Considerations

Top Speed

All vehicles achieve a top speed of about 250 km/h, with the exception of the Lexus GS 350, which tops out at 230 km/h. This could be relevant for drivers who regularly travel on highways.

Fuel Consumption

The BMW 535i and the Audi A6 3.0T Quattro offer the best fuel consumption at around 8.1-8.2 L/100km, while the Lexus GS 350 is highest at 9.4 L/100km. This is an important factor for cost-conscious drivers.

Practicality

The Mercedes-Benz E350 offers the largest trunk capacity at 540 L, followed by the Audi A6 and Lexus GS 350 with 530 L. The BMW 535i offers 520 L. This could be decisive for families or drivers with regular luggage needs.

Safety
