BMW and Mercedes Benz all time competitor in India. Which entry level car suits you the most?
Everyone loves the luxury line but its not everyone at some point who can own a higher priced luxury line cars. Thinking of that the luxury line has introduced their entry level variant which can be afforded by most. But question arises what to choose.
Mercedes as well as BMW both give Petrol as well as Diesel on offer so every head has a option to choose. Mercedes gives 3 variants, Bmw gives 4 variant on option.
Design :
BMW as well as Mercedes both have unique designs of their own. Starting of Mercedes the A class looks a eye catcher. The front grill while a huge logo along with small logos along side is something new by Benz which is awesome! The flow of the design is maintained with the rear looking sharper with those two T shaped Lights, and yes it makes it feel sportier (looks quite fast)
Overall dimensions of the car,
Length 4549 WIdth: 1796 Height: 1446 (for the AMG version Length:4559 Width: 1992 Height:1411)
Stating the BMW design , BMW factors are seen but the grill is definitely a regular one and not big, covered with chrome. Exterior design with the LED matrix headlights are pretty unique. BMW matrix light nowadays makes a pretty sharp design. The rear of 2 series with the single led lights are more desirable than on the Benz, making it more sportier than Benz.
Overall dimension of car
4526 mm in length, 2081 mm in width and 1420 mm height.
Talking of overall design our votes go towards Mercedes, as the overall design is well maintained while the small logo stickers make it stand of worth buy.
