Not sure which luxury sedan to buy? With so many models available nowadays, we understand it can be tough to choose, but we can help you out here at Fields BMW Orlando.
Today, we're comparing one of our favorite models, the 2021 BMW 5 Series, to one of its top competitors, the 2021 Mercedes-Benz E-Class. When you see how they match up in three key areas, we’re sure you’ll want to look for a new BMW 5 Series for sale in Orlando, FL.
Space and Comfort Amenities
Inside the 2021 BMW 5 Series, you'll find a very spacious cabin that fits five people, and there is plenty of room in both rows. Synthetic leather upholstery and 16-way power-adjustable front seats are standard, but you can also opt for extra features, such as:
- Genuine leather
- Heated, ventilated, and massaging front seats
- 20-way power-adjustable front seats
- Heated rear seats
- A heated steering wheel
By comparison, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan also seats five people, but critics say that the back row can feel cramped. Not to mention, trunk space is also lacking, as it only offers 13.1 cubic feet of space. The trunk in the BMW 5 Series offers 14 cubic feet of space.
Tech and Safety Features
If you want your luxury BMW sedan to come with an assortment of tech features, you’re in luck. In addition to a user-friendly infotainment system, every BMW 5 Series comes with:
- Proximity keyless entry
- Push-button start
- 12.3-inch touchscreen
- Satellite and HD radio
- Two USB ports
- Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration
- 12-speaker stereo system
- Bluetooth® connectivity
If you're looking for an easy-to-use infotainment system in the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, you may want to look elsewhere. Its touchscreen can be cumbersome to use, and satellite radio doesn't come standard.
Both of these competing sedans are designed to keep you and your passengers safe. However, the 2021 BMW 5 Series comes with a wide assortment of standard safety features, including:
- Blind-spot monitoring
- Lane keep assist
- Front and rear parking sensors
- Forward collision warning
- Rear cross-traffic alert
- Lane departure warning
- Automatic emergency braking
- Adaptive cruise control
Some of the same features can be found in the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. However, lane keep assist, rear cross-traffic alert, and adaptive cruise control are only available at an additional cost.
