Performance

The differences between the E-Class and the S-Class begin behind the wheel. You can choose between three powertrains for the E-Class. The base trim level has a 255-horsepower, turbo 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine, and a nine-speed auto transmission. The mid-level powertrain is a turbo 3.0-liter, six-cylinder, 362-horsepower engine. The top option is a V6, 429-horsepower system with a sport-tuned drivetrain and a sport-tuned suspension system. In comparison, the 2022 S-Class has two engine possibilities. These include a 429-horsepower, V6, turbo 3.0-liter engine, and a 496-horsepower, V8, turbo 4.0-liter system.

Appearance

You will also notice differences between these Mercedes-Benz sedans when you compare them. A flowing profile and smoothly contoured sides define the smaller E-Class sedan. The hood shows four distinct accent lines that trend into an A-frame grille. This is a short, stretched grille that is flanked by thick headlamps. The headlights have an angled, hook-like ribbon of LED lighting. The S-Class for 2022, on the other hand, has chrome accent bars that run horizontally through a large, crest-style grille. The grille sits between a pair of sharp, angled LED headlights. The hood is smooth and adorned with a hood ornament. Like the E-Class, the S-Class has smoothly defined sides.

Features

Your comparison of the 2022 E-Class and the S-Class continues with looking at these sedans’ pampering features. The E-Class is available with equipment like heated seats, leather upholstery, smart device integration, a head-up display, an augmented reality navigation system, a Burmester 3D audio system, a panoramic sunroof, contoured and massaging front seats, and other desired features. The S-Class includes some of these same features. It also adds a more powerful sound system, a rear wireless charging pad, a rear entertainment center, a four-zone auto climate management system, a rear control panel, and memory functions with power adjustments for the rear seats.
