Where each one leads

Chrysler 300

• On Canada's official test the most frugal 2023 Chrysler 300 uses 10.3 l/100 km, the 2016 Hyundai Equus 13.3.

Hyundai Equus

• Against cars of the same year, the Hyundai Equus comes out better in New York safety inspections (fails 55% less often than average) than the Chrysler 300 (fails 5% more often than average).

Only measures that do not depend on how many cars were sold: pass and failure rates against cars of the same age, ratings, fuel use and CO₂. How we compare
