Efficiency
When it comes to fuel economy, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class has the advantage. It earns an EPA-estimated 24 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway. The A4 falls just short of those figures with an EPA-estimated 24 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway.
Space
While the Mercedes-Benz C-Class vs. Audi A4 present two different performances, they are both spacious sedans that are brimming with luxury for Toledo drivers. Either model will seat five passengers comfortably. And though the C-Class has 12.6 cubic feet of trunk space to utilize, the Audi A4 has just the slight edge on cargo space with 13.0 cubic feet to spare.
