Car A
Mercedes-Benz GLS 450 4MATIC
A three-row, seven-seat luxury model with strong V6 biturbo performance and AWD, the GLS 450 4MATIC suits large families and long road trips. High fuel use and modest cargo space with all seats up are the main compromises.

Car B
Audi Q7 60 TFSI e
A spacious AWD plug-in SUV for large families, the Q7 60 TFSI e combines seven-seat flexibility and an 865 L boot with efficient-for-its-class running when you can use its 43 km electric range. Less ideal for tight city use or buyers seeking sharp handling thrills.
