Pros Cons of Mercedes-Benz C-Class
Pros
- Stunning Looks & Design
- High On Features And Tech
- Offered In Both Petrol And Diesel Options
Cons
- Petrol Engine Feels Just About Adequate
- Second-Row Not Good For 3 Occupants
- Gets Faux Leather Seats Instead Of Real Leather
Verdict
The cabin of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class is more spacious. On the inside you certainly get a sense of the 'Baby S' tag, perhaps more than the outside, because of a superior material quality and design layout. The sense of luxury that you get is more heightened. The C-Class isn't still the best drivers' car - the BMW 3 Series has still got that covered. But in terms of style, space, luxury and comfort, the new C-Class is compelling and pushes the envelope far.
Pros Cons of BMW 5 Series
Pros
- Great Ride And Handling
- Gets Both Petrol And Diesel Options
- Premium Interior With Smart Features
Cons
- Petrol Trim Only Comes In One Variant
- Second-Row Not Good For 3 Occupants
- Cabin Design Looks A Bit Dated
Verdict
The 5 series continues to impress with its dynamic capabilities but a more contemporary face and tech laden cabin has made the car even more appealing than before. It starts at ₹ 62.90 lakh for the Petrol version while the 520d is priced at ₹ 63.90 lakh. Top of the line 530d will set you back by ₹ 71.90 lakh (all prices ex-showroom). It is going up against the likes of the recently launched Mercedes E-class, Audi A6 and Jaguar XF.
