2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class vs. E-Class: Trims and Price
First, let’s take a look at the difference between the C-Class and E-Class in terms of pricing. Toronto drivers will find that the Mercedes-Benz E-Class price puts it in a league above the Mercedes-Benz C 300. It also comes in a number of trims that can offer significantly more elegant features and much sportier performance.
However, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class remains one of the most upscale sedans on the market, and its sole engine option is actually slightly more powerful than the E-Class base configuration. Compare prices below, and then we’ll take a look at the value each sedan offers for its price:
2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class

2022 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
