The 2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is a high-end vehicle that comes embellished with a wide array of opulent materials for its sides and surfaces. Its engine is just as luxurious with various potent engine choices readily available. How do you think the C-Class fares against the 2021 Lexus IS? We have prepared a comprehensive article below where you can be the judge of the comparison between these two opulent vehicles.
Design & Style
The Mercedes-Benz C-Class offers a world-class cabin that is a haven of luxury. It only chooses top-rated materials to line its sides and cover its surfaces without ever sacrificing on space or comfort. The car can seat up to five people on posh seats that are spacious and padded for those comfortable rides regardless of distance. Taller folks will also come to appreciate the C-class interior where leg- and headroom are present in a good amount.
The Lexus IS comes with five seats that can be accessed from the car’s four doors. Its front row seats are well-supportive and padded whereas leg- and headroom are adequate. The back row paints a different story with less comfortable seats and less room. Its interior style also does not look or feel impressive with a dated concept even with soft materials, wood, and synthetic leather.
Technology & Safety
