What’s the difference between C-Class and E-Class models when it comes to your next Mercedes-Benz sedan, and which one is the better choice for your Wilsonville travels? What Mercedes-Benz is the most reliable and which offers the luxuries that you want? We’re here to help! No matter which Mercedes-Benz vehicle you choose, you’ll be treated to top-notch engineering and world-class performance. However, the two vehicles have their own unique personalities and style that appeal to different drivers. Take a look at the Mercedes-Benz C-Class vs. E-Class interior dimensions, price, and more to find your match.
 

Mercedes-Benz C-Class vs. E-Class: Price

Right off the bat, you might notice that the C-Class vs. E-Class price points are different. The C-Class has a lower starting price of $41,400* MSRP, while the E-Class starts at $54,050* MSRP. That’s a difference of over $12,000 on base models alone. But, consider what you want out of your vehicle in Vancouver. The E-Class offers five different trims with several body styles and higher output engine options. The C-Class only has four trims, but offers a wagon build. And of course, both offer the high-end AMG® options as well, so the C-Class vs. E-Class price is just one small component of the decision.
