2018 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Sedan vs 2018 BMW 7 Series Sedan
For decades, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class lineup has been a flagship for the brand. The 2018 model year has seen a complete overhaul of the well-loved sedan. The new S-Class features the latest features and technology pioneered by Mercedes-Benz to optimize comfort, connectivity, safety, and luxury. We want you to always shop informed, so the team at Jack Ingram Motors has put together this comparison of the 2018 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Sedan vs the 2018 BMW 7 Series Sedan.
For this comparison, we'll be looking at the base configurations for both sedans. Specifically, they are the 2018 Mercedes-Benz S 450 and the 2018 BMW 740i. At first glance at the table below, you'll notice that the BMW is slightly less in MSRP than the S 450. Cheaper isn't always better, though. With the slightly higher starting price of the S 450, drivers get a larger engine with a higher peak horsepower. In this case, more power doesn't mean a drop in fuel economy, as both model's EPA-estimated fuel economy and their 0-60 acceleration times remain similar.
