The C 300 is the base model for all C-Class body styles. Discover how it fares against the competition with this 2018 Mercedes-Benz C 300 vs 2018 Lexus ES 350 comparison.  

Although both the C 300 and ES 350 are affordably priced, the C 300's slightly higher starting price indicates higher value—meaning more standard bells and whistles to enhance the drive. The 3 C00 sports a 2.0L I4 engine while the ES 350 boasts a 3.5L V6, which results in more horsepower for the ES 350.
