Compare Lexus ES 350 vs. Mercedes C 300

KEY WINS FOR ES 350 AGAINST THE C 300

POWERFUL AND REFINED

The strong yet refined V6 engine in the ES 350 pumps out 47 more horsepower on regular fuel than the C 300’s four-cylinder engine does burning premium fuel. That can provide significant  estimated fuel savings of 20–25* cents saved per gallon, which can really add up over the lifetime of ownership.  If you are looking for a vehicle for your daily commute from home in Bucks County to work in Philadelphia, those fuel savings could be quite significant.

SAVINGS OVER TIME

The Lexus ES offers historically better overall value than the Mercedes-Benz C 300.  The true bottom line of ownership is more than purchase price or monthly payment. With a convincing win in 5-year estimated ownership costs, the Lexus ES is the obvious better investment.

SAFETY COMES STANDARD

Safety comes standard on the Lexus ES 350.  The ES includes the Lexus Safety System+ 2.0 as standard equipment for maximum peace of mind.  To achieve top safety protection on the Mercedes C 300 it will come at a substantial extra cost. The Driver Assistance Package costs an extra $1,700, which also requires purchasing their Premium Package at $1,500, and their Multimedia Package at $1,250.

ROOM FOR MORE

Headed for a weekend trip to the Jersey shore, the Poconos, or taking a flight from the Philadelphia airport?  Whether you are driving down the Pennsylvania Turnpike or I-95, your passengers will rejoice in the spacious rear seat.  The ES 350 features 4.0 more inches of legroom and almost an inch of additional headroom than the C 300. The ES 350 also accommodates more luggage than the C 300 with its larger trunk.

LONGER WARRANTY

Lexus knows that purchasing a vehicle is an important investment.  A warranty offers assurance and the ultimate peace of mind in that investment.  The ES 350 features a 6-year or 70,000-mile powertrain warranty for the engine and driveline. The C 300 has a much shorter, 4-year or 50,000-mile powertrain warranty.

PREMIER AUDIO

Anyone with an appreciation for amazing music will notice the remarkable sound quality of the ES’s available Mark Levinson® Pureplay Premium Surround Sound Audio System with 17-Speakers, 12-channels, and 1,800-watts.   The C 300’s available Burmester Surround Sound System only features 13-speakers, 9-channels, and 590-watts .
