- It’s time to find out which luxury electric car will take you the further - the Mercedes-AMG EQS 53, or the BMW i7!
We’ve got Mat and Daniel (the presenter from @carwowDeutschland) in both of these cars, they’ve been fully charged, and they’re going to drive them continuously up a British motorway until the batteries are fully depleted!
So let’s see how the two compare. Starting with the Mercedes, we’ve got the top-of-the-range Mercedes-AMG EQS 53. As a result it comes equipped with two electric motors that can produce 658hp and 950Nm of torque. However, this car also has a £9,000 performance pack added to it, so the power output has been increased to 750hp and 1,020Nm!
The EQS is also equipped with a 107.8kWh battery pack that is good for a claimed range of 357 miles. Naturally, it’s pretty heavy, weighing in at 2,580kg, and an AMG EQS fitted with the £9,000 performance pack will cost around £170,000.
Next up we have the BMW. It’s the 760i edition, and just like the EQS it’s also equipped with two motors. The power output is 544hp and 745Nm of torque. It’s heavier than the EQS, at 2,640kg, and it has a 102kWh battery pack that’s good for a claimed range of 385 miles. Given it’s not the i7M (which isn’t available to buy yet), it’s cheaper than the EQS, starting from £110,000.
So which will go further - the BMW, or the AMG? Comment with your guess, then sit back and see which wins!

I can't tell you why but these EV range tests are just so entertaining to watch
It's about the fear in the eyes of the driver - many movies are made about it - who will be the survivor? EV Panem games ...
wdym you can't tell why? it's clear is'nt it, it's a simple challenge go as far as possible
@@Lora_Beolab the car is underrated.
@@bavariancarenthusiast2722 the EV Panamera is way more underrated than i7.
Same here buddy
Limiting the speed at near-zero range is a smart idea because it (should) force you to get off the freeway and onto smaller roads where an abrupt loss of power (and going into neutral) won't nearly be as dangerous
“We’re not gonna use the adaptive cruise control cause it accelerates unnecessarily sometimes” LOOK HOW FAST IT ACCELERATES LET ME PUT IT INTO SPORT PLUS PLUS MODE AND FLOOR IT WAAAHHHHH 😂
"This is a range test, we are gonna drive the cars normally" - Mat. Proceeds to instantly floor it...
Exactly, whats the point of listing the rules if you are going to break them. I learned nothing from this vudeo other than "which one feels quicker and what sounds they make".
You never floor it while driving to work if you need to get around a truck or a terrible driver
@@alexamayeobu9460 well thats fortunate.
@@Aflooos the EQS imo has better reliability than Audi TT 2007.
@@purwantiallan5089 my Audi TT from 2006 has done 245.000 km’s so far, still no signs of giving up. An electric car basically gives up at about 180.000 due to the battery needing to be replaced.
I think I like the 'until they died' series more than the drag races these days.
Yep agreed!
nooooooo a big no
@@bsjddjk yes... go watch drag races
@@bavariancarenthusiast2722 between a car that does 0-60 in 3s and 300 miles of range, and 0-60 in 6s and 600 miles of range, guess what I would choose. 🤗🤔
@@bsjddjk me too a BIG NO. Drag Races are still miles above this.
To be honest the range was much better than I expected. That’s around 485km on a full charge. That’s pretty much the same as a V8 twin turbo car. However I’m sure that range will drop rapidly if you drive like 160-200kmh on the autobahn for a longer time. And that’s exactly what these big limousines are built for. So that would be interesting to see.
From my experience,when you go above 120km/h, the comsumption goes up about 10-15% depending on the car. But if you go above 150km/h, it's about 30% more. so if you go 160, i imagine these cars would do just over 200 miles of range.
yeah, good point, I won't drop that kind of cash on a car, just to drive like a geriatric...
A V8 twin turbo on the motorway in the UK will easily do 800km on a tank (60-65l).
