Who wouldn’t want to own an Audi or a Mercedes-Benz? Such is the global reputation of these two car brands in the automobile industry. In this post, we will compare two great models by these brands, including Audi A4 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class
Design & Style
The 2019 Audi A4 is a 5-seater model with standard leather upholstery and 8-way power-adjustable heated front seats. The front seats are extremely comfortable, but the back seats are compromised in terms of space. The interior looks clean with soft-touch points, woody accents and top-notch materials, however, for the given price point, it could have been better.
The 2019 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is a 5-seater sedan with comfortable seats in both the rows and offering excellent side bolstering and great lateral support. There’s a decent amount of room in the rear seats, unlike other rivals. The interior features a classy cabin with real wood trim pieces adorning the center stack and doors. The leatherette upholstery looks opulent, while you can also switch to optional Nappa leather.
Technology & Safety
Standard tech features in the 2019 Audi A4 include the MMI infotainment system, *Bluetooth®, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Audi’s Virtual Cockpit is the key highlight of this model, while other tech upgrades include 19-speaker premium stereo, a navigation system, satellite radio and HD Radio. The standard system works well, although there’s a bit of learning curve here. Every A4 model comes standard with a rearview camera and Audi Pre Sense Basic including pedestrian detection, forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking.
The 2019 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is packed with the latest technology features, and the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto have been made standard in all the models, and you can use these as an alternative to regular controls. The menus are easy to navigate and you can get well-versed with the system within first use. There are plenty of safety features available with this model and some key highlights include driver drowsiness monitoring, rain-sensing windshield wipers and a rearview camera.
Performance
Speaking of performance, the 2019 Audi A4 comes with a turbo-four engine mated to a 7-speed auto transmission that can put out 188 HP. These numbers are not enough to impress a spirited driver, and you may want to explore options like the 2019 Mercedes-Benz C-Class which comes with a superior 255-HP 4-cylinder engine coupled with a 9-spee auto transmission. Not only does it offer stronger performance and smoother acceleration, but also scores high in terms of fuel efficiency.
The Bottom Line
The 2019 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is an amazing vehicle that combines athleticism with design and functionality. It has an extremely intuitive interface and a long list of features offered in the base model itself. In this luxury small car segment, C-Class does well to impress the critics.
