How does it compare?
Mercedes Vision EQXX is a beacon of German engineering finesse, but how does it stack up against its adversaries in the same class? Let’s rev the engines and delve into the showdown with Tesla Model S Plaid, Lucid Air, Porsche Taycan Turbo, and BMW i4.
Range
Ah, the sweet elixir of range—a realm where the Mercedes Vision EQXX flexes its muscles with a staggering 1000 km (621 miles). Compare this titan to the Tesla Model S Plaids meager 390 miles (627 km); it feels like comparing a marathon to a spring dash. The Lucid Air breathes down its neck with a robust 520 miles (837 km), but thats still a lap behind. Meanwhile, the Porsche Taycan Turbo and the BMW i4 bring up the rear with 283 miles (456 km) and 300 miles (483 km) respectively. In the universe of range anxiety, the EQXX remains the valium of electric roadsters.
Acceleration
In the realm of 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) dashes, though, the Mercedes Vision EQXX takes a sabbatical, clocking in at 7 seconds. The Tesla Model S Plaid, meanwhile, is practically a blur—doing the same in a scant 1.99 seconds. Lucid Air brings respectable flair with 2.5 seconds, and the Porsche Taycan Turbo follows closely at 2.8 seconds. Even the BMW i4 shows more pep, charting 3.8 seconds. Here, it’s clear the EQXX prefers a more leisurely Sunday cruise.
Power
Under the hood, the tale gets even more intriguing. The Mercedes Vision EQXX comes with 201 horsepower (150 kW), enough for efficient jaunts but not face-melting drag races. Contrast this with the fire-spewing 1020 horsepower (761 kW) on the Tesla Model S Plaid. The Lucid Airs 1111 horsepower (828 kW) could tow a small planet. The Porsche Taycan Turbo isn’t far behind at 670 horses (500 kW), and the BMW i4 offers a more modest yet sporty 536 horsepower (399 kW). Here, the EQXX is like a refined gentleman amidst muscle-bound gladiators.
Charging Time
When it comes to recharging these technologically savvy beasts, time is money. The Mercedes Vision EQXX slips back again, requiring approximately 10 hours on a Level 2 charger (or 2 hours for 80% via fast charging). Contrast this with the Tesla Model S Plaid, which can gobble up 80% juice in just 20 minutes. The Lucid Air and Porsche Taycan Turbo arent far off, sipping up a similar charge in about 30 minutes. The BMW i4 finishes a tad later at 34 minutes for an 80% charge. When the stopwatch comes out, the EQXX prefers a more leisurely refill.
Price
Finally, the lucre—our hard-earned shekels. The Mercedes Vision EQXX has a rather princely sum: $140,000, £105,000, or €120,000. By comparison, the Tesla Model S Plaid sits around $129,990, £94,990, €109,970. For the Lucid Air, you’ll need deeper pockets at $169,000, £129,000, or €145,000. The Porsche Taycan Turbo takes its position at around $150,900, £115,800, or €132,000, while the more attainable BMW i4 starts at $65,900, £55,405, or €59,500. Clearly, the EQXX is not for the shallow of pocket nor the faint of heart.
