BMW i3 vs Mercedes C-Class: Which Is the BEST

BMW vs Mercedes. Among the most significant competitions in motoring is going electrical– and this might be among the most important executive automobile fights yet.

In this head-to-head, Nicola and Batch put the all-new BMW i3 up versus the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Electric to find out that makes the better premium electric saloon.

Both vehicles promise substantial ranges, seriously fast charging and efficiency that would have seemed amazing just a few years back. However they've taken really different approaches. BMW has reinvented its design and interior, while Mercedes has gone huge on luxury, screens and innovation.

We compare their styling, interiors, functionality, batteries, range, charging speeds, efficiency, driving experience and rates. And with the BMW offering up to 566 miles of variety and the Mercedes up to 452 miles, there's plenty to talk about.

So, has BMW kept the sporty character that made the 3 Series well-known? Can Mercedes deliver the more luxurious electrical executive cars and truck? And which one deserves your cash?
BMW i3 or Mercedes C-Class Electric– which would you pick? Let us know in the remarks.

    The BMW looks a bit like the 1996 Proton Persona.

      An AU review comment said 2002 Mitsubishi Magna. I think that’s closer.

      @SenthiuzYes, I can actually see the Magma, if I squint hard. Can’t see the Proton Persona at all.

    in a world where so many vehicles look the same, these two look soooo different, and that’s a good thing

      Merc looks like the previous outgoing i4 with an oversized Beaver tooth grill.

      I think they both look great! The grilles on both cars look much better in person too.

    It appears they have both gone back to what they used to be known for, BMW was always the drivers choice and the Mercedes was the posher/luxurious more comfortable to drive of the two.

    Good to see two vehicles that look like cars rather than SUVs! I do think Mercedes are going a bit ott with their lit up ‘stars’ all over the car. I like them both to be honest.

      Unique design is certainly refreshing to see! As for the stars- to each their own 🙂

    That Mercedes boot lid is a killer. Software update is required.

    I like both but the C/GLC frontends look great in person imho! Much better than on pictures. If anything their rears are a bit too safe.

    Love the exterior of the i3 but the interior of the C-Class, would be down to the test drives in the end. Popped downstairs for a cuppa half-way through this video and Ms Buckley was on the telly (ETTC!) god you guys are everywhere 😂
