Differences Between the 2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class and 2022 Audi A4

German-manufactured luxury sedans represent the epitome of automotive class and performance and the Mercedes-Benz C-Class will outperform its counterpart in this 2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class vs 2022 Audi A4 comparison.

The Mercedes-Benz C-Class promises an athletic performance when you get behind the wheel and it is built around a 255-horsepower 2.0-liter Biturbo four-cylinder engine that manufactures 295 pound-feet of torque. An innovative 48-volt mild hybrid EQ Boost system will provide bursts of power with up to 20 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque. Paired with a responsive nine-speed automatic transmission, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class is expected to improve its fuel economy in comparison to its predecessor. Mercedes-Benz C-Class models will sprint from zero to 60 mph in 5.9 seconds.

Audi A4 models cannot compete with the Mercedes-Benz C-Class with a standard 201-horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that is married to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and the Audi quattro® all-wheel drive system. The Audi A4 will upgrade performance with an available 261-horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that still will not match the Mercedes-Benz 2.0-liter Biturbo four-cylinder with EQ Boost.
