2023 Mercedes-Benz EQS vs. Tesla X
2023 Mercedes-Benz EQS vs. Tesla X
Overview
If you're in the market for an all-electric SUV, you have several options, including the 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQS and the Tesla X. At first glance, these two SUVs seem to have a lot in common. But take a closer look, and you'll see why the EQS is the better option.
Efficiency
The 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQS can go between 285 and 305 miles on a fully charged battery, depending on what model you choose. That's slightly less than the Tesla X, which can go between 333 and 348 miles. However, the EQS' battery capacity is 108.4 kWh, while the Tesla X's battery capacity is only 100 kWh.
The EQS is compatible with DC fast chargers located at ChargePoint and EVGo charge stations. If you drive a Tesla X and want to take advantage of fast charging, you have to use one of Tesla's proprietary Supercharger stations, which limits your charging options.
Connectivity
The 2023 Mercedes-Benz wirelessly integrates with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, making it easy to connect your preferred smart device to stream music, get navigation assistance, and make hands-free phone calls. The Tesla X, like all Tesla vehicles, does not offer Apple CarPlay or Android Auto because Tesla writes its own software for its infotainment system. This can make it more difficult to access your favorite apps and enjoy hands-free phone functionality unless you purchase an add-on device.
As you can see, the 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQS has much more to offer than the 2023 Tesla X. Test-drive the EQS today to experience if for yourself.
