conti-man 2nd Gear June 22, 2016 Share June 22, 2016 MB released S320 a few month ago. BMW launched 730Li this month. These are scaled down/tuned down versions of their S400 and 740Li respectively. I think they both retain a 3 litre engine. Are the savings from S400 and 740Li respectively worth the while given the lower specs? Any comments on which is better? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audi2016 5th Gear June 22, 2016 Share June 22, 2016 If for better driving experience, I'd still stick to a base Porsche Panamera with its 3.6L V6. If only strictly between this two options, the S-class looks more iconic. I dunno what the 7 series design language is trying to get at so I can't appreciate that styling. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

inlinesix Hypersonic June 22, 2016 Share June 22, 2016 S class => u want to be driven 7 series -> u want to drive it S320 is V6 730 is 2L turbo. I have seen 730 In Beijing. Look for the 7 series folder. i have posted photo of it. Once open bonnet of 730, really CMI with the 4 pot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any comments on which is better?I'm not a fan of large cars, have driven both s class and 7 series I find the s class much easier to drive and guide around tight spots. also for this range of cars a factor to consider is the presence it commands, again subjective but s class also edges in this area. 7 series is more comfy though for the rear passengers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbon82 Moderator June 22, 2016 Share June 22, 2016 Although the 730Li come in 4 pot 2.0L form, the spec look pretty decent. Still can qualify for a $5K CEVS rebate! Engine Capacity: 1,998cc Max. Horsepower: 258hp @5,000 - 6,500rpm Max.

Anyone knows the different in specs between S400 and S320? S350 is diesel, we know. Although the 730Li come in 4 pot 2.0L form, the spec look pretty decent. Still can qualify for a $5K CEVS rebate!

S350 is diesel, we know. Why can't they do a 6 pot 2L engine like the old days? Would a 4 pot be as smooth to drive as a 6 pot? Because it's less efficient/higher consumption + heavier weight. Technology has moved on alot from the "old days" The amount of insulation on the new 7? you prob can't hear anything from the engine liao. (Handling on a new 7 with the lighter 4-pot will be pretty interesting too!) mercedes sux Edited June 22, 2016 by Mockngbrd 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon82 Moderator June 22, 2016 Share June 22, 2016 Yes, it is about efficiency and weight. The earlier generation Nissan Cefiro come in V6 2.0L and many have complained it is a drinker. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
