As two models focusing on the young consumer market, the new mercedes benz c Class and the new BMW 3 Series tend to be young and sporty in appearance. The new C-Class adopts the latest family-style design language of Mercedes-Benz, and provides two front face shapes: "big standard" and "vertical standard"; The design style of Mercedes-Benz S-Class continues from the star-studded polygonal air intake grille, long and narrow LED headlights and taillights, just like the "small S-Class".
The new 3 series also adopts the latest family design language. The classic "double kidney" air intake grille and angel eye headlights have been blackened, and the three-stage air intake below has a concave design, which makes the whole look more sporty and radical. Although both of them have obvious changes in appearance, the new 3 series is a small modified model of the year, so the change in appearance is not as amazing as the new C-class.

In terms of body size, the new C-Class are all long-axle models, with the body length, width and height of 4882/1820/141(1456) mm and the wheelbase of 2954mm respectively. The length, width and height of the new 3-series long-wheelbase version are 4829/ 1827/ 1463mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2961mm..
In contrast, the upgraded new C-Class obviously surpasses the 3 Series in length, but the new 3 Series will be slightly wider and higher, and the wheelbase will be longer, but these small differences can be basically ignored, and the space performance brought by it is basically at the same level.
Interior decoration
In terms of interior, compared with cash, the new C-class has changed obviously. The dual-screen design of the current model has been cancelled and replaced by the suspended full LCD instrument panel marked on the S-class model and the vertical central control large screen combination of 1 1.9 inches. It is also equipped with HUD head-up display system and 64-color atmosphere lights. The entire central control is decorated with piano black and a large chrome-plated frame. Integral interior. In addition, the new C-class central control has built-in second-generation MBUX intelligent human-computer interaction system, equipped with more than 40 APP software, which has more functions and stronger practicability. There are also some driver assistance systems, such as reversing images, lane keeping and automatic parking.
The interior of the new 3 series continues the design style of the current 3 series, which is much lower-key than the new C-class. The central control adopts the layout of 12.3-inch LCD dashboard+10.25-inch central control screen, and is equipped with intelligent man-machine service functions such as BMW intelligent personal assistant and Tencent mini-scene. In addition, the classic "drumstick" handle is retained, but in order to further enhance the sense of exquisiteness and luxury, the whole interior is decorated with chrome trim and bright black trim, which brings more beautiful visual effects.
In contrast, the interior design of the new C-class is better. Whether it is the creation of scientific and technological atmosphere, or workmanship and materials, it has maintained the highest level. Similar to the S-class styling layout, it is full of luxury and fashion, which makes people unforgettable; The interior design of BMW 3 Series is relatively conservative and calm, which did not bring much surprise.
motive power
The new C-class 1.5T engine is matched with 9AT gearbox, and a light mixing system of 1.5T+48V is also introduced. The maximum power of the low-power version is 125kW, and the maximum torque is 250n·m；; ; The maximum power of the high-power version is 150kW, and the maximum torque is 300 n m. ..
The BMW 3 Series is equipped with a 2.0T engine and is still divided into three versions of low, medium and high power. The maximum power of the low-power version is 1 15kW, and the maximum torque is 250n·m；; ; The maximum power of the medium power version is 135kW, and the peak torque is 300n·m；; ; The high-power version has a maximum power of 190kW and a peak torque of 400n·m, matching the 8AT gearbox.
In terms of parameters, the new C-class 1.5T engine is not worse than the low-power version of BMW 2.0T, but the performance of the new 3 Series with medium and high power is far better than that of mercedes benz c. In other words, as a 300,000-class B-class car, the core power of the new C-class has not changed substantially, and it seems too stingy to continue to use the 1.5T engine.
Generally speaking, both the new generation mercedes benz c Class and the new BMW 3 Series have strong market competitiveness in this market segment. Compared with the two, mercedes benz c has obvious advantages in interior design; The BMW 3 Series has better handling and performance. As for how to choose, it depends on personal needs. After all, turnips and cabbages have their own tastes.
