I am planing to buy a new car. Which of these are better relatively speaking in terms of privacy, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, or Audi? I can't buy old used cars. I have to buy a new car. I like new safety features but I don't want privacy invasive features, or subscription services.

Ask the dealership if it comes with internet connection. Simply don't buy if it does have it. Maybe those will be basic trims without safety features you otherwise want.
