Mercedes-Benz AMG CLA 35
Car A
Mercedes-Benz AMG CLA 35
The Mercedes-Benz AMG CLA 35 blends strong performance with everyday practicality, pairing quick acceleration with a usable five-seat cabin and 460 L trunk for trips. It’s good value in its segment, though front-wheel drive and limited cargo flexibility make it less ideal for winter or cargo-heavy needs.

Car B
Mercedes-Benz SLC 200
An electric five-seat SLC 200 that blends strong power with a 500 km range, making daily city use and road trips easy for a growing family. Quick and practical, but FWD and its focus make it less ideal for harsh winters or performance driving.
