It has an array of potent powertrain options which lands the E-Class on one of the top rankings of most online charts. Check out what other features this high-performance vehicle has to offer through the write-up below where we compare the E-Class against the 2021 Cadillac CT5.
Design & Style
The E-Class delivers optimum luxury by combining both luxury and comfort within its spacious cabin. The car seats up to five people on cushy seats upholstered in synthetic leather. Its front row comes standard with power adjustment options and heat function for comfy rides regardless of distance. Its cabin style looks and feels opulent with plenty of premium materials found on its surfaces including open-pore wood, aluminum, and leather.
The Cadillac CT5 has a seating capacity of 5. Its front row comes equipped with power adjustments but side bolstering is lacking. Its rear seats are just as unimpressive with space running a little low. Its cabin has several obvious weaknesses like the materials it uses on its surfaces which feel cheap and look sloppy. For a car in the luxury vehicle class, one would expect a more lavish outlook.
