The Mercedes-Benz C300 ($60,365 as specced in Canada, ~$48,400 in the US) is all new this year, and has seen several improvements. Such as: a partially electrified engine, helping increase torque by more than 20 ft lbs over last year’s model, and a new generation of MBUX infotainment. But are the new changes enough to crush its fellow German rivals? The BMW 330i xDrive ($59,150 as specced in Canada, $46,470 in the US) is rated at the same horsepower and torque, but has a much faster claimed 0-60 time. And the Audi A4 ($60,190 as specced in Canada, ~$49,590 in the US) has more horsepower along with a 12-volt hybrid system of its own.

Thomas and James explore the ins and outs of these three German competitors and try to decide which they would take home if given the chance. We hope you enjoy the episode. Thanks for watching! SUBSCRIBE!

    "as numb as a sailor's arm on a lonely night." LOL
  • I work for BMW and I always look forward to these comparison videos so I can have a more honest opinion with the other guys who make great cars as well. Keep up the good work!

    330 owner here. I agree with Thomas every time. The differences between these are small.. but noticeable. My 330 has some addons and a tune, and when you push it you can tell there’s a sports car soul underneath. It’s still just a daily driver though, but it’s a good one.
  • The old version of this video was my first TH video It is so good to see how much TH evolved since then
  • @gdnh
    The MB not listening to the passenger vs driver's voice commands is actually amazing
  • @maxnapier8736
    Hands down you two have the chemistry not no other reviewer’s can come close to. I can full imagine you referencing every day experience’s. Awesome review with comic touch

    I bought the Mercedes after shopping all three brands. I did like the BMW, but they didn't have the 2023 model in stock at the time. The Mercedes does have decent legroom in the back and I think looks classier, which is why I like it better.

    “Audi is Car” should be on a tee shirt. Great review as always 🎉
  • When she refused to turn on the heated steering wheel from Thomas’s seat was epic 😂

    We bought the A4 just the other week. The fully specced out Technik edition in white with black optics. We really like the almost total cabin isolation which brings the road and traffic noise to almost zero. The combination of analogue and digital is just about perfect. We appreciate not having to use a touch screen to control things like the AC and volume. Audi virtual cockpit is pretty cool too. The understated interior design and styling overall is what was a big selling point. The MB in contrast looks a bit like a gaming PC inside. The ambient lights package in the Audi is perfect and perfectly implemented. Just about enough. Again in the MB it's a bit much. If you're tall like me and my wife you'll appreciate the Audi. The seats are wide and there is a lot of headroom and leg room. We only tried the BMW in addition to the Audi and the seats were smaller just fyi. I love the way BMWs drive but the Audi isn't far behind. For the kind of driving that you'll be doing in Canada I'd go Audi or MB in second place then the BMW. I think it's probably fair to say that all three are great cars and you'd probably be happy with either. We weren't the biggest fans of interior design in either the BMW or MB but that's a preference thing.

    I will never tire of the helmet intro banging the sill of that i8. I look forward to it every single time.
  • @MacDaddyC7Z06
    I swear this is the best car review channel. I have been a fan for years.
  • I would love to see the review of the one class up cars: 5-series vs. E-Class vs. A6!
  • The channel just keeps getting better and better. Keep up the great work guys! 👏🏼
  • You guys always have fantastic content across a ton of cars - and it is very much appreciated! Maybe an updated S4, C43, and BMW comparison is in the works? How do those cars compare to something like a G70? Everyone online seems to compare G70s against Stingers or Acuras but seems to be limited content for the G70 vs zee germans?! Thanks again guys! keep up the great work!
  • @SweDownhill

  • You guys capture the original essence of each one of these. Great video review... & awesome humor !
