For buyers who need a large luxury coupe with the ability to offer a gripping ride, the 2021 BMW 6-Series offers that and much more. A large cabin, which is unique for a coupe, ensures that you can carry your family around with ease. The luggage space is also generous making the 2021 6-Series very practical as well. When you need to tear around the race track, you can count on the 2021 6-Series to deliver. The ride quality is superb and the silence inside the cabin is almost surreal.
The 2021 Mercedes-Benz E-Class coupe is a well-styled car that is sure to turn heads anywhere you go. As a coupe, there is limited functionality when it comes to cabin and luggage space but that should not bother most people who choose a coupe over the larger and more spacious sedan. Still, there are some issues with performance and handling which are surprising for a car of this pedigree.
Design & Style
BMW has not changed the 2021 edition of the 6-Series much apart from a refreshed grille and front bumpers. The 2021 6-Series is an imposing coupe and its sporty stance enhances its pedigree. As one would expect, the cabin is plush with creature comforts and everything has a premium feel to it. As mentioned earlier, the generous cabin and trunk space allow the 2021 6-Series to function perfectly as an everyday car.
While the 2021 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe is well designed, cabin space is seriously compromised by the sloping roofline. This limits the functionality of the 2021 E-Class Coupe. The interior is also plush with luxury features and the instrument panel is designed to put all controls within easy reach.
Technology & Safety
The base model of the 2021 BMW 6-Series comes with a lot of tech and safety features, most of which are options in other models. A crisp-clear audio system from Bang & Olufsen ensures that you will never need to upgrade your vehicle’s audio system. The 2021 6-Series infotainment system comes with BMW’s iDrive software which delivers a delightful infotainment experience.
The 2021 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe also comes with a host of tech features including a ten-inch infotainment display. The car also comes with smartphone integration among many others.
Performance
Just like its 2020 predecessor, the 2021 BMW 6-Series is offered in two variants namely with a V8 engine and a V6 engine. Both deliver outstanding performance and the 2021 6-Series never feels underpowered even under the most grueling driving conditions. If you happen to drive over a rough surface, you may not even notice it, thanks to the excellent suspension system in the 2021 6-Series.
When it comes to the 2021 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe, you get an inline-6 engine that replaced the V6 in the base model. There are many other variants including a hybrid that combines a gas-powered engine with an electric motor.
The Bottom Line
While both cars have a lot to offer drivers, the 2021 6-Series is a better vehicle than the 2021 E-Class Coupe. Handling and ride quality are two areas where the 2021 E-Class Coupe delivers a sub-par performance compared to the 2021 6-Series. Given that this category is all about performance, this weakens the case for the E-Class Coupe and makes the BMW a clear winner.
