These two all-electric sedans are among the most expensive, technologically advanced and luxurious electric vehicles on the market. But which one most successfully represents the pinnacle of EV design? Experts compared the i7 and EQS to find out.
DRIVING RANGE & CHARGING
The EQS ‘ most efficient 450+ trim level boasts an impressive EPA-estimated driving range of 350 miles on a full charge. Even better, it easily surpassed that estimate by driving 422 miles on real-world range test. Drivers has tested other EQS versions and found they all can go farther than their EPA estimates.
For 2023, the i7 comes in just one version: the xDrive60. It has an EPA-estimated driving range of up to 318 miles. The test car had an estimated range of 308 miles and managed to go 320 miles in the real-world test. BMW will be coming out with a 2024 eDrive50 version that should have even more maximum range, but no estimates were available at the time of our article’s publication.
If you’re traveling out of town or need to top up the battery, an appropriate DC fast-charging station can charge the EQS from 10% to 80% capacity in about 31 minutes. The i7 can charge a little quicker, but not enough to make a significant difference.
Both sedans are impressive, but the EQS gets the win here by way of its longer range.
Winner: Mercedes EQS
