Compare the Mercedes-Benz C-Class to the Lexus ES
Not All Luxury Sedans are Created Equal

Drivers seeking impeccable driving performance with a premium, opulent feel turn to the luxury sedan. But, not every sedan can offer the same experience or the same satisfaction. So, to help you narrow down your options in Durham, Chapel Hill, Morrisville, and Hillsborough, NC, we've compiled a friendly competition to compare the stunning new Mercedes-Benz C-Class to the rival Lexus ES. Explore what each has to offer, and if you have questions, feel free to ask.

Power & Performance:

What's the point of driving a luxury sedan in Durham or Chapel Hill if it has no bite to it? Don't settle for limited options or limited power when you could have a strong variety and gripping capability.

• The Mercedes-Benz C-Class offers two distinct engine options to cater to your driving passion. The 2.0L four-cylinder boasts the sporty, thrilling execution of a turbo, while the 329-horsepower biturbo V6 out-classes many competing V8 engines. The Lexus offers a 268-hp 3.5L V6 and... well, that's it.
• It also features available 4MATIC all-wheel drive to give you the utmost confidence in less-than-savory weather, as well as providing exceptional handling on all roads. This is how driving was meant to be.

Comfort & Convenience:

"Luxury" is its middle name for a reason. The Mercedes-Benz C-Class offers more standard and available features than the Lexus ES sedan, bolstering the sheer pleasure of driving a luxury sedan.

• In the cabin, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class offers genuine wood trim in the center floor console, doors, and instrument panel, for an earthy, sophisticated feel. The Lexus places trim on only the steering wheel and shift knob--at request--to try to add elegance to an otherwise drag interior.
• Standard features include front power headrests, memory seats, and lumbar support for driver and passenger. The Lexus ES offers only available memory seat options. If you're looking for a supremely comfortable ride, it would seem that the Lexus has been outmatched.

Design & Style:

From the first moment that you lay eyes on the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, you'll notice an aura of excellence, and a strong sense of exhilaration, even before you get behind the wheel. Mercedes-Benz has been crafting some of the world's best vehicles for 90 years--and it's learned a thing or two about creating a truly beautiful car.

• Every inch of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class' redesigned cabin is purposefully arranged and placed to not just make a gorgeous environment, but to conceive an entirely new driving ambiance. The Lexus ES seems almost generic by comparison.
• The Mercedes Benz C-Class sedan features a body rich with flowing lines and solid-yet-delicate curves. The Lexus ES would appear to still be in its awkward, teenage stage, with boring side panels and an uninspired design.
• Face-to-face, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class features a bold, aggressive countenance with the assurance of decades of perfection--the Lexus ES utilizes odd angles to mimic intimidation.
