Comfort
The Kia Stinger offers a bit more room for passengers in the back seat than the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.
The Kia Stinger will be a favorite with taller drivers due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.
Convenience
With the Mercedes-Benz C-Class you will definitely be making less frequent stops at the gas station than with the Kia Stinger, due to its tank size and fuel economy.
Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Whether you pick the Kia Stinger or the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, it's going to cost you about the same.
Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. The Kia Stinger and the Mercedes-Benz C-Class have similar Destination Charges.
Dimensions
Since the Kia Stinger is much wider than the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging.
For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Kia Stinger, which is slightly longer than the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.
Drivetrain
Due to its much higher torque, the engine of the Kia Stinger does a much better job of transmitting power to the wheels than the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.
Handling
The Kia Stinger has a larger turning radius than the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.
Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Kia Stinger has a much more powerful engine than the Mercedes-Benz C-Class. However, something you should consider is that higher horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.
Utility

With its significantly greater cargo capacity, the Kia Stinger will be able to haul more equipment or luggage than the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.
