The 2022 Mercedes Benz E Class is a truly magnificent car that has received acclaim for its augmented navigation, AMG handling and execution and world class safety functions. But what happens when it goes head to head with the 2022 Aston Martin Vantage, a British super car that has been made famous by the Bond films and is one of the hottest and most aggressive vehicles in the world?

Design & Style

The Aston Martin Vantage is more than just an automobile; it is art on wheels. It can be purchased in the form of a coupe with a hard body or convertible with a soft top. The cabin holds two passengers, who will sit in plush seats that can be ventilated or heated as desired. While an assortment of colors and trim options are available, the stick shift is only available in hardtop editions. The Mercedes Benz E Class can be purchased in the form of a convertible, coupe, wagon or moderately sized sedan. It is a hallmark of German engineering, with revised bumpers, updated light signatures and a lustrous, aerodynamic exterior.

Technology & Safety

The Mercedes Benz E Class protects its passengers with blind area monitoring, emergency automated brakes, parking sensors, cameras, driver assistance, multiple airbags and a special function named Pre-Safe which automatically notifies the driver if a rear collision is imminent and activates the brakes to stop the car from slamming into the vehicle in front of it. The cabin is loaded with luxury features like keyless entry and start, heated/cooled seats, smart phone compatibility, dual 12.3 inch displays and voice commands.

The Aston Martin Vantage does not offer any kind of driver assistance but does include a camera with 360 degree view, self-parking, carbon ceramic brakes and the ability to monitor blind spots. Comforts within its cabin include ventilated leather seats, an embroidered headrest, cockpit lined in faux suede or leather, eight inch displays, Bluetooth support but no Android Auto or Apple CarPlay.

Performance

The Aston Martin Vantage is outfitted with a V8, dual turbo engine that can generate 503 horsepower with 505 pounds of torque, that is wedded to a manual seven speed or automatic eight speed transmission. Those that buy the Mercedes Benz E63 Class will get a dual turbo V8 engine that can generate 603 horsepower that allows it to cruise from zero to sixty in around 3.3 seconds.

The Bottom Line

While visually impressive, the Aston Martin Vantage does not live up to its reputation. Ironically, it actually gets its engine technology from Mercedes, and since the E Class has more safety features, better performance, larger touchscreens and greater seating capacity, it surpasses the Aston Martin in every way, making it the winner.
