Sedan · Gasoline · FWD

Car A

Mercedes-Benz CLS 250

The Mercedes-Benz CLS 250 blends an efficient diesel (5.5 combined consumption) with relaxed performance for premium road trips. A 520 L trunk and five seats aid family use, but FWD and a premium price won’t suit everyone.

Car B

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.
