Car A
Mercedes-Benz CLS 350
The Mercedes-Benz CLS 350 pairs strong performance (299 hp, 5.9 s 0–100 km/h) with five seats and a 520‑liter trunk, making it a premium choice for long trips. Its 9 L/100 km consumption and 75,400 price lean more toward highway comfort than city frugality.

Car B
Hyundai Genesis G80
The Hyundai Genesis G80 pairs V6 punch with quick acceleration to suit highway miles and family road trips. It offers five-seat practicality and a usable trunk, but it’s less compelling for cargo-heavy needs or stop‑and‑go city use.
