Comfort
                                        Passengers in the back seat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 than the BMW 230, due to its greater head- and legroom.
                                        Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Mercedes-Benz CLA 250, the BMW 230 may be a little roomier and more comfortable for the driver and front seat passengers.
                                     
Convenience
                                        You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the BMW 230 as you will with the Mercedes-Benz CLA 250, 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).   When looking only at MSRP, the BMW 230 will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Mercedes-Benz CLA 250. 
                                     
Dimensions
                                        The BMW 230 is about the same width as the Mercedes-Benz CLA 250.
                                        The BMW 230 is slightly shorter than the Mercedes-Benz CLA 250, which may make it easier to park.
                                     
Handling
                                        The BMW 230 has about the same turning radius as the Mercedes-Benz CLA 250, allowing equal maneuverability in and out of tight spots.
                                     
Performance
                                        When it comes to horsepower, the BMW 230 is somewhat more powerful than the Mercedes-Benz CLA 250. 
                                     
Powertrain
                                        With somewhat higher torque, the engine of the BMW 230 transmits a bit more power to the wheels than the Mercedes-Benz CLA 250.
                                     
Utility
                                        The BMW 230 has less seating than the Mercedes-Benz CLA 250, making the Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 the better choice if you need to chauffeur many passengers.
