Comparison Review

Comfort
Due to its greater rear head- and legroom, backseat passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Mercedes-Benz CLE 300 than the Nissan GT-R. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the Mercedes-Benz CLE 300 and the Nissan GT-R in the front seats.

Convenience
With the Mercedes-Benz CLE 300 you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Nissan GT-R, due to its larger tank size and better fuel economy.

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). Based on MSRP, the Mercedes-Benz CLE 300 is clearly a better financial choice over the Nissan GT-R.

Dimensions
The Mercedes-Benz CLE 300 is a little narrower than the Nissan GT-R, so you'll have an easier time getting in and out of the car in a tight parking spot. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Mercedes-Benz CLE 300, which is slightly longer than the Nissan GT-R.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Mercedes-Benz CLE 300 is significantly less powerful than the Nissan GT-R. The good news is that, reportedly, cars with lower horsepower engines often have lower insurance premiums.

Powertrain
The Mercedes-Benz CLE 300 has much less torque than the Nissan GT-R, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Mercedes-Benz CLE 300 and the Nissan GT-R.
