Mercedes-Benz E 300d
Car A
Mercedes-Benz E 300d
Efficient for its class and sized for growing families, the Mercedes-Benz E 300d blends long‑distance ease with everyday practicality. Strong safety signals and a useful 500‑liter trunk make it road‑trip friendly, though it isn’t aimed at performance driving.

Mercedes-Benz SLC 200
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.
