Are you the type of person who prefers softer and more timeless colors? Then, either the 2 Series or the C-Class is a solid pick since both models offer a range of hues in black, white, gray, and silver. However, if you’re the type of person who loves standing out in a crowd, the 2 Series is the way to go.

This car is offered in a variety of standout metallic colors, including:

• Snapper Rocks Blue
• Sunset Orange
• Phytonic Blue
• Melbourne Red
• Thundernight Purple

The C-Class, on the other hand, only offers two bold color options, a red and a blue.

Climb inside either model and marvel at the premium features found with the 2 Series and the C-Class. You’ll find many similarities among cabin design features, including:

• Standard vegan leather upholstery
• Multi-color interior ambient lighting
• Available Panoramic Moonroof

Both cars have various mood-boosting elements, but only the 2 Series comes standard with illuminated interior trim. This feature takes the popular interior ambient lighting feature to the next level by embedding multicolor lights directly into the vehicle’s accent trim.

Technology is at the heart of your vehicle. Features like wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ are found standard. These integrations allow you to seamlessly sync your smartphone to access songs, podcasts, and other digital features while on the go.

Enjoy an immersive sound experience by equipping your vehicle with an optional sound system from either Harman Kardon® with the BMW or Burmester with the C-Class. While there are many similarities, you may have a more comfortable time accessing the infotainment features of the 2 Series since this model features an ergonomic design that you likely won’t find with the C-Class.

There are several driver-assist features found with the BMW 2 Series and the Mercedes-Benz C-Class that help you feel extra confident behind the wheel. Each model comes standard with its own version of features including:

• Active Blind Spot Detection
• Frontal Collision Warning
• Available Active Cruise Control

There are many similarities between the safety features of these models; however, only with the 2 Series will you gain standard access to Lane Departure Warning, a feature that alerts you when it detects unintentional drifting from your lane. A similar feature is found with the C-Class, but it’s only offered optionally.

When looking for a car that maneuvers well, you need to explore the vehicle’s dimensions. The smaller the vehicle, the easier time you’ll have to handle lane changes and tight turns. Let’s explore the exterior dimensions of these models to see which one offers the better size:

BMW 2 Series	vs	Mercedes-Benz C-Class
179 in.	Length	188.6 in.
72.4 in.	Width	80 in.
54.8 in.	Height	57.1in.
107.9 in.	Wheelbase	112.8 in.

In addition to its small size, the 2 Series also has a reduced curb weight, topping off at 3,446 pounds. Due to its larger size, the C-Class adds nearly 700 pounds, which could lead to a more sluggish response time and make various maneuvers more difficult.

While cruising down the highway, you’ll find that both the 2 Series and the C-Class make it easy to feel connected and engaged with your commute. Their automatic transmissions provide smooth gear changes, and their selectable drive modes allow you to customize how your vehicle performs based on your mood.

Plus, you’ll love that both models come optionally equipped with a sport transmission that adds extra oomph to your travels.
