Mercedes-Benz E300 Sedan vs. Cadillac CTS Sedan

E300

CTS

It’s a high-end matchup: the 2017 Mercedes-Benz E300 Sedan vs. 2017 Cadillac CTS Sedan. There are many compelling reasons to choose the E300, starting with luxury features that are designed to make driving a true pleasure. The E300’s leather seats are equipped with front dual-power lumbar support with an optional massage feature. Life is easy from behind the wheel of the E300, where you can access a standard remote fuel door release and optional fully automatic power trunk lid without even getting out of your car. None of these features are available for the CTS. The E300 also has a standard front power glass tilt and slide sunroof, while the CTS requires an upgrade. You can also opt for a power rear window sunshade, which is not an available option on the CTS.

There are some other key differences between these sedans when it comes to driving them, too. The E300 has a nine-speed automatic transmission with the convenient TouchShift operation on the steering column, while standard eight-speed automatic transmission is standard on the CTS. The E300 also has optional Interactive Adaptive Variable Suspension, which not a choice for the CTS. Drivers love the option for Intelligent Cruise Control on the E300, a system automatically adapting to traffic flow, hence, keeping you safer while making long road trips less taxing; this assistive feature is not available for the CTS. The E300 also comes standard with voice-activated navigation with real-time traffic information. This feature is simply not available on the CTS.
