The 2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class boosted a lot of the features that its predecessor used to offer. It now comes with an optional all-wheel drive feature, plus it also gets more power for its turbo-four engine; thanks to a hybrid system that powers it.
The 2022 Genesis G70 positions itself as one of the best luxury small cars out there. This is because of its posh interior and the addition of a powerful V6 engine in its list. Are these enough for it to topple down the C-Class? Let us find out.
Design & Style
There is a lot to look forward to when it comes to the design and style of the C-Class. The ride has standard luxury features like heated front seats, aluminum accents, open-pore wood, and a sunroof. Add to that, there is also the promise of providing more legroom at the back of the car, owing to the fact that the wheelbase is made longer with the addition of 2.5-inches for its length.
The 2022 G70 is designed with softy leather surfaces, but it is best to go for higher trims (for an additional investment) if you want a more luxurious feel to your car. This is not as modern as its counterparts, the C-Class included. It is quite a dismay that it only has 10.5 cubic feet of space at the back. Legroom and headroom are limited at the back.
Technology & Safety
There is a humongous and reliable pairing for the MBUX infotainment system in the 2022 C-Class. This is because it now uses an 11.9-inch digital gauge cluster, together with its 12.3-inch infotainment display. It is as if these upgrades are not enough, the ride also includes a voice-activated digital assistant, Wi-Fi hot spot, and wireless smartphone integration. A fingerprint sensor is also used to authenticate memory settings and driver profile. Safety wise, the inclusion of pedestrian detection, and automated emergency braking from what its predecessor used to offer, makes it an even more dependable ride.
The 2022 Genesis G70 gets a 10.25-inch touch screen display, a bit smaller than what you will find in the C-Class. Nonetheless, you cannot fault it with its well-organized menus and its reliable features. It misses out on the fingerprint sensor that you will enjoy in its Mercedes-Benz counterpart though. It is rich in standard safety technologies that include forward automatic emergency braking, rear cross traffic alert, and intersection assist, among others.
Performance
The C-Class gets greater results with its now hybrid system, thus increasing output to reach 275 horsepower instead of the usual 255 horsepower. The G70 hits 252 horsepower for its turbo-four engine.
The Bottom Line
The 2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class knows just what you need when it comes to a luxury small car. It has been gifted with amenities that you will truly appreciate. It also oozes with reliable technologies. This makes it better than the genesis G70 in all aspects.
