2019 Mercedes-Benz E 300 vs. 2019 Lexus LS 500

E-Class vs. LS: Price & MPG

If you’re looking for luxury but still appreciate the value of a dollar, the 2019 Mercedes-Benz E 300 has a price starting at $53,500* MSRP. This proves to be a much more reasonable price than the $75,450 starting MSRP of the 2019 Lexus LS 500. Clearly, the LS 500 is more expensive out of the gate, and it’s also less fuel efficient. If you’re looking for a blend of horsepower and mpg, you’ll be better served by the E 300. It earns 22 mpg city/30 mpg highway vs. the 16 mpg city/24 mpg highway rating of the LS 500.

E-Class vs. LS: Comfort

The LS 500 and E 300 include a wide array of similar luxury features, such as a power-adjustable driver seat with memory, automatic climate control, ambient interior lighting, HD Radio™, and Bluetooth®* technology. The E 300, however, offers a few standard interior features not available on the Lexus LS 500, including:

• 64-color ambient interior lighting
• Car-to-X Communication
• Android Auto™

E-Class vs. LS: Safety Features

Both sedans go the extra mile to keep you safe on Costa Mesa and Irvine roads. However, unlike the Lexus LS 500, the Mercedes-Benz E 300 comes standard with a host of driver assistance technologies:

• ATTENTION ASSIST®: During long drives, this standard driver attention monitor assesses your driving behaviors and scans for signs of drowsiness.
• Car-to-X Communication: This feature allows E-Class drivers around Huntington Beach to send and receive traffic and weather updates.
• PRESAFE® Sound: Linked to PRESAFE®, this system activates if an imminent collision is detected and emits a “pink noise” via the audio system to prep your ears for the sound of an impact.
