Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will feel a little more squished in the Mercedes-Benz CLE 300 than in the Toyota Prius, due to the Mercedes-Benz CLE 300's smaller rear head- and legroom.
Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Toyota Prius, the Mercedes-Benz CLE 300 may be a little roomier and more comfortable for the driver and front seat passengers.
Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Mercedes-Benz CLE 300 as you will with the Toyota Prius, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.
Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Mercedes-Benz CLE 300 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Toyota Prius, which has a much lower MSRP.
Dimensions
Since the Mercedes-Benz CLE 300 is much wider than the Toyota Prius, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging.
If you go with the Mercedes-Benz CLE 300, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Toyota Prius.
Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Mercedes-Benz CLE 300 is somewhat more powerful than the Toyota Prius.
Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the engine of the Mercedes-Benz CLE 300 does a much better job of transmitting power to the wheels than the Toyota Prius.
Utility
The Mercedes-Benz CLE 300 has less seating than the Toyota Prius, making the Toyota Prius the better choice if you need to chauffeur many passengers.
