I drove luxury Tesla rivals from BMW and Mercedes — here's why I'd buy the BMW iX over the competition
The Mercedes-Benz EQS and BMW iX electric SUVs.Both the BMW iX and Mercedes EQS SUV offer up good range and swanky interiors, but I think the iX is the better buy. Not too long ago, if you wanted a big, electric status symbol, a Tesla Model X was your only option.Now, as more automakers are getting serious about ditching gasoline, Elon Musk's firm is far from the only option.Luxury juggernauts BMW and Mercedes both recently launched big, battery-powered family-haulers.
First, some background on the cars I drove. The iX xDrive50 BMW lent me came out to $96,000, including a sporty appearance package and an upgraded interior. The generously optioned EQS 450 4MATIC SUV I sampled came out to a whopping $135,000.Let's start with styling. Both have taken flack for their unconventional designs, but they couldn't look more different.Despite the prominent buck teeth, I'd take the chiseled iX over the tubby EQS SUV.
