2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class vs. 2021 Volvo S60: The C-Class is a More Powerful Choice

With the perfect combination of luxury and sportiness, the Mercedes-C-Class delivers a spirited driving experience along with top-of-the line amenities and technologies. It is by far the most stylish sedan in the segment and perpetuates the long and rich tradition of refined performance at Mercedes-Benz.

Here, we compare the 2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class with the 2021 Volvo S60.

More performance in the 2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class

The 2021 C-Class offers an unprecedented choice of engines and performance levels. The C 300 4MATIC features a base 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder that has an output of 255 horsepower and 276 lb-ft of torque. This outperforms the Volvo S60's base T5 engine, which peaks at only 250 horsepower. The AMG C 43 features a 3.0-litre turbocharged V6 that outputs 385 horsepower and 384 lb-ft of torque. This surpasses the S60’s T6 engine, which is a four-cylinder that delivers only 316 horsepower.

The Volvo S60's most powerful model, the Polestar Engineered, includes a turbocharged and supercharged four-cylinder that peaks at 415 horsepower. However, it doesn't hold up to two Mercedes-Benz AMG C-Class models. The AMG C 63 is equipped with a handmade engine that boosts horsepower to 469, and the AMG C 63 S delivers unprecedented amounts of power thanks to its 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 that generates 503 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque.

The C-Class delivers a dynamic drive thanks to the 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission, as well as the renowned 4MATIC AWD system that can conquer any type of road conditions. This pairing offers more capability and more precision than the S60's eight-speed automatic transmission and less precise AWD system.

The 2021 Mercedes Benz C-Class gets better technologies and more space

Inside, the C-Class offers an available 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a 10.25-inch centre screen, and more to provide a more stylish and more intuitive interior than the one you will find in the Volvo S60.

The 2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class also lets you bring more luggage on your adventures. With 455 litres in the trunk compared to only 436 with the S60, you’ll never have to leave anything behind.

The 2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is a superior vehicle on all facets. Come and see it today! You can also shop for your car online with us. Our representatives are waiting for your call and can answer all your questions.
