2018 Mercedes-Benz C-Class vs. 2018 Mercedes-Benz E-Class

Let’s first start by comparing base trim MSRP along with available body styles. The new Mercedes-Benz C-Class offers an approachable price point, and it’s available in three different body styles:

• 2018 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe – $43,200 MSRP
• 2018 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Sedan – $40,250 MSRP
• 2018 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Cabriolet – $51,200 MSRP

However, if you’re looking for a higher standard of luxury interiors or an available wagon body style, the E-Class might be a better choice:

• 2018 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe – $58,900 MSRP
• 2018 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Sedan – $52,950 MSRP
• 2018 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet – $66,300 MSRP
• 2018 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Wagon – $63,050 MSRP

While the new C-Class costs less than comparable E-Class models, you’ll still enjoy the following luxury features in both:

• Dual-Zone Auto Climate Control
• Power-Adjustable Front Seats
• Simulated Leather Seating
• Automatic Windshield Wipers

On hot days in Tempe, dual-zone automatic climate control will come in handy. It lets you set different temperatures for the driver and front passenger. While there’s significant overlap in features, the E-Class includes the following high tech features you won’t find if you choose the C-Class:

• 12.3″ Touchscreen
• Apple CarPlay
• Android Auto
• Touchpad Controller