@@alexandermenck6609 Bro I drive a C250 and it does 720km MAXIMUM with 65l tank. And I drive mostly highway and not sporty at all.
800km? No way. It'll do 400
Imagine having paid £170k and then having to q up behind a Leaf at a charger
The fingerprints on that AMG dash will be insane after a week.
a week? 10 minutes
It's already having a lot of issues, with customers complaining
Dust particles. It would make my OCD kick off
In my MY22 Q7 (liquid gold powered), I find that the fingerprints wipe off VERY EASILY with even a dry microfibre cloth. The piano black is more of an issue due to how easily it scratches. (the screens don't scratch)
All modern cars are junk bar a few Japanese ones. Anyone in denial of this is NOT a mechanic or is easily conned by branding.
So the EQS didn't have to look like that to get great range. Nice to know.
Exactly, one would think it makes sense but apparently not so much.
I’m afraid your journey ends here, traveler.
Both EQE and EQS are super ugly.
@@Jorsten YES! I love the normal old ICE mercedes design, but the EV's.. would never want one based on design.
@@Jorsten Make no mistake, the EQA and EQC are also hideous.
What happened after you stopped the Murk, is that the battery at the chemical-physical level "recovered" a bit. That's not a hidden reserve. Regarding the battery's expected lifetime, completely running it down to 0% charge in reality (rather than specifications) likely counts as much more than one discharge-recharge cycle.
The AMG has over 200hp more, so ofc it won’t drive as Long. It is also way quicker than the i7. He did also floor the AMG several times
Cope
Mat: "Let's not use adaptive cruise since it can brake/accelerate unnecessarily and that's not great for range"
Also Mat 10 seconds later: *Floors it several times in a row unnecessarily"
and then switching cars so he could win
😂😂😂

The i7 is a hideous monstrosity, but it still looks completely gorgeous compared to the blob that is the EQS.
the eqs is beautiful...

Fantastic video! Really enjoyed this one. Keep up the good work!
0:50, that rear wheel steering looks trippy
Funnily enough I agree that I have gone off the EQS and the I7 has grown on me. The BMW looks like a proper car for this level of money.
I agree, the sight of the I7 made me sick until I saw it in real life and it's actually very nice and looks grand/expensive
Agree. Having seen a few EQS on the road it looks more E-class when Merc were aiming for an EV S-class. The i7 is nice.
The thing with the EQS lineup is that the cheapest one is also the one with the longest range, its almost 100 miles MORE than the EQS 53 you tested
Just like normal e class amg and e200
It's always like this
That grill at the front of the BMW makes it impossible to even look at!!!
It’s due too the range calculation method. If you have a less powerful engine, the calculated range is higher. However the aero and battery pack is the same. So if you were to drive both at the same time at the same speed, the range will be very similar.
@@janikmertens9425normal e class amg...?....there are no amgs made anymore😂😂😂😂....not real ones...this is crap
I like the fact that when Mat started going again, you could see the breakdown van waiting to charge them up again.
Hey Carwow and Mr. Watson I just wanted to say I like your videos were you test numerous amount of cars. I wanted a request. Is there any possibility where you can compare this i7, amg eqs, taycan etc in the mileage test if you don’t mind?
0:49 The rear wheel steering on the Mercedes is excellent 👌
Yep. The rear wheel steering of the EQS looked like Benneton B195.
@@purwantiallan5089 That... is very specific.
Me : I can't get to the interview in time
Mercedes on 0percent : Yup we done.
BMW 0percent : I gotchu bro.
I love these reviews. MY co-workers and I debate just how much you can really get out of an electric car. Can you do a follow-up review? Find some electric cars that have been out there for a few years and test the range on them. We need to know how long the battery lasts under regular use.
You should have put the BMW on eco pro instead of comfort. Improves range by 13%
That's the problem with the grill.. it just grows.. grows on everything.. it's like a fungi just growing and growing everywhere :P
That's exactly how Thomas and James from Throttle House described the 7 Series.
