TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2019 BMW 7-Series is a flagship luxury sedan in the way they used to be: leather everywhere, big power, excellent options.

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz S-Class delivers effortless power, sublime handling, scads of safety features, and the incontrovertible impression of wealth, tastefully applied.

TCC Likes

Opulent luxury
Wide array of powertrains
Good standard safety equipment

Forceful, smooth powertrains
A true first-class seating experience
Attention to the finest details

TCC Dislikes

Nickel-and-dimed for smartphone compatibility
Short electric range (740e)
Very pricey options

Complex infotainment
The Maybach’s less distinct than in the past
Why not pay more?
