2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class vs. 2022 Kia Stinger

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 Kia Stinger has powerful engines worth taking note of, plus it comes packed with standard features that you will want to try. The ride is also given a refreshed exterior and interior styling.

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.

That of the 2022 Kia Stinger is not as impressive as that of the C-Class in terms of styling. It may come standard with leather seats, but there is still a part of it that needs to get improvement in the future. It is praised for a roomy cargo area, though. Nonetheless, sits aren’t as comfortable and plush as those offered by its Mercedes-Benz counterpart.

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.

For the 2022 version of the Stinger, you will find the 10.25-inch touch screen commendable too. This has straightforward operation, and can be personalized accordingly. It only has nine speakers though. Safety features pedestrian and cyclist detection and automatic emergency braking.

Performance

As mentioned, there is a hybrid system that increases results for the engine under the hood of the C-Class. From the usual 255 horsepower, this goes up to 275 horsepower. The Stinger has a standard result of 300 horsepower for its turbo-four, 2.5-liter engine. The V6 engine generates up to 386 horsepower.

The Bottom Line

The 2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is one ride that you will definitely want to have in your garage, and boast to your friends from time to time. The Kia Stinger tries because of its engine options, but still fails in all aspects.