I belive you don't have a clue about the history of the bmw , look in the past , 40/50. Cars , huge grills
@@bratosin1 I was primarily making a joke about the comment that the design "has grown on me" thing 😅

@@abdur-jalil well it has grown to me.
@Abdur Rahman Jalil the bmw of 1930/1940 use to have huge grills , but the people doesn't know the history of the bmw , actually the small grills was a big change in the history of the bmw 80/90/2000 , now they just return at the original logo of the bmw ( just modern look)
I don't understand the highway code. We know you can't use your mobile phone whilst driving, or even have a sandwich. But you can operate a walkie talkie one handed and play with your touch screen dashboard all day!
We are having a EQS 450 4matic right now and the consumption is awesome. Our overall consumption is on 9600km 23kwh. Often my dad drives and he is not pushing the car but you have to mention the 2.7t.
After he is done explaining the rules, he proceeds to break them.. great way for fair results lol
The best thing Clarkson did on Top Gear was the Audi A8 diesel episode when he drove it from London to Scotland and back on one tank.
Absolutely, that was also a 3 litre twin turbo Diesel. Even Audi said what he was attemping was impossible, however it did it. My 07 passat estate b6 2.0 TDI full of tools and ladders on the roof manages over 700 plus to a tank.
@@digitsictsolutions3790 DS DS3 66 plate / 1.6 diesel / 48L tank - 650 miles in one full and probably can get to 700(till will run out at all of diesel) - meanwhile, I’ve got another DS3 19 plate - 1.2petrol and can get 380(max) out a full tank ( maybe 400..)
I did the same with i7
Personally I think the range should be taken as that which can be achieved *before* the car goes into any kind of tortoise mode.
If you can’t hit roads speed limit it’s over. Tortoise mode normally reduced power, which is fine. Most cars only need about 50kw to reach legal speeds so they have plenty to reduce from before hitting that.
I've found the merc fan
its weird how the electric guys claim electric is faster yet the electric cars are on the motorway getting overtaken by trucks limited to 56mph. ohh and considering how many Tesla are on UK roads, WHY is it they are the most frequently seen broken down car on our hard shoulders? well Tesla, Audi & BMW usually.
@@bigduphusaj162 the only thing weird is your approach to information and disinformation. Just get better at it already, it’s getting annoying.
@@bigduphusaj162 I've never seen an EV broken down on the hard shoulder or whatever, always ICE cars. Not a fan of EVs myself (will only get one when I have to) but you're talking 💩
I met an EQE driver halfway between Gothenburg and Stockholm once, who claimed he could easily drive between those two cities (500k) without recharging during the summer. He said his speed would be around 120kmh and that he would have 10% battery left when he got home. Kind of hard to believe considering your results.
Good to see car wow getting early access. Unbiased review with no click bait or gotchas. Tesla seems to address all the rattles this time, hoping I don't have to take apart the car again.😅
You should do one of these tests with plug-in hybrids to see how much their claimed vs actual electric-only mode ranges are!
Especially land rovers
The KIA Optima went around 30km with power still left when I had one for loan. Claimed is around 50-60.
and then measure MPG when there is no battery power.
@@AndrewTSqI had one for almost 4 years. It would do 45-50km when new and about 40-45km in year 4.
This is in Scotland. In Spain it would do closer to 50km in year 4.
I now have a new MB c300e which has a claimed range of 110km. It does around 95-100 in Scottish summer and ~90km in Scottish "winter".
In Spain in the summer, however it consistently does 115-120km and anything between 100 and 115 in the Spanish "winter". I was positively surprised by the c class.
