Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Toyota Prius than the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, due to its greater head- and legroom.
Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, drivers may find the Toyota Prius a little roomier and somewhat more comfortable.
Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Mercedes-Benz C-Class as you will with the Toyota Prius, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.
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). The Mercedes-Benz C-Class will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Toyota Prius, which has a much lower MSRP.
Dimensions
Since the Mercedes-Benz C-Class is much wider than the Toyota Prius, 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 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, which is slightly longer than the Toyota Prius.
Handling
The Mercedes-Benz C-Class has a larger turning radius than the Toyota Prius, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.
Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class has a much more powerful engine than the Toyota Prius. However, something you should consider is that higher horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.
Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the engine of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class does a much better job of transmitting power to the wheels than the Toyota Prius.
Utility
The Mercedes-Benz C-Class has less seating than the Toyota Prius, making the Toyota Prius the better choice if you need to chauffeur many passengers.
