2018 Mercedes-Benz C-Class vs. 2017 BMW 3 Series

Driving a luxury sedan like the 2018 Mercedes-Benz C-Class or the 2017 BMW 3 Series is a true thrill. However, the experience is far more upscale in the Mercedes-Benz model, because of facets like:

• Powerful engine options
• A lower starting MSRP of $44,700
• Luxe features like a sunroof and 10-way power front seats

To further explore the superior features of the new Mercedes-Benz, tour the C-Class sedan inventory at Mercedes-Benz Kitchener-Waterloo in Kitchener, ON.

Price

The 2018 C-Class projects strength and style, yet is priced to be accessible to more Guelph-area drivers. The MSRP begins at $44,700 – this means you can access luxury for less than the competition. The 2017 3 Series, on the other hand, has a much more expensive barrier to entry with a starting MSRP of $48,350.

Performance

Both the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class and the BMW 3 Series come standard with a turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder engine, but it feels a lot stronger on the Mercedes-Benz model because it produces 273 lb-ft of torque compared to the 258 lb-ft offered by the BMW. Drivers who want peak performance also have the option to equip the C-Class with a biturbo 4.0L V8 engine, which produces 503 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. In the 3 Series, the power ratings do not rise above 320 hp and 330 lb-ft of torque.

Features

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz C-Class comes standard with a sunroof, as well as 10-way power front seats with four independent lumbar-support settings so you’ll always be comfortable when traversing Waterloo. It also comes with a 7-inch display screen controlled with a unique central dial that makes access less distracting and more intuitive. The 2017 BMW 3 Series costs more to start, yet it does not come with a sunroof, has less upscale seats, is equipped with a 6.5-inch touchscreen, and does little to improve upon the infotainment experience.
