Mercedes-Benz C 220d
Car A
Mercedes-Benz C 220d
Efficient for its class and practical for growing families, the Mercedes-Benz C 220d blends a frugal diesel (4.7 L/100km) with enough performance (0–100 km/h in 7.8 s) for confident daily driving. Its five seats and 455-liter trunk cover everyday needs, though it’s less suited to bulky loads or winter-focused use.

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.
