Bold and Impressive Design Leaves a Lasting Impression
The 2020 Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan is stunning with an eye-catching, sporty design, and a sumptuous interior. The exterior is bold with sleek, aerodynamic lines and standard multi-element LED headlamps that are as functional as they are striking.
The 2020 Mercedes-Benz C-Class comes standard with 18-inch alloy wheels. But you can make your vehicle uniquely yours and choose from seven other available wheel styles, including five AMG® designs.
Completely elevate your style and choose a model from the AMG line and your arrival is bound to impress. The signature AMG bodywork, wheels, and the distinguished diamond-block grille will take your breath away. Add a little more intrigue to your ride with the available Night Package with black-gloss elements.
When you sit in the driver seat of the 2020 C-Class, it is obvious that athletic and refined have been perfectly blended. Beautiful accents and hand-finished wood trim are hallmarks of the Mercedes-Benz interior. Indulgent luxuries such as heated and ventilated seats, ambient lighting options to suit your mood, superior audio, and power front seats are thoughtfully implemented. Every driver and passenger comfort has been anticipated and delivered to ensure a near-perfect driving experience.
Comparing the 2020 Mercedes-Benz C-Class vs BMW 3 series, we find these German luxury cars at the top of their class. Boasting a likewise athletic design, the BMW 3 Series is without a doubt a contender and has helped shape the evolution of sports sedans. Sleek lines, bold tire options, and color choices give this luxury vehicle its iconic look.
Inside the 2020 BMW 3 Series you’ll find polished accents, comfortable seats, and impressive technology. In our opinion, however, it doesn’t quite match the elevated level of the C-Class. There is just something to be said for the high-end German design and engineering you’ll find in the 2020 Mercedes-Benz C-Class.
Power and Performance in a German Sports Sedan
Agile on the road with precise handling and power in every turn, the 2020 C-Class delivers the performance you’re looking for. With turbo power and nine speeds, this sports sedan was engineered for a driving experience that is powerful and poised.
Easily navigate city blocks and gracefully merge onto the highway with multi-link suspension, invented by Mercedes-Benz engineers. The twin-scroll turbo engine unleashes 255-horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque, taking you anywhere you need to go, with gusto. Using less fuel to get to this force, the C-Class also gives you added efficiency to optimize performance.
The 9-speed transmission provides incredible handling for a smooth ride and deftly harnesses the power of the engine. Take charge of your ride with shift paddles to go from relaxed driving to more dynamic modes. Choose Dynamic Select with a push of a console button to dig into your performance. Four pre-set shift modes allow you to control throttle response, shift patterns, steering precision, and more, so you can customize your drive to fit your mood.
Switching gears to the BMW 3 Series, you’ll find a 2.0L TwinPower Turbo engine with 8-speed automatic transmission. Delivering comparable 255-horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, you do get a dynamic driving experience in the BMW 3 Series. But it’s hard to challenge nine speeds and at least five driving modes from behind the wheel of a Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan!
