[@ishaankhatavkar1283]

Damn the decision is so difficult. The perfect thing will be interior of merc and performance of bmw

[@parthdube1998]

Perfect comparison!! Much needed one. And yes that Behind The Scenes it's the cherry on the cake!!

[@eeshachandrapupadhya9160]

I'm a BMW fanboy, I just feel A class Limo is just better.

[@sanurawat1651]

When it comes to looks BMW just killed it

[@naveenrito7554]

Drag race between these cars would be amazing 😍😍🔥

[@gilroytrevor]

Nice comparison. One question isn’t rear parking sensors mandatory on all cars sold in India?

[@priyeshkumar5267]

Much awaited thing finally gets resolved today - behind the scenes 😁😁..PLZZ keep this for every upcoming videos 🙏🙏

[@taranshupattnaiktp3335]

I may love BMW 2 GC, but A limo really grows on me......and yes...the BTS part was really amazing.....pls do include it in every reviews and comparison tests.....

[@alenthomasroy3820]

Mercedes:- Interior & Exterior ❤️😍 BMW:- Exterior ❤️

[@akashapurv4816]

The Merc's back seat seating posture looks like sitting on the 3rd row of some compact SUV's.

[@corssa.]

Merc has done it, it’s so good, I saw the cla 200 as well, didn’t do much, wasn’t good enough, but this, I’m all for it, I’m getting one as soon as lockdown lifts here

[@chahatsharma2231]

Need Combo of interior of merc and performance and agility of bmw

[@sparshagarwal7702]

Please do it for Merc E-class and BMW 6GT 🙈🙈🙈🙈

[@balisticab999]

I prefer the a class here,the interiors are extremely good looking and offer the premium feel more than the bmw,the bmw thought might be more stylish and aggressive on the outside,the a class still gets my money over it

[@navdeepdanner0088]

*The comparison we needed 🔥*

[@nikhilyogesh87chaugule46]

Please help me decide on which car should I go Audi A4 / bmw 2 / Merc A …thank you

[@saranraparthy]

Will Chuck this segment and go for skoda superb. More comfortable, more luxurious, more space, better power. Skoda is also a brand to feel premium enough.

[@RozarioVLeon]

Good old head 2 head videos, Bring ‘em on and bring second servings too.

[@Archiths95]

Benz under thigh support is not an issue , bmw low space at the back is also not an issue .both are great cars in their ways nothing to complain on both .

[@sutarashish3]

Perfect review as usual, but the stand out feature was BTS ....i liked it....and would like to see more

[@anshularora300]

Great review. Also please put time stamps!

[@Shauzub]

Behind the scenes are awesome… you should have it in every video from now 😍

[@flamegaming2431]

What is the ground clearance of Mercedes a class limo?

[@deepaksrinivasan8315]

Difficult decision but i love the BMW

[@amaldevsp7672]

BMW the absolute drivers delight 😍

[@navedhussain5771]

When will the audi A3 sedan 2021 be launched ?

[@sudhirlakshmanan]

A video comparing these two to the jaguar xe would be awesome

[@supnava8320]

i really enjoyed the BTS, try to add these in every video, makes it more livelier :)

[@akshaygi]

The new Skoda Octavia L&K is a bargain with a much better engine and tons of features.

[@satyamevjayte2443]

Twin clutch is always a problem at lower speeds. However there is no match to a twin clutch performance, but for a daily routine a Torque Converter is a better option

[@dharshandeni7346]

Much waited comparison 🔥🔥🔥

[@solicitor7793]

Waiting for Autocar drag race between m340i vs amg A35 🤞🤞🤞

[@vivekraninga8942]

FANTASTIC REVIEW AND THE BTS TOO IS REALLY A NICE ADDITION .....😅👍👍👍

[@VigneshJayakumarvjrenato]

Does the BMW get wireless android auto as well?

[@dipakonair]

I'm an owner of BMW M2 Series GC Diesel and already done 2500 km with about 1000km on high way but the main problem with ground clearance a bit problematic with Indian roadside with pot holes and uneven road surfaces in different occasion. Also feeling a fearing factor on road bumpers and speed breakers. It requires to put more attention during driving. Otherwise the driving pleasure is superb. I drove non stop about 300+ km but never felt exhausted. The car gives a confidence even 170kmph speed and never felt any nervous. But this vehicle should come with Android which is a biggest handicap of this car.

[@subhashnagaraj6272]

What's the ground clearance of benz a200d??

[@mariannalacrosse2886]

Thanks for the comparison definitely needed to be done with these two cars . I love them both . The Mercedes is bigger inside and the bmw has more horsepower in India and even in USA as well . I thought I made my mine up but now it’s even more of a tie . I will just have to test drive both ,,

[@gyanwire]

In the long period, Mercedes will give more satisfaction to the buyer.

[@akssanvlogs9562]

Would buy Skoda superb for the space and performance with 10 lac cheaper price.Or would go for proper performance sedans 330i

[@hariradhakrishnan]

The beemer is only 0.3 sec faster to a ton with 190 BHP. That's a surprise.

