2023 Mercedes-Benz E Class vs. 2023 INFINITI Q50

The 2023 INFINITI Q50 is a sleek and sporty coupe with a shifty 7 speed automatic, standardized turbo six engine and comfortable cabin. But is this enough to beat the 2023 Mercedes-Benz E Class, a stunning car with a smooth engine, posh interior and superb suspension?

Design & Style

The Mercedes-Benz E Class seats five in absolute comfort, and provides a serene riding experience thanks to its 4MATIC® based all-wheel drive and 6 cylinder powertrain. Its dashboard is now completely digital, and passengers in front will enjoy heated seats that have memory settings. Performance is enhanced further by the heads up display, heated steering and air suspension.

The latest INFINITI Q50 retains the hallmarks that made it popular, with only light updates for 2023 like the addition of Saddle Brown leather, illuminated emblem in front and three years’ worth of complimentary maintenance. Unlike rear wheel drive, all-wheel drive is not standard and must be added at additional cost, but provides superior handling. Both the introductory version called Luxe and advanced Sensory use an identical powertrain.

Technology & Safety

Every INFINITI Q50 is well equipped with driver assistance functions like automated high beams, adapted cruise control, airbags, emergency automated brakes and blind are monitoring. Its cabin amenities consist of a dual display infotainment system, wifi that can accommodate up to seven devices, the choice of Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, climate control and leather upholstery.

Mercedes-Benz E Class easily matches the INFINITI when it comes to safety, offering all the same features. It too has adapted cruise control, emergency automated brakes, blind area monitoring, and more. Amenities within its cabin are extensive and include a rotary controller, voice commands, the option of Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, twelve inch touch display, Burmester audio and climate control.

Performance

Those that purchase the Mercedes-Benz E 450 will get the best performance, which includes an inline six, turbocharged engine that works with a forty eight volt mechanism that gives it 362 horsepower with the ability to accelerate from zero to sixty in just 4.7 seconds. The base INFINITI Q50 is powered by a V6, 3 liter engine that is dual turbo and capable of generating 300 horsepower with the option to upgrade to Red Sport which provides 400.

The Bottom Line

Both of these cars are stunning, seat the same name of passengers, and are comparably matched when it comes to safety features. However, the Mercedes-Benz E Class has better fuel economy at 23/20/28 mpg versus only 22/19/27 mpg for the INFINITI, and the Q50 also has a dated infotainment system, which makes the Mercedes-Benz E Class the winner.
