In response to some of those who are saying this video is bias or seems like a Jag commercial. The video was produced by Jaguar. In the beginning of the comparison video, Iain Belfore specifically states that he's a Jaguar Trainer. His sole purpose is to point out "how much better" the XF is than the E350.

I'll keep my E350

There is a two kind of cars in the World 1. Mercedes Benz 2. others ....

You’re trying to compare a fancy TATA with a FORD engine to a car made by the oldest car maker. That XF shown here is probably on a scrap heap now. My 2013 E350 Convertible still feels like a brand new car.

This just proves how perfect the E350 is!

E350 is much better than the jaguar

I used to had both , jag last with me for one week and Marc for 3 years exactly same models that you have here , its Jag Commercial 100/100

THE 5-series and E-class are simply on another level. Forget Jag even Audi (with the best exterior) is barely comparable. My uncle had this jag and at a mere 30k miles those "fancy" air vent motors failed. Rattle from the meridian speakers, failed shocks, and trunk sensor (trunk kept popping by itself) were all present at ONLY 50k miles.

xf interior is ugly. i prefer the mercedes and please stop making biased vidoes

This is actually a very very spot on review by the pro driver. I have the E350 sport model and getting comfortable in is a challenge. I've driven lots of cars, he was spot on about the lower seat not being low enough and the steering wheel. What I can say is this feels way more safe than the BMW Z3 I owned. It does have a heavy feel but I prefer that and it's pretty stable in the wet. We just got out of Winter so can't wait for winter tires.

I thought he was Going to purposely run over all the cones in the Mercedes when he did that test lol

Haha are you kidding me?? Merc is the symbol of modern and luxury cars there is only one king of beautiful and attractiv cars: German cars, all the rest is their imitation!

the people that buy a Merc dont want a sport car, want a car that looks like, but they like the smoothness, if wanted! they buy a BMW 5 series, the ultimate driving machine, not the imitation of the 5 series.

The XF is less reliable to be honest.

Those e class Mercedeses are so well made

Thanks, I love my E350 more than before

Seems more like a Jaguar XF commercial

How long do those motorized climate vents last before they quit working? Asking for a friend....

Lol! "Mercedes does not come standard with the Jaguar Handshake"

And I bet you that within a year that Jag will have lost half it's value..

Driving the 3.5 V6 smh try the 3.0l turbo Diesel that's where the Jaguar would be left in the dust 400TQ.

Hahahaha but the benz is way safer for my family

Don’t listen to a word from this guy. I have extensive experience with both cars and I’m here to testify. I had a 2014 Jaguar XF S luxury 3.0 diesel sedan. Worst car I’ve ever had. The Dunlop tyres that came with the car were under specced that the car lost traction easily on wet surface. I had to change all four tyres at my own cost at the first service. But the most annoying part is the DPF. It’s the filter diesel cars equip to trap dirty diesel fume. And because I do suburban driving mainly, the filter gets full very quickly. And when it’s full, the car restrict the engine output that the car can only travel around 40 km/ hour max and would take a minute to even reach that. That happened to me way too many times during peak hours. Your fellow road users must think you an idiot. Of course the car can only be towed back to the dealership to get fixed and that usually took a week or so. Given the car was purchased new and was still under warranty, the filter got replaced after 3 of those horrible events within a period of 6 months. The dealership advised me to take the car for a long drive on freeway every week to burn off the rubbish trapped in the filter which is ridiculous. Other people walk their dogs and I had to find time to “walk” my jaguar. Needless to say, I put the car on the market within 2 years of owning it and lost more than half of my money. Guess what, I had to replace both rear tyres to get the car roadworthy. What kind of car requires tyre changes every 15000km. I’m not a traffic light racer type and am driving my car almost conservatively. Still I’m happy to cut the loss by getting rid of this nightmare. I bought my wife a Mercedes S350 which is a diesel V6. We’ve had it for a year and still doing the suburban driving, never had that DPF problem. As for me, I’m driving my wife’s 2012 Mercedes E350 Estate. It’s older than the Jaguar XF but is so much a better car. It gets serviced every 12 months at the dealership and is solid like a rock.

