Genesis GV70 vs Mercedes-Benz Eqc400

What's the difference?

The Genesis GV70 Electrified Signature Performance has had a meaningful update, and it’s not just a light refresh. 

This latest version brings significant improvements to technology, safety, and design.

With only one grade available, this review looks at whether it’s the smart choice for anyone wanting to step into a luxury electric medium SUV.

The Mercedes-Benz EQC has been on sale in Australia for a little while now, and aside from the local launch event we haven’t had a chance to spend any quality time with the brand’s first fully electric SUV. Until now.

The EQC 400, as it’s officially known, is the German luxury maker’s first foray into the full-EV landscape, and could arguably be seen as the first true luxury electric SUV on sale in Australia. I mean, yeah, there’s the Jaguar i-Pace, but it has a more premium-sporting intent than the EQC, and the Tesla Model X isn’t aimed at a luxury customer, more so a technologically-minded buyer.

So what’s the Merc EQC like to actually live with? We drove it for a week to find out.
