AMG® E 63 S boasting a handcrafted 603-hp, AMG® 4.0L V8 engine. The strongest engine the 2020 Lexus ES has can only manage 302 hp.

What’s more, even with the entry-level models of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, you’ll get a 9-speed automatic transmission which will allow for smoother shifting when you’re out in Paradise. Comparatively, the Lexus GS has a standard 8-speed transmission.
