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 3 Series

Pros

  • Performance
  • Exquisite Driving Dynamics
  • Comfortable Over Long Journeys

Cons

  • Low Ground Clearance
  • Lacks Boot Space
  • Lacks Second Row Leg Space

Verdict

The prices are competitive enough and BMW will like to believe that the lack of a credible rival at this stage will help it capture the compact premium sedan market. The premium car buyer in India will like that it retains its traditional strengths and yet gives a bit more by way of luxury and comfort, giving it a more all-rounder appeal than before. Expect to see a few of these on the roads - could have been more - had the automobile market not been badly hammered down as it were.
