Car A
Mercedes-Benz E 220d
The Mercedes-Benz E 220d blends efficient diesel running (4.6 l/100 km) with five-seat practicality and a 540-liter trunk, suiting growing families and road trips. Performance is balanced rather than flashy, and front-wheel drive prioritizes everyday ease over winter prowess.

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.
