Comparison Review

Comfort
Due to its greater rear head- and legroom, backseat passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Dodge Challenger than the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Dodge Challenger, drivers may find the Mercedes-Benz E-Class a little roomier and somewhat more comfortable.

Convenience
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class requires fewer visits to the gas station than the Dodge Challenger, making it more convenient to drive.

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 Dodge Challenger is clearly a better financial choice over the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.

Dimensions
Since the Dodge Challenger is much wider than the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Dodge Challenger, which is slightly longer than the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.

The Dodge Challenger has about the same turning radius as the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, allowing equal maneuverability in and out of tight spots.

When it comes to horsepower, the Dodge Challenger is somewhat more powerful than the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the engine of the Dodge Challenger transmits a bit more power to the wheels than the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
