Chrysler Grand Voyager 2008 vs Mercedes R class 2010
| Gearbox: | Automatic | Automatic | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 2.8 Diesel | 3.0 Petrol | |
| Diesel (Chrysler Grand Voyager) engines typically outperform gasoline engines in terms of fuel efficiency and low-end torque. This makes them more economical and better suited for towing or long-distance travel. However, gasoline (Mercedes R class) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles. For more information, see the article "Diesel or Petrol: Fuel Economy and Key Differences." | |||
| 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: | 163 HP | 231 HP | |
| Torque: | 360 NM | 300 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 12.8 seconds | 9.6 seconds | |
|
Mercedes R class is a more dynamic driving. Chrysler Grand Voyager engine produces 68 HP less power than Mercedes R class, but torque is 60 NM more than Mercedes R class. Due to the lower power, Chrysler Grand Voyager reaches 100 km/h speed 3.2 seconds later. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Fuel consumption (l/100km): | 9.3 | 11.1 | |
|
The Chrysler Grand Voyager is a better choice when it comes to fuel economy. Chrysler Grand Voyager consumes 1.8 litres less fuel per 100 km than the Mercedes R class, which means that by driving the Chrysler Grand Voyager over 15,000 km in a year you can save 270 litres of fuel. | |||
| Fuel tank capacity: | 75 litres | 80 litres | |
| Full fuel tank distance: | 800 km in combined cycle | 720 km in combined cycle | |
| 1020 km on highway | 900 km on highway | ||
| Chrysler Grand Voyager gets more mileage on one fuel tank. | |||
| Read the article "Fuel Efficiency: How to Reduce Fuel Consumption" to learn more about fuel economy. | |||
Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | Front wheel drive (FWD) | Rear wheel drive (RWD) | |
| Front-wheel drive cars (Chrysler Grand Voyager) 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 R class) 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 | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 420'000 km | 420'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 12 years | 13 years | |
| Engine spread: | Installed on at least 3 other car models, including Jeep Cherokee, Jeep Wrangler, Dodge Nitro | Installed on at least 6 other car models, including Mercedes C klase, Mercedes E klase, Mercedes CLK, Mercedes SLK | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Mercedes R class might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
