Mercedes-Benz CLS 350
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
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.