Hi, EQS 580 would be the true test competitor of the i7 60. I think not the amg version
Nice review. Surprised that bmw was able to do more. The regular EQS450+ can do 450+ miles though
£28 000 for a rear seat upgrade!?😳 Did Mat make a mistake
“Executive Pack - £11,025 “ is the most expensive I see in the configuration process.
they making it up as they go along now because theres still a bunch of people who get a kick out of financing something that they cannot afford full stop. because they ignore figures till the courts order them to pay it all back they dont care about another £11 grand. My mate has a spanking new base model 911 and was tapping me money for his wine for the fishing trip we done. He knows its all fake and will end in tears as he asked me not to tell anyone, he didnt want anyone else to know he was living paycheck to paycheck with a Porsche in his driveway. This is common too as i got told of a McLaren 720 owner i know needed to tap his dad and brother to take his wife and daughter on a 3day trip to IOM.

The inly thing BMW should takes notes of is that you apparently can integrate your screens in the car nicely and you don’t need to simply stick it onto the dashboard
I think its still better than the EQS, having a huge, unsymmetrical piece of glass with two randomly placed screens with huge bezels around them

I run my i7 in Efficiency mode always and consistently get 340 to 370 miles down to 10% charge.

Honestly, the design of the EQS is actually growing on me. Looks way more sleek and chique in comparison to the I7. The new BMW designs are just for the fast money type of people.
The G70 BMW i7 continues to impress me yet again
I agree that EQS was interesting when it came out, right now it's very boring, and also I agree about the BMW the impression has grown with time as we get used to it, the same story was with Beaver-teeth M3/M4. I'm just worried that the new XM and M2 will never get to that point 😆
BMW has been like this for over the past 20 years. Nearly all of their models have been hated at launch compared to their predecessors. And the 1 series and original M2 got a lot of hate from BMW fans when they were first released. Of course they all grew to become very popular models.
I've dropped BMW on their design 'capabilities' a very long time ago.
The EQS was never interesting.
The rear wheel steer on the Mercedes is great it turned as much as front nearly
How is the visibility of the side mirror in the BMW when the front passenger seat is put forward for the „first class mode“ of the back seat?

The rear screen of the BMW looked like from Daihatsu OFC-1 2007 Model.
Only £27,000 🤣
Probably you are rapper 😂, what an ugly style with metre screen. Oo yes, you can watch your serries 😂😂
I'd like to know how long they then took to charge both cars back up to over 90% battery on a super charger? how much that would cost vs doing it at home on a normal electric socket? Time/Cost
Who wants to see these series continuing with petrol cars🤩⁉️🔥👍
Daniel!! I miss him on this channel, great attitude, funny, knowledgeable! More of him please!
They should have a timer. Once it's almost dead just cut power 50% ,limit speed to 35mph( so people don't kill themselves) and start a 3 minute countdown, that's gonna at least prepare drivers for the complete shutdown . They can pull over in the last 5 seconds, or hurry up to a charger.
Love your videos Mat, but you really need some better cameras, especially for the closeup shots. Cheers!
So what is the equivalent diesel or petrol Mercedes car and weight. Just thinking 2580 kgs in material alone compared to equivalent petrol or diesel. Including the i7 at 2640kgs. Thoughts?
I absolutely always drive in the motorway doing pulls in sport+ mode 😂
Yes, that's funny. Over 50 years ago, a stand-up comedian in my country emigrated to Germany because "we" did not think he was funny. "There" he was experienced as very funny and when he died he almost got a state funeral. So, now let's go to Germany, where these two are driving these cars.
In the ICE alternative for these cars, on the German motorway ("Autobahn"), their drivers would be on the left-most lane only, drive 250 km/h as long as possible, blink their high beam lights when a slower car is in their way, slow down when there is a speed limit (e.g imposed to suppress noise towards a domestic area near that road), and as soon as the limit is lifted accelerate again. They might have removed the 250 km/h limit one way or another and chances are they want to race another car in their league. As these cars are expensive relative to modal, the drivers think they "own" the road and everybody has to move to the slower lane for them. It's the German form of "polite" that feels very aggressive when you did not grow up in that. E.g. in the wider "Ruhr" (river) area, there is a lot of wealth and you'll frequently be blinked by drivers of supercars trying to do 300 km/h or so.
