Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Mercedes-Benz CL-Class packs quite a wallop and will knock the average coupe/hatchback down a few rungs. On the flip side, bear in mind that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Handling
With their similar turning circles, the average coupe/hatchback and the CL-Class most definitely handle roughly the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Mercedes-Benz CL-Class has a bigger engine than the typical coupe/hatchback. Note that smaller engines typically get better gas mileage, but smaller engines can be stressed more. Torque is the force that lets you accelerate quickly, and in this respect, the CL-Class is tremendously more powerful than the average coupe/hatchback.

Utility
Neither the Mercedes-Benz CL-Class nor the average coupe/hatchback has a marked advantage regarding seating capacity.

Convenience
You will have to visit your friendly gas station more often with the Mercedes-Benz CL-Class than with the average coupe/hatchback.

Comfort
Taller drivers will substantially enjoy the extra head room in the typical coupe/hatchback's front cabin compared to the CL-Class. The average coupe/hatchback is not particularly roomier for your passengers than the Mercedes-Benz CL-Class.

Dimensions
The Mercedes-Benz CL-Class is significantly more bulky than the average coupe/hatchback. Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Mercedes-Benz CL-Class than the typical coupe/hatchback because of its larger tank. The average coupe/hatchback fits in smaller parking spaces than the Mercedes-Benz CL-Class. The average coupe/hatchback's shorter wheelbase will give a sprier feel in daily traffic. On the other hand, the Mercedes-Benz CL-Class is likely to have a smoother, more stable ride.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs roughly the same to get the average coupe/hatchback to the dealership as the Mercedes-Benz CL-Class. The CL-Class guzzles a lot of gasoline compared to the average coupe/hatchback. When it comes to gas mileage, the typical coupe/hatchback bests the Mercedes-Benz CL-Class. The average coupe/hatchback is tremendously less pricey than the Mercedes-Benz CL-Class with respect to MSRP. The average coupe/hatchback will save you a lots_of_money at the pump every year compared to the Mercedes-Benz CL-Class.

Warranty
The basic warranty that comes with the average coupe/hatchback isn't quite as generous as the Mercedes-Benz CL-Class's.
