Jonathan – Your article is lacking a significant piece of data. The mileage you’re quoting for the EQE sedan is specifically rated for the WLTP cycle. EPA ratings will be lower with the SUV being lower yet.
Will be great to see comparisons on how the EQE SUV rates versus the Lyriq. Visually from my perspective, the Lyriq is far more attractive. Especially where the interior isn’t nearly as flashy and obnoxious in the Lyriq.
Well I’m still not impressed, so I’ll stick with my Lyriq . Also if I wanted all that height adjustment and the other not essential to the car safety.
If I wanted that I would buy a sports car, I want elegance so that’s why I ordered my 24 Lyriq!
Peace Out
I have seen the EQS close up. It’s starting price is $110,000. For that price I can buy the Cadillac Lyriq and have spare change to buy a used XT5. M-B is too much for us, but those foolish import lovers can waste their money as they wish.
Yawn…….
I have a 2022 Lyriq coming in a few weeks. I order it several mos. ago , that EQS has nothing on it, you do not compare an apple with an ugli fruit or an orange.The Lyriq is the apple of my eye.
The interior is nice but the LYRIQ’s interior is on a different level.
If you looked at both interiors, you’d never guess that the cars are about $50,000 apart in price. It’d feel much closer. No way I’d spend $115 on the EQS