Well thats made my mind up....its the mercedes for me

Love to see a comparison like this made by Mercedes ;)

Reaching ur hand to touch screen is safe. hmmm.... MB aren't stupid

Lol biased or what, at the end of the day the merc has the name and looks. End of

He is right i have both. Xf wins on ALL counts.

I dont know how I got here, but I'm glad I did because I get to see lots of people here on the comments cry over things that are obvious.

Biased As Hell Why Did I Watch It

and they didnt mention the safety ratings. XF is only 4 star, Mercedes is 5 star

I'm just putting it out there that the 2012 updated Mercedes E350 was in the top 3 or even #1 in it's category for best mid size luxury sedan. This video is Biased AF.

E class is the best seriously

360p tho???

How does MB get away with not having leather standard? Rip off.

They should have done the face lift model way more power

Yet... more people still buy mercedes and bmw instead of the jag, "the best car in its class"... lol... what a fail comparison...

Jag has supercharger. Not fair at all. He says that this steering takes too much effort for the MB but he seems very relaxed. Lies! If you look, the jag is slimmer and also has the same body roll as the Merc. Supercharged cars we all know have a lot of torque. The merc is NATURALLY ASPERATED, No wonder everyone doesn't like this review in the comments and dislikes. He said the tires squeal on the merc. However 14:45.

Lol you don't need to be in both cars. You can tell just looking at this video the jag has inferior low quality interior and the mercs are always known to be over engineered cars

E350 has the same 0-60

Mercedes Benz : while driwing in slalom dont forget to pu it in sport susspension mode to get more speed in turns it seemed to be in comfort mode that is the reason that mercedes benz loses speedin slalom and talking accelaration 0-60 this is a 2009-2010 E350 with 231-HP not a 2012 E350 with 265-HP. So put it in sport transmission mode (Beast MODE) than u will see W.T.F is the Mercedes BEAST Benz CDI

He also knocks down the 7th cone at 12:08 wit the Jag....imagine if those were real people... :(

The jaguars have all exploded by now

The Jag only has a broader choise of powertrains than the E-class in America.. In Denmark the E-class is avalible with 5 Diesels and 6 Petrol engines.. Just saying :)

I'd take both of these amazing automobiles!

No Comment, Lol funny comparison between the No.1 MB and No.2 others

and oh wow, I had paused to leave my last comment. The accuracy of this man 🤯 literally, literally last night I ran over a raccoon. Now I wasn't driving the Mercedes but the 2018 Camry has the same slow turning. Sorry raccoon 🦝 😔 but it was deep fog in my defense and he literally ran back into the road instead of continuing out of danger 😥

I'm too tired to search through the board to see if anyone mentioned and KNOWS this a Ford that has a Jag emblem on it. You should have tested it through the cones multiple times - at some point within minutes it's going to break down (it is a Ford). Even the countrymen from where Jaguar was born agree they are terrible cars. Since you point out performance is key in the cars you produce, let's see where the Kitty comes out VS Audi or BMW. Matter of fact, get a driver anyone has heard of. If you want REAL world recognition, let Top Gear UK run your car. They abuse the Jag brand on a regular basis for a reason. Until I saw this spectacular video, I didn't even know Jag still existed. Can't wait to buy one. I bet re-sale is fantastic. I'm pretty certain marketing set you in the direction they wanted, but few buy an E-class for performance. It is a luxury car, not a performance car. Crazy part is, the E-class you just shown is a luxury car that does what yours does - much more comfortably. Based on your records for 1 second less? Who gets docked for showing up to work 1 second later? - The one that drives a Ford. Pretty easy decision on what to buy. Thank you for this video. Luxury car buyers want a comfortable ride that is reliable. If they wanted a fun machine, BMW and Audi would clearly win (and thus not reviewed). Lastly, negative marketing only works on negative people. Have fun with your market share. Performance has put Jag at the top of line for sure.... What is it you drive?

videos*

jags are awful I owned one never again

Omg biased much? Lol I'll take the Benz thanks

Mercedes Lo Mejor !

