The 2014 Volvo S60 vs. the 2014 Mercedes-Benz C-Class

There are many drivers in the Manchester, NH area who have discovered the virtues of the 2014 Volvo S60 for themselves. For those you who haven't experienced the joy that this car offers, know this: it's one of the finest luxury sedans out there, and you can try it out now at Lovering Volvo of Concord. With refined styling and great technology features for 2014, the S60 is continuing to solidify Volvo's place as one of the world's finest automakers. In particular, the 2014 S60 is a tough competitor for the 2014 Mercedes-Benz C-Class. Let's take a look at how these models compare.

Two Luxury Sedans, One Winner

For our purposes, we're going to compare the base models of these phenomenal luxury sedans: the 2014 Volvo S60 T5 and the 2014 Mercedes-Benz C250 Sport Sedan. Both are strong choices, and both offer many similar features, but there are a few important differences:

·      Price. The base MSRP of the C250 Sport Sedan comes to $35,800, while the S60 T5 has a base MSRP of $32,400. While these are luxury vehicles, $3,400 is certainly nothing to sneeze at.

·      Power. Do you want to be able to jump of the line with speed? If so, you'll appreciate that the Volvo is packing a turbocharged 2.5L five-cylinder engine that cranks out 250 hp and 266 lb-ft of torque. The Mercedes-Benz, meanwhile, has a turbocharged 1.8L four-cylinder engine that offers 201 hp and 229 lb-ft of torque. And even though the S60 offers much more power, the fuel economy of these two cars is nearly identical.

·      Space. It's a luxury vehicle, so there are certain expectations about having the ability to stretch out and enjoy the opulent interior. While both interiors have plenty of features at hand, the Volvo offers more room. In face, the S60 has superior front and rear headroom, front and rear legroom, and front and rear shoulder room.
