What's the difference?
The EQE53 SUV is Mercedes-AMG's first fully-electric SUV.
That means it doesn't have a thundering V8 like a lot of its petrol-powered AMG siblings, but what it lacks in ear-splitting noise it makes up for in colossal but quietly delivered shove.
Which, when you have a sleeping child in the back, is exactly what you might need, because this after all is a family review and we're testing how good this silent beast of an SUV is when it comes to family duties.
The Lexus RX500h F Sport Performance is the flagship model for the RX line-up.
It’s a deceptively large SUV and it has some serious heavy-hitting luxury rivals; like the BMW X5 xDrive45e and the Mercedes-Benz GLE450. The new RX has been revamped, restyled and retooled, so how does it compete?
Read on to see what’s new and what my little family of three thought of it!
The Mercedes-AMG EQE53 SUV has some serious tech inside and will fit the family in style. If you're after the AMG experience, you may be a little disappointed as this model leans heavily towards plush rather than sports-SUV. And it does plush extremely well but it begs the question whether the AMG factor is worth the extra cash.
The Lexus RX500h F Sport Performance certainly gave a solid driving performance this week. I was comfortable behind the wheel and enjoyed the luxe features up front. I feel that it's missing some luxe items in the back seat and some of the family storage options that other large SUVs can have but otherwise, it suited my family’s needs. The fuel efficiency was quite surprising for a hybrid, so this gets a 7.0/10 from me.
My son really liked the panoramic roof and his high seating position. So, he gives this an 8.0/10.
