E-Class vs. 5 Series: Engine Specs & Features

Pop the hood of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class or BMW 5 Series and you’ll note that there’s a 2.0L inline-4 turbo engine powering each of these premium sedans. However, the power that each of these engines delivers is very different:

2021 Mercedes-Benz E-Class

Horsepower: 255 hp
Torque: 273 lb-ft

2021 BMW 5 Series

Horsepower: 248 hp
Torque: 257 lb-ft

In addition to having the higher engine output, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class also boasts the added control offered by the 9G-TRONIC® 9-speed automatic transmission. The BMW 5 Series only gets an 8-speed transmission.

E-Class vs. 5 Series: Safety Features & Driver Assists

Pre-collision systems, driver attention monitors, and rearview cameras are standard in both the E-Class and 5 Series sedan. While these definitely increase your peace of mind while traveling through North Las Vegas, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class goes above and beyond these offering with additional safety features that are missing on the 5 Series, such as:

PRESAFE® Sound- Using a special tone that triggers a reaction in the inner ear, the PRESAFE® Sound system protects from hearing damage during a crash.
Crosswind Assist- When a lateral gust hits your vehicle, this feature helps keep you on course.
Rear Seat Belt Pretensioners- While both sedans include front seatbelt pretensioners, only the E-Class provides this protection for the rear passengers.
