I blew up a BMW, Audi & Merc: which lasted longest?

Change your car with Carwow:

It's time to find who develops the strongest engines – Audi, BMW or Mercedes!

We've got our hands on a traditional BMW 3 Series, Audi A4 and Mercedes C-Class, and having nearly driven them to destruction, we've decided to see which engine is the greatest!

So let's meet the contenders …

First up, the Audi A4. It's covered 129,000 miles and has a 2.0-litre inline four-cylinder petrol engine that makes 130hp & 195nm. That power goes to the front wheels via a five-speed handbook transmission.

Then there's the Mercedes C180. It's driven 126,000 miles and has a 1.8-litre inline four-cylinder engine with a supercharger. It puts out 141hp & 220nm. That power goes to the rear wheels by means of a six-speed manual transmission.

Then, lastly, there's the BMW 318i. It's covered 88,000 miles and has a 2.0-litre naturally aspirated inline four-cylinder engine that makes 140hp & 200nm. That power goes to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission.

The question is, which do you think will run the longest? Let us know in the remarks!

      You’re absolutely right. It’s the generation before that was at the peak. Not Euroncap wise, but for the rest. The generation in the video was the generation that drove of the cliff, Mercedes-Benz has been free falling since then.
