Two cars. One verdict. Three drivers, six hundred miles, and an unscientific but illuminating week of swapping keys at service stations between Newcastle and Penzance.
The BMW i7 xDrive60 and the Mercedes-Benz EQS 580 4MATIC represent the same proposition with diametrically opposed personalities. Both cost roughly £130,000. Both promise four hundred miles of comfortable, silent, occasionally autonomous transport. Only one of them feels finished.
The verdict
The Mercedes is the better car for being driven in. The BMW is the better car for driving. Choose accordingly.
