BMW i7 vs Mercedes EQS: Which Is The KING Of Luxury

[Mani59]

Rory from Auto Trader takes a look at which is the king of luxury - the i7 60 or Mercedes-Benz EQS 53.

I am starting to question this dude's assessment of cars. Nobody likes EQS and Mercedes dealers having fire sale to get rid of them but he says its driver's car, quieter etc. I haven't driven an EQS but if it was such a good car that this guy say it is, it would have been received differently in the market.

I had an EQS 580 for a while and really liked it. There were certain things about the software I didn’t like and the steering was way too light but overall it was great.

I still prefer my 760 though.

And there have been LOTS of reviews that specifically praise the i7 vs the EQS in those same areas

Highway driving and in town driving , comparing your prior EQS to your 760 , do you find any difference in ride quality and wind noise? Interesting how in the video they mention the EQS is quieter, but on my subjective test drive I can say the i7 has a better ride quality than my current daily driver EQS 580, not worse.

My 760 is quieter but I didn’t have the acoustic windows on my EQS. The difference isn’t that big. Ride quality I much prefer BMW, seems more composed. I did have a suspension issue on the EQS that was scheduled to be fixed under warranty but sold it before it was replaced.

i wonder if the EQS has also the same amount of minor issues like the i7...

has anyone experience here? (haven't been to a EQS forum yet...)

Can only speak to the one I had but no. Software was a lot more stable (over the weekend my 760 started turning off WiFi by itself which disables CarPlay and the Mobile Hotspot, took me a while to figure this out). In fact, apart from the suspension issue I had which was about to get fixed before I sold it it was pretty much perfect. And range was FAR superior to the Model X I had before. Like way way better.
