You don’t have to break the bank to enjoy a luxury vehicle — and the 2019 C 300 Sedan and 2020 BMW 330i prove it. So, which of these two premium five-seaters is the right pick for San Jose and Milpitas drivers? Fletcher Jones Motorcars of Fremont has the answer! We’ve compiled a comprehensive comparison of the Mercedes-Benz C 300 Sedan vs. BMW 330i Sedan to help you choose.
| 2019 Mercedes-Benz C 300 Sedan | VS | 2020 BMW 330i Sedan |
|---|---|---|
| 9-speed automatic | Transmission | 8-speed automatic |
| Standard | Crosswind Assist | Feature Not Offered |
| Optional | Cooled Front Seats | Feature Not Offered |
| Standard | Apple CarPlay® | Feature Not Offered |
| Standard | Android Auto™ | Feature Not Offered |
A turbocharged 2.0L inline-four engine, selectable drive modes, and high-performance 17-inch wheels come as standard on both the 2019 Mercedes-Benz C 300 and the 2020 BMW 330i. Still, Newark drivers will find the BMW 330i lacks the gears and smooth transitions of the C 300. The C 300 sports a standard 9-speed automatic transmission while the 330i comes with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
Despite their entry-level statuses, the C 300 and 330i win drivers over by offering ample luxuries for their respective price-tags. Driver memory settings, split-folding rear seats, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel are just a few of their shared features. If you’re shopping for a sedan you can optimize with add-ons, though, you’ll likely be more impressed with the C 300. Two of its options include:
Safety takes precedence in the 3-Series and C-Class Sedans. Front and side airbags, keyless entry, traction and stability control, and telematics are standard. The C 300 also comes with driver assists and a couple systems that aren’t available for the 330i, such as Crosswind Assist. Taking information from the vehicles Electronic Stability Program (ESP®), the system will work to keep the vehicle on course in Newark when hit with a strong lateral wind while traveling at highway speeds.
Although the 2020 BMW 330i is a great sedan, it can’t match the 2019 Mercedes-Benz C 300 Sedan’s specs and equipment. Contact us at Fletcher Jones Motorcars of Fremont to schedule a test drive of the C 300 today and to see how it matches up to the E 300!
