Comfort
The Kia Stinger offers rear passengers about the same space to stretch out as the Mercedes-Benz E-Class with comparable rear head- and legroom in both vehicles.
The Kia Stinger will be a favorite with taller drivers due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
Convenience
With the Mercedes-Benz E-Class you will definitely be making less frequent stops at the gas station than with the Kia Stinger, due to its tank size and fuel economy.
Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Based on MSRP, the Kia Stinger is clearly a better financial choice over the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. The Kia Stinger and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class have similar Destination Charges.
Dimensions
The Kia Stinger is about the same width as the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
The Kia Stinger is slightly shorter than the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, which may make it easier to park.
Handling
The Kia Stinger has a smaller turning radius than the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.
Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Kia Stinger has a much more powerful engine than the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. However, something you should consider is that higher horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.
Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the engine of the Kia Stinger does a much better job of transmitting power to the wheels than the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Kia Stinger and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
Warranty