One of the airports in the Ruhr region, decades ago, had to modify the setup of their Air Traffic Control (ATC) radar system for low flying aircraft (like helicopters) because every time these supercars drove by, they popped up as a helicopter or so, in the ATC system and ATC agents tried to contact that thing. To no effect.
Because the German motorways are rather crowded, have maintenance works that reduce the numbers of cars that can pas a section per minute, there are traffic jams frequently. Travel from, say, Hamburg (DE) to the Basel (CH) border - about 800 km - and you would be slowed down by some 20 road maintenance stretches, some of which come in clusters. Whatever speed your car can do, you will end up nearer Google Maps's assumption of 8 hours for the trip that probably applies the "German advised maximum speed of 130 km/h" than a lot faster. (Google should give me an option to set the maximum speed I want to drive, where allowed.)
Experience with the AMG badge leads me to assuming the driver goes about as fast (aggressive in another culture) as possible, accelerates and slows down maybe every minute, and when possible tries to race another "fast" car.
In the beginning of the video, the Wh/km of the AMG is some 3.6 times as bad as a Tesla on a hard day - both in an English polite driving style. There are lots of exceptions to this prejudice, though, where people peacefully drive these cars in a modal mode.
It's a bit like trying to get as fast as possible as far as possible with a Bugatti Veyron. That at 400 km/h burns through its tank of fossil fuel in 12 minutes (= 80km/100 litres = 80km/1000 kWh = 12.5 kWh/km as 1 litre equals 10 kWh). Imagine you started with new tyres. So you fill the tank again and start your next stretch at 400 km/h. You cannot complete the 12 minutes because your tyres are wasted after 20 minutes at that speed.
Car Wow: let’s compare the range on these.
Matt: Let’s floor it!
LMFAO 🤣
Hi, were the cars been driven the same speed? Same path?
I need to see this with a Model S. Similar features, but more range and more performance.
Model S is lighter as it has way less kit and is way less luxurious. Adding luxury also adds weight and affects range.
Love the fact Hans Zimmer did the sounds on the BMW 😂 did the music for some incredible movie including my favourite, The Dark Knight 🔥👌🏽
That i7 looks really nice wow
Yep. But still 6.5/10 for me.
Idk but I think Matt needs to floor the EQS a little harder during the range test
The new BMWs look like angry squirrels with their two teeth sticking out the mouth.
Awesome 😎 video thanks Matt
Would be nice if the lucid air was also in this range test
I saw one today I'm sure it gets more but not sure what percentage of their claimed ranged.
These kinds of videos have got me more into this channel now for some reason
I think in the current situation that electric cars are more practical for city driving and day trips, for longer distances it still makes more sense to have an ice
Hi Matt cool vidios keep it up
The back of the i7 reminds me of a opel (vauxhall) omega after the facelift. But its really nice! The i7 looks way better than the merc
Clean your eyes
The biggest problem is Eqs doesn’t have heat pump while i7 has it. Eqs handle cold conditions much worse than all other EVs. I guess Mat doesn’t know when EQS AC on ECO mode will have much lower consumption.
Which car was in front for the most of the time ?
Because the car at the back has a toll and it is more efficent.
If this is what electric cars are going to look like in the future, I want no part in it.
You can’t afford one 😢
@@jeremybarfour-awuah4179 And the ICE vehicles are going to similar path too.
@@jeremybarfour-awuah4179 interesting, how do you know what I can and can’t afford?
I'm not in the market for an electric car, but if I was, I'd definitely be grateful for these videos when I had to pick one.
What! for the price of a small semi Oop North?
If the seat anambra is a standard home iron then the eqs is a GIANT travel iron. The BMW has an odd shape but can't quite place it yet.