[@shreyasdas4391]

Waiting for a comparison between hector plus,Safari and Alcazar

[@NK-zf5ne]

Having bit contrast like for 2 series face when compared with 3 and 5 series!

[@shashankpazhani8480]

Whennnn is alcazar's review gonna comeee!!???

[@bangcupid007]

Wow, great video!

[@Rajesh-gh9ev]

nice review

[@ismail3861]

Mercedes feels more classy and business like

[@kunalshete2273]

The Merc has a better backseat. That’s about it. The BMW is better at pretty much everything else. The driving dynamics are incomparable. The interior looks better on the Merc but the build quality is average at best. Lots of wobbly bits.

[@adventurewithpritam]

Mercedes Benz ❤️

[@bigcok6997]

My 228i gc is 228hp and it definitely feels sporty

[@sahil.i0612]

Buy a superb

[@rajasekharpabolu5292]

Why so, till this date Mercedes Benz India has not yet launched A Class Limousine in Colour Red, is there any specific reason behind it.

[@Rajkumar-yw4uc]

Waiting for SKODA KUSHAQ #firstdrive video..........

[@varunpratapsinghrathore8495]

Better go for SKODA OCTAVIA RS, if you're looking for performance

[@aldiandroid]

I think the main competitor of the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe is the Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class Coupe, not the A-Class Sedan... because the equivalent competitor for the A-Class Sedan is the BMW 1 Series Sedan which is currently only sold in the Chinese and Mexican markets.

[@scatteredpicks36]

Merc : Interior n exterior too. Bmw : Only exterior. Lack of rear seat space. My fav merc💕😪

[@chetan7078]

Mercedes Benz s class 2021 ka video kab Ayage

[@kc699120]

Wish the new A3 was here already so you could have included that too!

[@johnsonjacob5750]

I need LANDCRUISER full video review @autocar 😎

[@the_dented_NPC]

BTS is superb. Please include it in all your videos henceforth. Just for giggles and laughs. also, it tells you how many shots are needed to be taken for a perfect video.

[@ruchigulati8638]

Autocar india ❤️❤️❤️❤️. Lovers raise your hands ❤️❤️😘

[@Pragy]

Aren’t parking sensors made mandatory by the government?

[@rajarampalvepalve2266]

Sir I want to become a car designer plzzz sir suggest me something which we have to stream ❤️

[@MBSharadaProject]

Skoda superb is a better choice....super specious, great driving pleasure and comfort, feature rich, luxurious feel...what else is needed

[@letsknowit9721]

[@satyamevjayte2443]

What is stopping all the Automobile channels to give a muc duely Awaited Comparison between 3 series & C class

[@mamtatyagi4490]

Where is Hyundai alcazar review

[@bmnihaal]

merc losing its charm, no backseat comfort, seeing that, felt like someone sitting in 3rd row of suv, no parking sensors, lol. end credit scene is super

[@rakshanram5610]

[@lokeshc7048]

[@BboyTejas]

I have a Merc A 200d , don't even think of buying a bmw, unless you buy 3 series gran limo or above. Merc 200d >>>>>>

[@MrKshitij]

Awesome. Shapur and Hormazd are in a different league.

[@snapgamer5461]

Two German brothers 🤜🤛

[@jinsjoseph9223]

Need a interior of MERC and a exterior of BMW

[@ruchigulati8638]

I love the bmw ❤️❤️

[@vgammer8694]

BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé 220d M Sport

[@adityachaudhary3399]

Skoda octavia rs is better option i guess

[@yeah_bakaidi426]

Its the merc for me

[@onelife2199]

Make a video about Hyundai Alcazar . Can't believe you people are late .

[@siddharthsumesh8719]

Rolls Royce Collin an vs suv gls maybach plz

[@MrYashwant1991]

I always favoured BMW and will always love it more than Merc....damn look at that grill

[@mayankbajpeyee6865]

If you are sporty person then go for bmw

[@roshanbamudhappa2424]

That is not a BMW bmw...it's actually having a mini cooper engine inside...

[@adimurphy]

BMW for me!

[@jacqkamal5419]

So who’s the winner?BMW or Benz? Plz ASAP

[@shammahstevens7073]

Good job on comparison. BMW 2 Series is good when compared to the Mercedes Benz A class Lim.

[@fromyesterdaytotomo]

Škoda Superb and VW Passat are better cars in this segment

[@micpsycoss6244]

BMW forever ❤

[@rakmanbaba]

Why oh why Mercedes are u not offering a 220d engine with this car? It's almost the perfect entry level luxury sedan in every other way

[@sudheernavada6428]

Better go for skoda superb ...

[@abinfiroz4210]

Here benz is better in all aspect. Bt in other segments bm is more punchier

[@ameykamat8198]

Me it's merc..first love

[@anantbansal4614]

Merc should have come with 180bhp

[@devanshbansal7150]

For me it's the bmw 😎

[@shivachauhan1461]

BMW 220D M sports no match ❤️❤️

[@vinayakgupta6105]

Why would somebody buy these cars when you can get better space in honda city which costs 4 times less than these both?

[@9exportcar244]

Nice car and looks so beautiful

[@SouvikDas03]
