Mercedes-Benz Performance
In the case of the S-Class and the 7-Series, the difference in power comes down to 4 horsepower and 36 lb-ft of torque. The horsepower difference is not enough to improve driving experience, but the torque range certainly is. From low RPMs, the S-Class is able to jump to life much quicker than the 750i. The Mercedes-Benz has more torque because it uses a 4.7-liter engine where the BMW only uses a 4.4 liter. This is still an impressive feat by BMW because it is almost making the same amount of power with a smaller engine. It is impressive, at least, until you see the efficiency ratings. With a larger, more powerful engine, Mercedes-Benz is still able to get more out of every drop of gasoline. For this reason, the 2016 Mercedes-Benz S-Class vs 2016 BMW 7-Series debate rests on the S550. If you have any questions, let us know at Mercedes-Benz of Arrowhead today!
