BMW has introduced a handful of updates to the 2023 7 Series, but any buyer who compares it to the 2022 S-Class will see that the large luxury sedan from Mercedes-Benz still stands head and shoulders above its rival. Ready to dive into the latest Mercedes-Benz S-Class vs. BMW 7 Series matchup? With more standard power, more rear legroom, and a stronger selection of standard features, only the S-Class has what it takes to please the Los Angeles region’s most discerning drivers.

Performance: BMW 7 Series vs. Mercedes-Benz S-Class

Although the Mercedes-Benz S-Class costs slightly more than the BMW 7 Series as standard, this is one situation in which you get what you pay for. That’s because the S-Class is both more powerful and faster off the line as standard:

• Standard Horsepower: 429 hp for the S-Class, 375 hp for the 7 Series
• Standard 0–60 MPH Acceleration: 4.9 seconds for the S-Class, 5.2 seconds for the 7 Series

Interior Dimensions: BMW 7 Series vs. Mercedes-Benz S-Class

Both the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and the BMW 7 Series are spacious large sedans that can accommodate up to five passengers—but drivers who compare the BMW 7 Series vs. Mercedes-Benz S-Class are not just looking for a good car. Most will want to drive home in the best of the best, and the S-Class maintains a narrow but important lead in an area where it truly matters: rear legroom. An extra 0.5 inches of legroom in the second row might not seem like much, but trust us when we say that a little extra room can do a lot to improve your time on the roads of Pasadena and Alhambra.

Moreover, the S-Class offers 59 inches of rear shoulder room, compared to 56.3 inches of the same in the 7 Series. It’s also worth noting that the S-Class has 2.3 more inches of first-row headroom—so you’ll have better visibility if you like to spend time in the driver’s seat.

Standard Features: BMW 7 Series vs. Mercedes-Benz S-Class

Extra power isn’t the only benefit you’ll receive in exchange for the asking price of the base-level S-Class. That’s because the S-Class comes standard with Wireless Apple CarPlay™ and Wireless Android Auto™, as well as HANDS FREE ACCESS® for the trunk! The BMW 7 Series requires a cable for its own connectivity features, and easier access to the trunk is only available as an optional upgrade.
