That’s what we are here to find out! Let’s take a look at these luxury vehicles. Hopefully, we’ll be able to help you determine which one is the right model for you. Check it out!
Before we begin, please take note that we are comparing the base trims for both models. That means we are only looking at the power and technology features of the Mercedes-Benz E 300 and the A6 Premium. First up is the starting MSRP*. As you can see in the table below, the starting MSRP* of the E 300 is just a bit lower than that of the A6 Premium. This might not seem like much, but if you are interested in adding on any optional features, this wiggle room can go a long way.
