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

When you’re in the market for a new luxury sedan, you may be stuck between the 2023 Mercedes-Benz E-Class and the 2023 Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Both offer premium performance, sophisticated style, and a range of comfort and convenience features to elevate your Los Angeles drives, but only one will be right for your lifestyle and budget. Discover the difference between the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and S-Class with this guide from Mercedes-Benz of Arcadia to decide which sedan will end up in your driveway!

2023 Mercedes-Benz E-Class vs. S-Class: Price & Luxury

One of the biggest differences between these two Mercedes-Benz sedans is their starting prices. The 2023 Mercedes-Benz E-Class starting trim, the E 350 Sedan, starts at a competitive $56,750 MSRP* while the 2023 Mercedes-Benz S-Class base trim level, the S 500 4MATIC®®, starts at $114,500 MSRP*. The price jump in the Mercedes-Benz S-Class is due to the wealth of technology, convenience features, and performance that the S-Class offers as standard. Some of the features you can expect on the S-Class that either require an upgrade or are unavailable on the E-Class include:

• AIRMATIC®® Air Suspension
• Burmester®** 3D Surround Sound System
• Toll Gate Transponder
• MAGIC VISION CONTROL®
• Leather upholstery
• HANDS-FREE ACCESS®
• Soft-close doors
• Biometric authentication
• Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™

That said, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class doesn’t skimp on luxury. Pasadena drivers can enjoy standard features on the E-Class, such as a 12.3-inch touchscreen multimedia display with “Hey, Mercedes” keyword activation, built-in MB Navigation, power-adjustable and heated front seats, and more!
