The 2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is at the top of the luxury small car rankings. This is because of its dependable set of technology and safety features, as well as its upscale cabin. Coming with heated front seats, there is certainly a lot to like in this vehicle.
For the 2022 Lexus LC, expect that there is a posh interior that guarantees a smooth ride for its users. When compared to the C-Class, this one is less sporty, though.
Design & Style
There are two seating configurations for the 2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class depending on the model that you order. Cabriolet and coupe versions seat four, while the four-door sedan seats five. The ride also guarantees comfort for all users, regardless if they are tall or short. Entry and exit to and from the ride are not problematic. The interior has top-notch quality materials with a sporty exterior that you can boast to bystanders.
The 2022 Lexus LC has four seats for its users. There is plenty of room in front, but the rear seats do not have that same configuration. That area is cramped that adults will complain about the legroom at the back. The cabin has some of the high-quality elements that you want, but it is not as luxurious as the one you will find in the C-Class.
Technology & Safety
The 2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class combines a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster with its 10.25-inch touch screen interface. It flawlessly integrates both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, while also performing functions for the HD radio, five speakers, Wi-Fi hot spot, and Bluetooth® interface. Other standard features are the sunroof, proximity keyless entry, and dual-zone climate control. Its long list of safety features includes blind spot monitoring, rearview camera, forward collision warning, and pedestrian detection.
The LC, on the other hand, uses a 10.3-inch display that is partnered with a problematic touchpad controller. It takes time getting used to the entire interface. The track pad for the Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are not praiseworthy as well. Safety features for the vehicle include forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, rear cross traffic alert, and pedestrian detection.
Performance
The 2022 C-Class gives car buyers in Huntington four engine choices. It has a 255-horsepower turbo-four as well as a twin-turbo V6 that can yield up to 385 horsepower. The other two engine choices have the V8 which can rate at 469 horsepower and 503 horsepower.
The LC, on the other hand, uses an engine that can aspirate 354 horsepower, with a V8 that reaches 471 horsepower. These numbers are not really that impressive especially when you step on the brakes and feel how sluggish they perform.
The Bottom Line
The C-Class is a handsome and sporty car with all the dependable features that you are looking for. It has an exemplary engine performance as well. This makes the 2022 Lexus LC a loser in this battle.
