Test bench | Competition from the Mercedes E-Class

The Mercedes E-Class faces three rivals: the Audi A6, the BMW 5 Series and the Genesis G80.

Audi A6

Price: from $67,700

The debut of the fifth and current generation of the A6 dates back to 2019 already. Never mind, this Audi is not afraid to compete with the latest E-Class from Mercedes so far. The firm with the rings offers a much wider range and, unlike Mercedes, maintains the family (Avant) catalog. The latter comes in two flavors: RS or Allroad. Furthermore, the Audi has so far demonstrated that it has reached a stage of development that is difficult to surpass, making it one of the most reliable vehicles in its class.

The BMW 5 Series

Much like Audi’s A6, BMW’s 5 Series is no longer a youth, but it still has a lot to offer. Starting with a rechargeable hybrid engine. This allows this sedan to travel a distance of some 30 kilometers in electric mode. It’s not much, but it still allows this BMW to consume less than 10 L/100 km on average. On the dynamic level, the BMW remains, for this category, a reference, but its interior presentation begins to date.

Genesis G80

Price: from $70,150

The Genesis G80

All the difficulty of the bet launched by Genesis lies in its coat of arms which lacks prestige. That’s not to say the G80 isn’t worth looking into. Even if its technical advances and the dynamism of its behavior are set back compared to the fine linen of the segment, this Genesis displays more than comparable reliability.
