The 2019 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is striking whether as a sedan, convertible, or as a coupe. The 2019 model year aims to flourish with a new engine, better safety gear, and fabulous styling.
For those who are on the lookout for a safe car to ride, it is not only the C-Class that is topping safety tests. One of the safest cars that you will ever come across is the 2020 Honda Insight. This efficient compact car is so promising that it deserves a comparison against the well-acclaimed C-Class.
The C-Class has one of the most beautiful car exteriors which is probably why visual updates were not prioritized for the 2019 model. One of the key changes that only made it look more sophisticated is the diamond pattern for the grille. Overall, the silhouette is the same but the real updates are best appreciated on the cabin. The interior is both elegant and indulgent with new trim choices available, including the coffee-colored wood trim.
The Insight has a nose and tail that is similar with the Accord and has creases on its body that is not as prominent as those in the Civic. There are graceful wheel arches to add some sophistication on the exterior. Inside the cabin are tasteful design cues that look subtle instead of being boastful.
The infotainment system of the C-Class does not disappoint as it received plenty of modern updates. The 10.25-inch display has crisp and clear graphics. The variety of ways to control the features is genius since not all people share the same preferences. There are touchpad controllers on the steering wheel, voice commands, and the traditional dials and buttons.
The Insight has a simple infotainment system that works sharp and is also quick to respond. It is now integrated with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto although there is no need for such because the physical shortcut buttons on the infotainment display are enough to control everything.
The 255 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque engine of the C-Class is adequate in delivering strong acceleration, responsive steering, and confident-inspiring braking.
The Insight significantly lacks a notable performance with its 151-hp combined power from the 1.5-liter engine and electric motor. It is not speedy and its acceleration will be frustrating if you are after an exciting car. One of the problems from its engine setup is that it sounds like its scrambling to deliver power when driving at low speeds.
Aside from poor performance, the 2020 Honda Insight played it safe in terms of styling and technology. These reasons made it look very inferior to the 2019 Mercedes-Benz C-Class. The C-Class is bold in appearance and it is able to hold its confidence with the interesting set of infotainment features and the impressive engine prowess.