What is the battery life of these cars and what is the cost of replacing them? What is the price of repairing such a car if we accidentally damage the battery pack, and can it be done at a normal car mechanic once the warranty on such a car runs out?
EQS has such a unique look in person. I7 isn’t nearly as bad in person either
I7 and EQS are 8.1/10.
Both do have unique looks. It's all based on personal taste I suppose. I've seen the EQS at a Target and a Saltgrass and I saw the i7 on the freeway and at At Home. The i7 gets my vote because it's a bold look and you can point it out as a BMW from anywhere. I also own an M550i and really enjoy BMW performance, design language, and the features.
Both are uniquely hideous, but the EQS was designed by a blind person.
The EQS looks like a Honda Civic of old.
i7 despite it's polarizing design has incredible road presence. EQS on the other hand looks weak and silly.
In my experience for electric cars on average, NEDC you only get 70-80% of claimed and WLTP you get around 80-90% of claimed. The ev database real world range is most accurate I've come across
It seems BMW built the i7 for the studio execs in LA. I see them all over the place in Studio City. From Sherman Oaks to Glendale you cant miss them all. That ultra-wide screen is fantastic
screens are hideous. Just an excuse for these manufacturers to cut costs. Its just plastic, a nice metal button or knob would be nice with an integrated screen.
Idk why i like these videos about electric cars when their batteries are depleted
I absolutely love the i7. Particularly the exterior. The headlights are great in my opinion.
It's got character
The exterior is slowly growing on me like every current BMW model aside from the new 2 Series. The interior though is amazing.
@@snakeeyes9246 Yeah I’m a fan of most of the new models too. The M2 and the XM though? No.
@@CyclingGeo I think people who dislike them have never seen them in person.
@@MuppetsSh0w Yeah context really helps. The M2 is a great example. I personally really dislike it but I recently saw a photograph of one in red and not that atrocious baby blue-it actually doesn’t look that bad.
I would love to see this challenge done with petrol/diesel cars. What happens in when combustion engines hit 0 range?
They stop running. No fuel to ignite = no combustion.
Then they start flying
They hit the end of their range at nearly 2x the range of EVs
They too drive for many miles. Watch the top gear episode on it
No one in their right mind would ever do that or never need to do that.
Super thanks mat carwow man
You set up Daniel quite well. Smash around Merc at the start and jumped in Bmw. Cheeky Bugger 😅
Is that..a rev counter on the EQS?..can't see the £170k tho
True
Been waiting for this test a long time. Thank you Carwow 🎉
Yeah the question is what real damage iff any to the batterie iff you push it untill it has no power at all.?
11 1/2 minutes at 750HP (=559 kW) would completely drain the Murk's battery (in the AMG version with this performance pack). How many hours from 100% to 0%? That gives your average actual kW if you divide the kWh in the battery by the time you drove.
What is also interesting, is to know how many kWh are needed to get the car's battery at 100% again - there are losses in this process and a.o. the efficiency of the car's charging circuits impact how good or bad the difference will be. And likely the composition of the batteries and packs too.
Daniel is just the best presenter to get! Great choice for the german channel and love to see him here too as well! There's a couple other good guys but very fine choice!
Both over 300 miles of (motorway) range. Quite decent and usable. Somehow the EQS does not look great on images or videos but I like it in real life. It is a serious piece of kit.
Yes that’s exactly what I thought about the EQS. It has much more presence in real life, which is weird because on photos or in videos it looks like a basic car. I really like what Mercedes did to the EQS and I really don’t like the hate that it gets from many people. Most of them haven’t even seen an EQS in reallife.
@@jessebeekmans0908 I've seen quite a few in real life and every time I almost walked right past it. It's alright-looking but has absolutely no presence.

When the I7 moves the seat forward, does it completely block the wing mirror for the driver?
Have you done petrol range test to compare the difference between an ev and petrol same make and model
I imagine the Mercedes would’ve traveled an extra mile or two if Matt didn’t mess about while he was driving it
