2022 Audi A7 vs. 2022 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
In the luxury car market, it's tough to stand out. Whether you're looking at Audi and Mercedes-Benz, or BMW and Lexus, there are a lot of cars that look similar. But regarding specifics, these companies have different takes on what makes a great luxury sedan. So which one should you buy? Let's talk specs and features!
Design & Style
- Exterior Design
The Audi A7 has a subtle design that doesn't stand out in traffic, but you're sure to notice it when walking by. The Mercedes-Benz E-Class, conversely, is bolder—you'll be hard-pressed to miss this car on the road. The A7's smooth curves are elegant and aerodynamic, while the E-Class's sharp angles give it a sporty look.
Although these cars are similar in appearance, they differ greatly in size: The 2022 Audi A7 has an overall length of 183 inches (4790 mm), whereas the 2022 Mercedes-Benz E-Class measures 191 inches (4896 mm). - Interior Design
The Audi A7 is a large luxury sedan with ample room for four adults and their luggage. The E-Class has similar dimensions, but the seats are more comfortable, and the back seat is more spacious. Both cars have vast storage areas, but Audi’s trunk is larger than that of its competitor.
The Audi A7 has seating for five passengers, while the Mercedes-Benz E-Class can accommodate up to six passengers. While both vehicles provide plenty of legroom for front seat occupants and those sitting in back seats, only those sitting behind the driver and front passenger may feel comfortable given limited headroom due to the sunroof design on A7 (only available in the convertible).
Technology & Safety
The 2022 Audi A7 comes with a 7.0-inch touchscreen for the infotainment system and a 4G LTE WiFi hotspot. It also has Google Assistant integration, Android Auto compatibility, Apple CarPlay integration, and an optional Bang & Olufsen audio system.
The 2022 Mercedes-Benz E-Class comes with an 8.4-inch touchscreen for its infotainment system, Apple CarPlay integration, Android Auto compatibility, and optional Bang & Olufsen audio system.
Performance
The 2022 Audi A7 has a standard 3.0L V6 engine that produces 335 horsepower and receives an EPA rating of 20 miles per gallon in the city, 28 miles per gallon on the highway, and 23 miles per gallon combined. The 2022 Mercedes-Benz E-Class has a standard 3.0L V6 engine that produces 302 horsepower and receives an EPA rating of 20 miles per gallon in the city, 29 miles per gallon on the highway, and 23 miles per gallon combined.
The Bottom Line
In the end, the 2022 Audi A7 is a better choice than the 2022 Mercedes-Benz E-Class. It's faster, more stylish, and has more modern tech. The E-Class may be less expensive than an A7, but it delivers little of what you'd expect from a luxury car in 2022.
