2024 Mercedes-Benz C-Class vs. BMW 3 Series

The luxury sport sedan segment is fiercely competitive, with many worthy contenders trying for pole position. The 2024 Mercedes-Benz C-Class and the 2024 BMW 3 Series are two of the segment leaders and perennial rivals. While both offer impressive performance, cutting-edge technology, and refined interiors, Mercedes-Benz of Owings Mills will show you how the 2024 Mercedes-Benz C-Class offers several advantages.

Power and Performance

The varied and versatile line of the 2024 Mercedes-Benz C-Class vehicles offers a range of powertrain options. The base engine is a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder turbocharged engine with mild hybrid drive that offers an impressive blend of power and efficiency. It cranks out 255 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. Looking at the 2024 BMW 3 Series, the comparable base powertrain is also a mild hybrid that cranks out 255 horsepower, but it’s not as efficient as the Mercedes-Benz sedan, which achieves an EPA-estimated 26 miles per gallon city vs. 24 miles per gallon city.

Moving to the higher end of the lineup, the Mercedes-AMG® C 43 has a turbocharged inline-six engine cranking out 402 horsepower. Though an upgraded six-cylinder engine is also available on the 2024 BMW 3 Series, its output is a lower 386 horsepower.

Technology and Entertainment

While both these luxury sedans have technology that aims to entertain and inform, the 2024 Mercedes-Benz C-Class has a few features that you will not find on the BMW sedan. One standout exclusive feature is the MBUX® Augmented Video for Navigation. This feature uses live imagery from a forward-facing camera on the central display to superimpose useful information such as street names, house numbers, and guiding arrows on a real-time view of the surrounding environment.