Yes because this is how I drive to the store and pick up my kids

Out of this current generation (and I am aware an all new not just refreshed e class will follow in a year or 2) the 5 series has all the bases covered better than most interior quality second only to a6, looks on a par with xf, handling the best and performance in most cooking versions 520d vs 220cdi or a6 2.0l tdi and the xf 2.2 diesel the 5 comes out on top as goes for the V6 diesels 535d vs the equivalents. The xf is a stunning looking car but the interior quality this guy goes nuts over masked by the leather topped dash is generally poor the plasticky buttons the cheap feeling steering wheel the non supportive standard seats. This is an extremely biased review. Sure it was a good car when launched against the e60 5 and previous a6 but things have moved on.

Mines is RWD

Not talking about Benz just jag

so let me correct this old blind racist man: 1-the E-Class does have that interior for numerous reason...mainly explained by getting inside a 2003 jaguar 2-the COMAND system is more easier to understand and operate during driving and stationary...i don't have to reach my hand to touch a blacked-out screen for music only to find that i accidentally opened the navigation 3-yes the E350's engine in the new models stayed the same but the problem was in the gearbox and the facelift model adressed the issue 4-E63 AMG Sport engine produces 550 ponies and 531 lb-ft of twist and a Dyno test showed that it produces MUCH more than that 5-yes it has some issues when we over-look the fact that THIS IS a 2008 E-Class...the 2013 model is absolutely more charming than the jag 6-the XF Diesel model Does not have a Common-Rail system(in humans language:the engine will blow itself at 150000+kms) 7-a mercedes never loose it's value in second hand market compared to jags and to sum it all up: www.mercedes-benz.com www.jaguar.com and you tell me which offer the best online customer service

But the question remains... wich one can actually make it home from the dealership... without having to get towed back to the dealership??? My moneys on the merc... for as sexy as thy are, jaguars are HORENDOUS peices of sh!t you guys should do something about that!!!

The jaguar is amazing to drive had a merc and never again to many problems, jaguar Aston Martin and land rover are all connected so they no how to make the highest class and quality cars there is anyone who says they're scrap hasn't a clue

this e class is 2009 model .....hhhhhhhhhh i ask you to watch e class 2013 model

They’re trying to pass off a natural jalopy as a good car. Its shows how desperate they are.

I like the exterior of this generation's XF but not the interior.. it sucks.. both mercedes and XF sucks.. both of them r so old....but between XFRS and E63, I would choose the E63, but everything under it, like between XF3.0 and E350, OR E550 with XF Supercharge, i'll choose the XF..AMG is a big big difference. on the other hand all jags can turn off all the electronic system while in the mercedes, u cant.

The interior of this E 350 looks cheap. Toyota has more luxury than this.

Truth is i have a 2013 xf and i love it ,, its really pretty inside and out ... I had a choice between an e class and the jag and bmw 5 series and audi a6 ... The e class and audi a6 looks like a taxi to be honest ... The only reason i ddnt buy a 5 series cuz my brother has one ..

bro is so bias just review the car normally

Many wrong details about the Benz. First of all the E350 in the video is not the 302 HP as stated. The Benz in the video is the pre-2012 which is the 268HP with 258lb ft. The 2012+ E350 will definitely outperform the Jaguar especially in terms of engine performance. Many tunings and upgrades were applied to the 2012+ Also, BLUE EFFICIENCY does not mean it’s a Diesel engine, you are confusing it with BLUETEC.

Blah Blah blah

I think this comparison is stupid as well.......

Very one sided 😂

Mercedes is built better Jaguars are trash

Knob

Lol
