Electric luxury SUVs are all the rage in Fairhope, AL, as many drivers are realizing that they don’t have to sacrifice luxury to drive an environmentally friendly vehicle. The new Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV has plush, spacious seating and intuitive tech features, and it can travel 305 miles on a single charge. The new Telsa Model X and Lexus RZ are also electric luxury SUVs with upscale interiors, but they fall short of the EQS SUV when it comes to overall quality. Mercedes-Benz of Mobile created the following comparisons to help you choose between these three vehicles.
Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV vs. Tesla Model X
The new Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV has a futuristic cabin with standard leather upholstery and metal or wood trim. Gulf Shores, AL drivers will appreciate its roomy, relaxing seats, which offer abundant head- and legroom. The new Tesla Model X has a modern, minimalist interior with few flourishes. It comes with synthetic leather upholstery, but people in Orange Beach, MS will find that it isn't as well-built or luxurious as the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV.
The new Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV comes standard with a Hyperscreen glass dashboard that encases a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel, a 17.7-inch infotainment touchscreen, and a 12.3-inch passenger display. Spanish Fort, AL drivers will like the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV’s wealth of standard tech features, including wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, navigation with augmented reality overlay, and a wireless device charging pad. The new Tesla Model X’s infotainment controls seem needlessly complex. You have to adjust almost every setting via the touchscreen because there aren't physical controls on the dashboard. Additionally, the Tesla Model X doesn’t offer Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration.
Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV vs. Lexus RZ
The new Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV comes with a 108.4-kWh battery pack and an electric motor that puts out a combined 355 horsepower and 419 pound-feet of torque. Its optional electric powertrain produces 536 horsepower and 633 pound-feet of torque. People in Pensacola, FL will appreciate that the new Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV can bolt from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds when properly equipped. The new Lexus RZ only offers one powertrain, and it only generates 308 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque.
One of the most important aspects of an electric vehicle is its driving range because you won’t want to have to recharge it too often. Biloxi, MS drivers will like the new Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV’s 305-mile driving range on a full charge when properly equipped. The new Lexus RZ’s maximum driving range is just 220 miles on a single charge.
