While on the road in Boulder City you can benefit from luxe appointments like Apple CarPlay® and a 12.3-inch touchscreen in both of these luxury sedans. Still, the E-Class does include some interior features that the Lexus model lacks, like:
You’ll find braking assists and other safety features built into the design of either the E-Class or GLS. However, Mercedes-Benz has long been known for leading the way in automotive safety, and that’s apparent in the additional safety features included in the new E-Class:
With the Lexus GS, you’ll get a standard 302-hp, 3.5L V6 while the standard E 350 Sedan engine is a 255-hp, 2.0L inline-4 turbo engine. While the base model GS may deliver more horsepower, those who want true racing capabilities will want the AMG® performance line of the E-Class. Choose the AMG® E 63 S, and you’ll experience the power offered by a handcrafted AMG® 4.0L V8 engine that can crank out 603-hp. The 2020 Lexus ES can only deliver 302 hp with its strongest engine.
Even if you don’t decide to move to the AMG® line, you’ll also enjoy more gears for shifting with the 9-speed automatic transmission of the base Mercedes-Benz E-Class. The Lexus GS has a standard 8-speed transmission.
