The European luxury vehicle market in South Carolina is large and crowded. From Greer to Columbia to Charleston, many famous European luxury brands have a sizable and devoted following. Yet amongst all these brands, only one provides the perfect mix of performance, passion and price. To understand why Alfa Romeo vehicles are the favorite European luxury ride of many Spartanburg drivers, it helps to understand how Alfa Romeo compares to its continental competition. Today we are going to discuss how Alfa Romeo vehicles shape up to the Mercedes-Benz lineup.

Alfa Romeo Versus Mercedes-Benz - Performance

Driving performance is at the heart of every great European luxury vehicle. The best luxury vehicles offer their drivers and passengers a truly unique experience unmatched by anything else on the road. And while both Alfa Romeo and Mercedes-Benz seek to offer drivers an exciting yet refined driving experience, it is the Italians who stand out above their German counterparts.

This factor is most evident when looking at Alfa Romeo's top-of-the-line Quadrifoglio variants. The 2.9-liter V6 engine which powers each Quadrifoglio can produce as much as 505 horsepower. Few other vehicles can match these ratings, with closest competitors reaching just barely over 500 horses. For comparison, the Mercedes-Benz lineup contents itself with staying well below 490 horsepower.

Even the non-Quadrifoglio Alfa variants outshine the Germans. The Alfa Romeo Giulia sedan, while wider than its C-class Benz brethren, more than makes up for its extra space with a tighter turning radius. The Stelvio crossover provides similar levels of performance while offering room for the whole family. With vehicles boasting increased power and enhanced performance compared to the competition, there is little wonder why many Alfa Romeo drivers never go back to German cars.

Alfa Romeo V. Mercedes-Benz - Luxury

Both Alfa Romeo and Mercedes-Benz strive to offer a unique level of comfort not found on most competitors. While the Germans provide a sober and refined luxury option, when comparing the Alfa Romeo to Mercedes, Alfa Romeo proudly displays its Italian roots with a unique and stylish flair. From the distinctive pointed grille to the real wood and Italian leather throughout its cabin, an Alfa Romeo vehicle ensures that its driver's daily commute will be an unforgettable experience. 

Here again, the best way to indulge in Alfa Romeo is through the Quadrifoglio version. The Stelvio indulges its driver with fine materials such as wood and leather and high-contrast stitching throughout the cabin. In addition, the Giulia Quadrifoglio offers available bucket seats inspired by the ones used in its racing program. 

Alfa Romeo also ups the ante with its exciting technology offerings. When the Germans offer two USB ports as standard, the Italians put in a third. While Mercedes customers can choose to pay extra for a 10.3-inch touchscreen, the standard seven-inch display is (literally) outflanked by Alfa's 8.8-inch offering.
