Performance and Handling

For an improved handling experience, both sedans feature an automatic transmission and driver-configurable dynamics for a laid-back or sporty ride. At the core of the 2018 Jaguar XF rests a 2.0L turbo-diesel 4-cylinder engine that creates 180 hp and 318 lb-ft of torque. The similarly equipped 2018 Mercedes-Benz E 300, on the other hand, draws its energy from a 2.0L turbo 4-cylinder engine. While the new E-Class E 300 produces a slightly lower 273 lb-ft of torque, it far surpasses the XF Sedan’s 180 hp with a staunch 241 hp.

Cabin Amenities and Technology

As far as the 2018 Mercedes-Benz E 300 Sedan and 2018 Jaguar XF Sedan are concerned, a lavish cabin is par for the course. Dual-zone automatic climate control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a power sunroof, and push-button ignition are all standard features for the XF and E 300 Sedans. True to E-Class fashion, however, the E 300 steals the limelight with its stunning array of exclusive interior amenities, including:

  • 12.3-inch central display screen
  • COMAND® hard-drive navigation
  • Memory settings for the front seats, steering column, and side mirrors
  • Touch Control buttons for the steering wheel
  • 4-way power lumbar support
  • 64-color LED ambient lighting
  • 40/20/40-split-folding rear seats
  • Smartphone integration (Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto)

Standard Driver Assists

On the road, the 2018 XF and 2018 E 300 go the extra mile to keep you and your passengers out of harm’s way, thanks to airbag protection, stability control, and anti-lock brakes. What the Jaguar XF lacks in comparison, however, is the intuitive systems many Laguna Beach drivers appreciate. While LED headlamps and forward collision mitigation are featured on the XF R-Sport trim, the E 300 includes those as standard, as well as the following:

  • Car-to-X Communication: Using this technology, E-Class drivers can communicate amongst each other by sending out weather warnings and crash alerts.
  • ATTENTION ASSIST®: As a driver attention monitor, ATTENTION ASSIST® detects drowsiness and poor concentration, and alerts you when it’s time to rest during long drives.
  • PRESAFE®: The moment PRESAFE® detects collision- or rollover-specific instability, it springs into action by prepping the cabin and its occupants.
  • PRESAFE® Sound: If a collision is likely, PRESAFE® Sound emits a “Pink Noise,” which triggers a reflex reaction in your ear and prepares you for the sound of an impact.
