When it comes to mid-size luxury vehicles, the 2020 Mercedes-Benz E-Class still leads the pack as it delivers all the right features in all configurations. The ride quality of the E-Class has set the standards on its segment and no one can deny how exceptional it is in terms of performance.
If there is one thing that makes the 2020 Audi A6 great, it is the fact that it clearly splits the difference between a compact and full-sized luxury vehicle. It is a great pick for a mid-size luxury sedan but it can be easily overlooked for having uninspired styling.
Design & Style
The E-Class is a stunner at all angles. It is pretty as a sedan with the wide grille, flared fenders, and the sloping tail. The wagon is beautiful with the svelte proportions. Both the coupe and convertible are a knockout with the fastback-style profile. All the design features give the E-Class family a timeless elegance that cannot be matched.
The Audi A6, on the other hand, has a style that significantly aged. This is so true since you can instantly recognize it anywhere as it hasn’t changed so much from its previous versions. This is such a disappointment for any luxury car shopper who also pays for a great styling apart from an incredible performance.
Technology & Safety
The new E-Class is equipped with the groundbreaking “Car-to-X” technology. This basically makes the car very intelligent as it is able to collect information and updates before the driver can. Driving conditions, hazards, and even activation of the driver-safety features are all taken care of by the car as it is connected to a central information resource. This futuristic innovation makes the E-Class a lot safer compared to any other vehicles.
The infotainment system of the A6 is more complex and is daunting to use. There is a need to be very familiar with the whole set of digital instrument cluster before you can genuinely be thankful for its uses.
Performance
The E-Class has a standard 255 hp 2.0 liter engine for the base models and up to 603 hp on the 4.0 liter V8 models. Although the car’s efficiency is not measured only through the engine alone, you are in for a sweet surprise with the E-Class’ agility and confidence. The transmission is both quick and responsive. It grips the pavement well and the ergonomically-designed seats ensure that the driver and passengers are equally embraced with the ample support.
The A6 is available with both a 2.0 liter 248 hp and 3.0 liter V6 335 hp engines. It copes well across varied road conditions and delivers an impressive acceleration for the V6 model.
The Bottom Line
The 2020 Mercedes-Benz E-Class is a well-rounded and desirable vehicle and is far more entertaining to drive compared to the 2020 Audi A6. The plush styling, innovative technologies, and cutting-edge performance make the E-Class one, if not the best, luxury mid-size car that money can buy.
