Two of the most popular luxury cars are the 2015 Audi A4 and 2015 Mercedes-Benz C300. While both of these cars have some similarities, when you look closer at each vehicle, you’ll see that the C300 simply can’t match the quality, convenience, and value of the Audi A4.

Starting Price

Just because you are shopping for a luxury car doesn’t mean you have to spend your entire income. The 2015 Audi A4 is priced lower than the Mercedes-Benz C300 without the sacrifice of driving performance, convenience features, and stylish designs, making it more affordable to drive in luxury.

Excellent Features

All vehicles, but especially luxury sedans, should have a simple yet effective infotainment system. The Audi A4 delivers with an excellent supply of features, including an Audi music interface, a high-quality concert radio system with ten speakers, and a driver information center that gives you all the most important data. The Mercedes-Benz C300, however, has an infotainment system that has been sharply criticized by the automotive press. When reviewing the 2015 Mercedes-Benz C300, U.S. News and World report said that the C300 holds a “complicated infotainment system”, and The Car Connection said that the ““COMAND® infotainment continues to lag.” The same organization gave the 2015 Audi A4 a 10 out of 10 for features.

Interior Space

Finally, the Audi A4 lets you stretch out with more interior space. The front shoulder room in the A4 measures 55.5 inches, while the same measurement in the C300 is only 54 inches. The front head room is also an inch larger in the A4. If you plan on having rear-seat passengers or need backseat space for equipment, you will likely find the 2015 Audi A4 a better choice. The Audi A4 has a rear head room of 37.5 inches, compared to 35.5 inches in the Mercedes-Benz C300. Leg room is also over two inches more in the Audi A4, and second shoulder room is a full four inches more.
