Best EV Car – New Electric Car Reviews

I drove the BMW i7 & AMG EQS until they DIED!

It's time to discover which luxury electrical will take you the additional – the 53, or the i7!

We have actually got Mat and Daniel (the speaker from @carwowDeutschland) in both of these cars and trucks, they have actually been totally charged, and they're going to drive them continually up a British motorway until the batteries are completely diminished!

So let's see how the two compare. Beginning with the , we have actually got the top-of-the-range 53. As an outcome it comes equipped with two electrical motors that can produce 658hp and 950Nm of torque. Nevertheless, this vehicle likewise has a ₤ 9,000 efficiency pack added to it, so the power output has actually been increased to 750hp and 1,020 Nm!

The EQS is also equipped with a 107.8 kWh battery pack that is good for a claimed series of 357 miles. Naturally, it's quite heavy, weighing in at 2,580 kg, and an AMG EQS fitted with the ₤ 9,000 efficiency pack will cost around ₤ 170,000.

Next up we have the . It's the 760i edition, and similar to the EQS it's also equipped with two motors. The power output is 544hp and 745Nm of torque. It's much heavier than the EQS, at 2,640 kg, and it has a 102kWh battery pack that benefits a claimed range of 385 miles. Offered it's not the i7M (which isn't offered to purchase yet), it's less expensive than the EQS, beginning with ₤ 110,000.

So which will go further – the BMW, or the AMG? Remark with your guess, then sit back and see which wins!

      @Purwanti Allan my Audi TT from 2006 has done 245.000 km’s so far, still no signs of giving up. An electric car basically gives up at about 180.000 due to the battery needing to be replaced.

      In my MY22 Q7 (liquid gold powered), I find that the fingerprints wipe off VERY EASILY with even a dry microfibre cloth. The piano black is more of an issue due to how easily it scratches. (the screens don’t scratch)

      they making it up as they go along now because theres still a bunch of people who get a kick out of financing something that they cannot afford full stop. because they ignore figures till the courts order them to pay it all back they dont care about another £11 grand. My mate has a spanking new base model 911 and was tapping me money for his wine for the fishing trip we done. He knows its all fake and will end in tears as he asked me not to tell anyone, he didnt want anyone else to know he was living paycheck to paycheck with a Porsche in his driveway. This is common too as i got told of a McLaren 720 owner i know needed to tap his dad and brother to take his wife and daughter on a 3day trip to IOM.

    Personally I think the range should be taken as that which can be achieved *before* the car goes into any kind of tortoise mode.

      If you can’t hit roads speed limit it’s over. Tortoise mode normally reduced power, which is fine. Most cars only need about 50kw to reach legal speeds so they have plenty to reduce from before hitting that.

      its weird how the electric guys claim electric is faster yet the electric cars are on the motorway getting overtaken by trucks limited to 56mph. ohh and considering how many Tesla are on UK roads, WHY is it they are the most frequently seen broken down car on our hard shoulders? well Tesla, Audi & BMW usually.

    That i7 with the optional rear screen and seating upgrade is simply stunning. Absolutely love it. Im actually more impressed with it after watching this video. That Merc seems like they have ploughed £100k into making the front screen and skimpt on everything else can’t believe the poor build quality in a £180k motor is simply pathetic, and yet still putting in faux leather interiors in there is simply criminal at this price level…. Can’t imagine who would buy one?!

      I agree, the EQS in the flesh looks terrible and very cheap looking. Extremely underwhelming and doesn’t feel anything like a Mercedes

    I agree that EQS was interesting when it came out, right now it’s very boring, and also I agree about the BMW the impression has grown with time as we get used to it, the same story was with Beaver-teeth M3/M4. I’m just worried that the new XM and M2 will never get to that point 😆

    Funnily enough I agree that I have gone off the EQS and the I7 has grown on me. The BMW looks like a proper car for this level of money.

    So the EQS didn’t have to look like that to get great range. Nice to know.

    You should do one of these tests with plug-in hybrids to see how much their claimed vs actual electric-only mode ranges are!

    The inly thing BMW should takes notes of is that you apparently can integrate your screens in the car nicely and you don’t need to simply stick it onto the dashboard
