2022 Mercedes-Benz E-Class vs. Audi A6

Athletically Tuned Performance

While you’ll find similar outputs with their standard engines, this isn’t the case when comparing their optional powertrains. With available engines, there’s no competition.

The A6 comes with the optional 3.0L 55 TFSI® V6 engine, which produces up to 335 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque and can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.1 seconds. The 2022 Mercedes-Benz E-Class offers two additional engines, each more powerful than the strongest engine of the A6.

How Much Power Does the 2022 E-Class Provide?

Let’s look at the performance of the 2022 E-Class. For instance, the 3.0L inline-6 turbo engine offers:

• 362 horsepower
• 369 lb-ft of torque
• 4.9-second acceleration (0-60 MPH)

This is especially true when you look at the available handcrafted AMG® 3.0L inline-6 engine of the 2022 E-Class. With this engine equipped, you’ll get up to 429 horsepower and 384 lb-ft of torque, making it possible to go from 0 to 60 MPH in 4.4 seconds.

A Leader in Luxury: Premium Design

With standard features like heated front seats and five wood trim options, the cabin of your sedan will feel more like you’re at a resort than traveling to work.

While both sedans offer premium amenities that not only enhance the look of the cabin but your comfort too, the 2022 Mercedes-Benz E-Class offers standard features you won’t find with the A6, including 64-color LED ambient lighting.

Technologically Advanced Interior

In addition, your 2022 E-Class comes with several high-tech features:

• 12.3-inch touchscreen multimedia display
• Navigation system

Thanks to these features of the 2022 E-Class, you’ll feel like royalty each time you get behind the wheel. The Audi does offer a 10.1-inch screen and navigation, but your directions will be harder to see on the smaller screen.

Standard Safety Features

Staying safe is important. Both the 2022 E-Class and the Audi A6 are built to ensure you’ll have a safe ride. Both vehicles offer similar features, such as:

• Pre-collision safety systems
• Rearview Camera
• Highbeam Assist

More Standard Amenities

However, the 2022 Mercedes-Benz E-Class offers more standard amenities thanks to Car-to-X Communication. This standard feature can alert you about upcoming hazards based on what other vehicles have reported.

For example, if you’re traveling along the highway and are unaware of an accident a mile or so ahead, the Car-to-X Communication system can alert you to this hazard so you can take proper precautions. The Audi A6 doesn’t offer a similar feature.
