Mercedes C class 2021 vs Skoda Octavia 2019
| Comparing electrical vehicle (EV) with combustion engine (ICE) one is a complex task, but we are doing our best. | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Gearbox: | Automatic | Automatic | |
| Engine: | 2.0 Hybrid | 2.0 Diesel | |
| Hybrid engines (Mercedes C class) excel in urban environments with superior fuel efficiency and lower emissions during stop-and-go driving. Diesel engines (Skoda Octavia), however, are more fuel-efficient on long highway trips and provide greater torque for towing and heavy loads. | |||
Performance | |||
| Power: | 204 HP | 116 HP | |
| Torque: | 320 NM | 250 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 6.2 seconds | 10.8 seconds | |
|
Mercedes C class is more dynamic to drive. Mercedes C class engine produces 88 HP more power than Skoda Octavia, whereas torque is 70 NM more than Skoda Octavia. Thanks to more power Mercedes C class reaches 100 km/h speed 4.6 seconds faster. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Consumption: | 0.8 l/100km + 20.7 kWh/100km | ||
| Fuel tank capacity: | 50 litres | 45 litres | |
| Read the article "Fuel Efficiency: How to Reduce Fuel Consumption" to learn more about fuel economy. | |||
Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | Rear wheel drive (RWD) | Front wheel drive (FWD) | |
| Front-wheel drive cars (Skoda Octavia) have better traction on slippery roads and when climbing hills, better fuel economy, and are less expensive to purchase. On the disadvantage side, FWD cars usually have less towing capacity, poorer acceleration and harder handling. Rear-wheel drive cars (Mercedes C class) have better handling on dry roads, better acceleration, more even weight distribution and more fun to drive. RWD is also better for towing large loads. The cons of rear-wheel drive are less interior and trunk space and more difficulty maneuvering in wet and snowy conditions. | |||
| Ground clearance: | 97 mm (3.8 inches) | 142 mm (5.6 inches) | |
| Because of the higher ground clearance, Skoda Octavia can perform better on bad roads - it can go over higher obstacles and bumps. At the same time, the higher ground clearance can reduce stability and handling on paved roads, especially at higher speeds. Note, however, that this Skoda Octavia version does not have 4x4 drive, which is very important in poor road conditions. Choose from three 4x4 versions of Skoda Octavia 2019 if off-road driveability is important to you. | |||
Dimensions | |||
| Length: | 4.75 m | 4.69 m | |
| Width: | 1.82 m | 1.83 m | |
| Height: | 1.47 m | 1.47 m | |
| Both cars are similar in size. Mercedes C class is 6 cm longer than the Skoda Octavia, width is practically the same also the height of the cars does not differ significantly. | |||
| Trunk capacity: | 360 litres | 640 litres | |
| Trunk max capacity: with rear seats folded down, if possible |
1375 litres | 1700 litres | |
|
Skoda Octavia has more luggage space. Despite its longer length, This could mean that the Mercedes C class uses more space in the cabin, so the driver and passengers could be more spacious and comfortable. The maximum boot capacity (with all rear seats folded down) is larger in Skoda Octavia (by 325 litres). | |||
| Turning diameter: | 11.1 meters | 10.4 meters | |
| The turning circle of the Mercedes C class is 0.7 metres more than that of the Skoda Octavia, which means Mercedes C class can be harder to manoeuvre in tight streets and parking spaces. | |||
