The BMW 5-Series vs. The Mercedes-Benz E-Class in Jacksonville, FL

For the Florida commuter who enjoys the elegant comfort and sporty performance of a BMW 5-Series, our lineup of new models will astound you! If you're ready to optimize your daily commute in Saint Augustine and Gainesville, this is one BMW sedan that offers an abundance of features that cater to your driving style and weekly commuting needs.

But how does the BMW 5-Series compare to a competitor model like the Mercedes-Benz E-Class? Here's what prospecting new car buyers can expect when sizing up both of these sedans.

Affordability

When it comes to finding classy comfort and performance, the BMW 5-Series holds a base price starting at $52,650 for the 530i sedan and 530e iPerformance Plug-in Hybrid. The M5, a top trim for the 5-Series starts at $102,600. For Mercedes-Benz buyers, look to pay more for the E-Class E300 which starts at $52,950 and if you're considering the Mercedes-Benz E63 S, you're shopping within the ballpark of $104,400.

Cargo Space

If you're looking for ample cargo space for your golf bags or weekend gear, the BMW 5-Series offers 18.7-cubic feet of cargo area with split-folding rear seats which is plenty for single drivers or small families. The E-Class sedan offers only 13.1 cubic feet at a standard trim level.

Power and Performance

If you're seeking superior sportiness in your daily commute, the BMW 5-Series is a wise choice. Coming standard with a 248-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder, the E-Class only provides a standard 241-horsepower four-cylinder turbo.

The same scenario goes for the upper trim level options with the 5-Series 335-horsepower six-cylinder, the available 465-horsepower V8. The E-Class shopper can look forward to less power with available engines like the 329-horsepower Twin-turbo V6, and the 396-horsepower twin-turbocharged V6. When you drive the BMW 5-Series, expect plenty of pep between your commute in Jacksonville Beach and Fernandina Beach and the city.

Fuel Efficiency

If saving money on fuel for your highway commute is what you're after, the BMW 5-Series receives an estimated 24 MPG city and 34 MPG on the highway and if you choose the Hybrid model, look to receiving 16-miles of electric range and up to 72 MPGe with gas and electric engines combined.

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class respectively receives 22 MPG city and 30 MPG on the highway and 20 MPG city and 26 MPG highway with the V6 engine. With sluggish acceleration compared to the BMW 5-Series and a lack of fuel efficiency, BMW is the better buy considering these two areas.
