CPL stands for Continuous Pressure Laminate. HPL stands for High Pressure Laminate.
“Edelfurnier” is a marketing term that actually means veneer, so the doors are coated with a very thin layer of wood (similar to laminate).
You can’t make any definitive statements about quality because there is good substrate material and poor substrate material, both for floors and doors. But if you don’t choose a solid wood door, they are usually laminated.
The question you should ask is which doors from which manufacturers are installed. Are they cheap, poorly sound-insulating doors from hardware stores, or better ones from reputable manufacturers?
Laminate flooring can cost as little as 5€/m² (about $0.50/sq ft) or up to 50€/m² (about $5/sq ft)… you get what you pay for.

Otherwise, honeycomb core (cardboard) is also used by brand manufacturers. All doors provide good privacy 🙂, but it depends on the intended use.
Honeycomb: Only for privacy.
Hollow-core chipboard strips: Inexpensive, not significantly better.
Hollow-core chipboard panel: Versatile, recommended.
Solid core: Quite heavy, three-piece hinges, not always practical.
With aluminum insert: For blocking off unheated rooms. Expensive.
And of course glass, solid wood...
As mentioned, the prefix “Edel” is just marketing. CPL surfaces are easier to clean, but even there quality varies. A door only becomes really expensive with a glass insert.
