There are so many new luxury cars coming out in 2022, and there are many reasons to be excited about them. The 2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class and the 2022 BMW i8 are worthy contenders and will be great additions to any new car fleet. However, when it comes down to it, which one is the best choice? That’s what we’re here to help you decide! As you’ll see, there are many different aspects to consider when choosing between the two cars.
When it comes to the 2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, you will get three exterior shades – white, black and grey. White and grey are calm while black is sporty. As for 2022, BMW 5 Series has two types of body color – red and white. Of course, neither of them looks out of style and what you choose depends on your preferences towards exterior design & style and your car’s position in their brand hierarchy.
Both of these luxury sedans are going to impress you inside and out. 2022 BMW released their fifth-generation sedan in 2021, improving almost every aspect of what was once one of our favorite vehicles in its class. The hatchback is just as impressive, featuring a cool design that attracts attention whenever it rolls down your street. Keep an eye out for future tech updates with either car, but so far, 2022 has seen big improvements on both of these vehicles!
While similar in size, these two premium cars differ when it comes to features. The 2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is a top safety pick with an impressive list of standard and optional advanced driver assistance systems, including high-beam assist, drowsiness monitor, and park assist. It is also one of three vehicles to earn an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ designation. In comparison, the 2022 BMW i8 offers less advanced driver assistance systems, but like its rival, it earns top crash test scores and a Top Safety Pick+ designation from IIHS.
The 2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class and 2022 BMW i8 both have 3.0L engines, which you will get in all top-of-range models of each vehicle line. But, looking at other technical specifications for these two units, we can see that the 2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class engine is much more powerful, especially in terms of torque output (450 lb-ft in 5 series vs. 375 lb-ft in 3 series). So it would be fair to say that performance won’t be an issue here as long as one will go for the basic unit; even then, acceleration and 0 – 60 mph speed are 2 significant benchmarks when comparing vehicles from same segment/class.
One of these two cars could be your daily driver, but only one offers a luxury experience that is second to none. The 2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class offers more tech, style, and pure driving pleasure; whereas, you’ll find better handling in a C-Class, although it’s not as refined as its German competitor. If you’re looking for an impressive luxury car or want something fun to drive every day, it may come down to picking a favorite exterior color or going with your gut. Either way, both vehicles are winners—and some still make them of today’s most legendary automakers.
