Comparison Review

Comfort
Due to its greater rear head- and legroom, backseat passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Chrysler 300 than the Mercedes-Benz C-Class. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Chrysler 300, drivers may find the Mercedes-Benz C-Class a little roomier and somewhat more comfortable.

Convenience
With the Mercedes-Benz C-Class you will definitely be making less frequent stops at the gas station than with the Chrysler 300, due to its tank size and fuel economy.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the Chrysler 300 will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.

Dimensions
The Chrysler 300 is about the same width as the Mercedes-Benz C-Class. If you go with the Chrysler 300, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.

Handling
The Chrysler 300 has a larger turning radius than the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Chrysler 300 is somewhat more powerful than the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.

Powertrain
With its lower torque, the Chrysler 300 doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Chrysler 300 and the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.
