If you are on the hunt for a car that offers spirited performance and luxurious features, the 2019 Mercedes-Benz C-Class could be the right car for you. This mid-sized luxury vehicle packs a punch in a tidy package. This 2019 is its fifth model year and the years of receiving ample refinements made it among the top contenders in its segment.
Another car to see for the compact world is the 2019 Hyundai Veloster. This version is the second generation of its kind and has focused on giving feel-good features. how will it compete against the C-Class? Here is a short review to find out.
The C-Class comes in three variants and all of them have unique but attractive shapes and a classic appeal. The new architecture is applied to the exterior to make it look like a charming sedan. Excellent styling was also applied for its interiors. The inlaid metallic-like panels look premium, along with the large circular vents and the flowing center console.
The Veloster has a unique shape with its sporty roofline and a distinct extra door. Yes, it defied the norms and has three doors, one for the driver and two on the passenger side. This year’s model has a large grille, deep front fascia, tapered roofline, and flared wheel arches. The interior is very similar to the Hyundai Kona but is better executed in terms of layout and materials.
The C-Class has an intuitive COMAND® system for infotainment. It comes with different controllers that are fun to explore. Drivers can choose whether to use the convenient voice command feature or navigate the functions using either the touchpad or the roller knob.
The Veloster’s infotainment comes standard with a 7-ich display that can be upgraded for the 8-inch one. It sits at the center stack with a logically arranged HVAC and audio controls. There are standard USB ports and auxiliary inputs on top of the cubby that fits an iPhone X.
As a luxury car, the 2.0-liter engine of the C-Class is a joy to drive. It delivers up to 255 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque. High-performance models come with a stronger engine with the V8 on the C 63 S as the strongest at 503 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque.
The 1.6-liter, 201 hp engine of the Veloster is not noteworthy but it delivers a sporty drive. This is mainly because the car is so lightweight. It is also offered in a higher-performing version, the 2019 Veloster N, and can crank up to 275 hp.
The 2019 Hyundai Veloster is a unique car with its admirable design choices. Beyond the quirky 3-door feature, however, is a set of ordinary features that are too plain. This is very evident especially when it is put up against the 2019 Mercedes-Benz C-Class.
