Safety

Both the Luce and EQE Sedan have child safety locks to prevent children from opening the rear doors. The Luce has power child safety locks, allowing the driver to activate and deactivate them from the driver's seat and to know when they're engaged. The EQE Sedan’s child locks have to be individually engaged at each rear door with a manual switch. The driver can’t know the status of the locks without opening the doors and checking them.

The Ferrari Luce has standard driver and front passenger side knee airbags mounted low on the dashboard. These airbags help prevent the driver and front passenger from sliding under their seatbelts or the main frontal airbags; this keeps them better positioned during a collision for maximum protection. Knee airbags also help keep the legs from striking the dashboard, preventing knee and leg injuries in the case of a serious frontal collision. The EQE Sedan doesn’t offer a front passenger side knee airbag.

To provide maximum traction and stability on all roads, Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive is standard on the Luce. But it costs extra on the EQE Sedan.

The Ferrari Luce’s 360 degree parking monitor has integrated front and rear camera washers, ensuring clear, all-weather visibility without the need for manual cleaning. In contrast, the Mercedes EQE Sedan lacks camera washers, requiring you to manually clean the cameras for optimal performance.

Both the Luce and the EQE Sedan have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, driver knee airbags, front seat center airbag, side-impact head airbags, front and rear seatbelt pretensioners, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, post-collision automatic braking systems, daytime running lights, lane departure warning systems, blind spot warning systems, around view monitors, rear cross-path warning and driver alert monitors.

Tires and Wheels

For better traction, the Luce has larger tires than the EQE Sedan (F:265/35R23 & R:315/30R24 vs. 255/40R20).

The Luce’s 265/35R23 front and 315/30R24 rear tires provide better handling because they have a lower 35 series front and 30 series rear profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the EQE Sedan’s standard 40 series tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Luce has standard 23-inch front and 24-inch rear wheels. Smaller 20-inch wheels are standard on the EQE Sedan. The EQE Sedan’s largest wheels are only 21-inches.

Suspension and Handling

The Luce offers an available active suspension system, which counteracts cornering forces actively, limiting body roll and improving handling and stability. Mercedes doesn’t offer an active suspension on the EQE Sedan.

For better handling and stability, the track (width between the wheels) on the Luce is 2.1 inches wider in the front and 2.4 inches wider in the rear than the average track on the EQE Sedan.

Chassis

The Ferrari Luce may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs about 350 to 550 pounds less than the Mercedes EQE Sedan.

The Luce uses computer-generated active noise cancellation to help remove annoying noise and vibration from the passenger compartment, especially at low frequencies. The EQE Sedan doesn’t offer active noise cancellation.

Passenger Space

For enhanced passenger comfort on long trips the Luce’s rear seats recline. The EQE Sedan’s rear seats don’t recline.

Cargo Capacity

A standard locking glovebox keeps your small valuables safer in the Luce. The EQE Sedan doesn’t offer locking storage for small valuables.

Ergonomics

Heated windshield washer fluid is standard on the Luce to defrost the washer nozzles and quickly clear ice and frost from the windshield without scraping. Heated windshield washer fluid costs extra on the EQE Sedan.

The Luce has standard front air conditioned seats and offers them optionally in the rear. This keeps the passengers comfortable and takes the sting out of hot seats in summer. The EQE Sedan doesn’t offer air-conditioned seats in the rear.

Both the Luce and the EQE Sedan offer optional massaging front seats. The Luce also offers optional massaging rear seats in order to maximize comfort and eliminate fatigue on long trips. Massaging rear seats aren’t available in the EQE Sedan.

The Luce is equipped with both FM and AM stereo radios, offering access to more content and better coverage than the EQE Sedan, which solely provides FM radio. With AM radio, you can enjoy a wider variety of stations featuring news, talk shows, sports commentary, native language programing, automated traffic guidance, and emergency broadcasts. AM waves travel further and penetrate buildings and obstacles more effectively than FM signals, especially at night. Having both FM and AM stereo radios the Luce offers a more comprehensive listening experience compared to only FM in the EQE Sedan.

HD Radio boasts several benefits over conventional radio: superior sound quality with clearer and consistent FM broadcasts, CD-quality audio, and Multicast Channels offering up to four streams from a single station, adding programming choices. Cars like the Luce equipped with HD Radio provide an improved in-car entertainment experience. The EQE Sedan, devoid of this technology, foregoes these benefits. Selecting the Ferrari Luce empowers drivers to enjoy a more immersive and enjoyable listening experience while on the go.

The Luce has a 115-volt a/c outlet in the cargo area, allowing you to recharge a laptop or run small household appliances without special adapters that can break or get misplaced. The EQE Sedan doesn’t offer a house-current electrical outlet.
