BMW 330i Vs Mercedes-Benz C300 -

With this new 3 Series, BMW鈥檚 goal was to do two things; put it back on top of the segment and silence the criticism of fans. However, let鈥檚 be real. There was only one car BMW was taking aim at when designing this new 3er 鈥?the Mercedes-Benz C-Class. So has this new car beaten its main rival? That鈥檚 what Auto Bild attempted to find out. In this recent comparison, the BMW 330i took on the MercedesBenz C300. Both of those cars are the turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline variants of the 3 Series and C-Class, respectively. They鈥檙e also going to be the volume sellers, at least in the US market, but they鈥檙e not boring efficient versions. So it鈥檚 the right choice of cars for this comparison. Before we get into what Auto Bild thought, let鈥檚 take a look at each car. Both cars pack 2.0 liter turbocharged four-cylinder engines and 258 hp, which is interesting.

But the BMW 330i makes more torque, packing 295 lb-ft (400 Nm) to the C300鈥檚 272 lb-ft (370 Nm). Both also have automatic gearboxes as standard (eight-speed for the BMW and nine-speed for the Benz) and both cars are rear-wheel drive (both also come with all-wheel drive as an option). In terms of performance, the BMW 330i was quicker in every test. For the Bimmer, 0-100 km/h happened in 5.5 seconds, compared to the Benz鈥檚 6.0 seconds flat. It was also faster to 160 km/h and to 200 km/h. Its split from 60-100 km/h was also faster. So if you鈥檙e looking for performance, the BMW 330i is where you wanna be. However, if you want comfort, the C300 is the car for you. At least according to Auto Bild. In this comparison, the BMW 330i was knocked for having a jarring ride. While the Benz was said to be more comfortable and composed over choppy pavement. Though, in fairness, the BMW 330i was equipped with its stiffer, lower M Sport suspension for this test. Overall, it seems as if Auto Bild favored the C-Class. It鈥檚 the more well-rounded car in the test, in their eyes, while the BMW 330i is more of a sports car with a harder edge.

Remarkable durability - We do not need to emphasize this point too much; Mercedes Benz products are well known for their strength and durability. They are known for adapting to extreme and challenging weather conditions around the world, while still durable throughout the time of use. Good customer services - Just as we can see recently; Mercedes Benz showroom has its grand opening in Lagos. Same way they are spreading their service centers to major regions in all countries around the globe for the purpose of giving their customers the best satisfaction possible. This is undeniably a plus for them. Multi-purpose - They have produced so many cars with a wide range of engine configurations and body styles which makes them able to serve multiple purposes for individuals, organizations or groups. Distinct trademark - Apart from their unmistakable logo that stands out really well, there is always a perception of high class and luxury that comes whenever a Mercedes Benz vehicle is spotted.

With all that said, we will also like to recommend one or two things for Mercedes to upgrade in some of their vehicles. Fuel Economy - Some people will argue that the money for constant fueling shouldn鈥檛 be a problem for whoever could afford luxury vehicles like the Mercedes Benz products. But we will like to point out that most people buy the Tokunbo or Nigerian used Benz products. This means that they have lower pocket size but still desire the luxury that comes with the brand. So, in order to gain more popularity from the public audience, this brand should definitely look into improving the fuel consumption rate in their products. Overall pricing - Everyone would love to have a taste of the classy Mercedes Benz products, but not everyone can afford the current prices. This is why we will like to recommend that the brand improves on probably making some budget-friendly variants of their popular models or rather reduce the retail price of their products in some other ways. This will make more people patronize the brand. Yes, that will be all we have on this brand for now. After preparing the above-updated list on Mercedes C230 price in Nigeria, we realized that average citizens can now own this vehicle model, thanks to the massive availability of Tokunbo and Nigerian used units on market now. Nonetheless, we would still reckon that brand new Mercedes Benz products are costly and not so budget friendly. If you have read this piece from the beginning till the end, you are a true Mercedes Benz fan and a person of class. We hope you own one of the latest classy models from this brand soon.
