Hyundai Coupe 2006 vs Mercedes CLS 2006
| Gearbox: | Manual | Automatic | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 2.0 Petrol | 3.0 Diesel | |
| Petrol engines (Hyundai Coupe) are generally quieter, smoother, and better suited for short trips due to quicker warm-up times. Diesel (Mercedes CLS) engines, on the other hand, offer superior fuel efficiency and torque, making them ideal for long-distance driving and heavy loads.

| Camshaft drive: | Timing belt | Timing chain | |
| Timing belt usually needs to be replaced more often than the chain, but it is usually significantly cheaper. Timing belt motors are generally quieter and less vibrating than chain motors. | |||
Performance | |||
| Power: | 143 HP | 224 HP | |
| Torque: | 186 NM | 540 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 9.1 seconds | 7 seconds | |
|
Mercedes CLS is a more dynamic driving. Hyundai Coupe engine produces 81 HP less power than Mercedes CLS, whereas torque is 354 NM less than Mercedes CLS. Due to the lower power, Hyundai Coupe reaches 100 km/h speed 2.1 seconds later. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Fuel consumption (l/100km): | 8.0 | 7.6 | |
| Real fuel consumption: | 9.1 l/100km | 8.3 l/100km | |
|
The Mercedes CLS is a better choice when it comes to fuel economy. By specification Hyundai Coupe consumes 0.4 litres more fuel per 100 km than the Mercedes CLS, which means that if you drive 15,000 km in a year, the Hyundai Coupe could require 60 litres more fuel. By comparing actual fuel consumption based on user reports, Hyundai Coupe consumes 0.8 litres more fuel per 100 km than the Mercedes CLS. | |||
| Fuel tank capacity: | 55 litres | 80 litres | |
| Full fuel tank distance: | 680 km in combined cycle | 1050 km in combined cycle | |
| 850 km on highway | 1350 km on highway | ||
| 600 km with real consumption | 960 km with real consumption | ||
| Mercedes CLS gets more mileage on one fuel tank. | |||

Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | Front wheel drive (FWD) | Rear wheel drive (RWD) | |
| Front-wheel drive cars (Hyundai Coupe) have better traction on slippery roads and when climbing hills, better fuel economy, and are less expensive to purchase. On the disadvantage side, FWD cars usually have less towing capacity, poorer acceleration and harder handling. Rear-wheel drive cars (Mercedes CLS) have better handling on dry roads, better acceleration, more even weight distribution and more fun to drive. RWD is also better for towing large loads. The cons of rear-wheel drive are less interior and trunk space and more difficulty maneuvering in wet and snowy conditions. | |||
Engines | |||
| Engine production duration: | 11 years | 20 years | |
| Engine spread: | Installed on at least 7 other car models, including Kia Sportage, Kia Ceed, Hyundai Sonata, Hyundai Tucson, Hyundai Elantra | Installed on at least 9 other car models, including Mercedes C klase, Mercedes E klase, Mercedes ML, Mercedes G klase | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Mercedes CLS might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
| Hydraulic tappets: | no | yes | |
| The Mercedes CLS engine has hydraulic tappets (lifters), providing quieter operation and no need for periodic adjustment, but they are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in case of failure. | |||
