BMW I7 VS MERCEDES EQS 70-MPH HIGHWAY RANGE TEST

EV Channels Review

In a head-to-head 70-mph highway range test, the BMW i7 eDrive 50 and Mercedes-Benz EQS 450+ were pushed to their limits. The EQS 450+ significantly outperformed the i7, achieving 412 miles compared to the i7's 340 miles. While the i7 offers a supremely quiet and comfortable driving experience, its range and charging performance were noted as significant drawbacks. The EQS, despite its less conventional styling, proved to be the more capable electric vehicle for long-distance travel, demonstrating superior efficiency and a more robust charging curve. Both vehicles were praised for their advanced driver-assistance systems and luxurious interiors, but for buyers prioritizing real-world range, the EQS emerged as the clear winner in this test.
