I think it's mostly because base E-class comes with way smaller engine than base S-class, not to mention less standard equipment. When you start comparing apples to apples (say the 400 4MATIC variant for both cars), the price difference becomes suprisingly small.
- alkonaut 9y agoThe difference here in base price is 976k vs 576k for the same base spec (same driveline). The S is then probably better equipped so you could probably get closer if you specced the E up to S level. On the other hand the customers buying the S probably also throw in a 10-20% extra equipment. Funny that there is no overlap between engine choices for E/S in the US (smallest S is the 450 and E only exists as 300 or AMG)
