Advantages
- Interior is luxurious with high-quality materials, excellent build quality, and that unmistakable Mercedes premium feel.
- The driving experience is refined and whisper-quiet with smooth power delivery and comfortable ride quality.
- Performance is strong with 408 hp delivering 0-100km/h in 5.1 seconds, faster than most SUVs.
- Ride comfort is excellent with good isolation from bumps and wind noise, making it a relaxing long-distance cruiser.
- Build quality is typical Mercedes with solid construction and materials that feel like they'll last.
Pay Attention
- Range is limited at just 417km which is significantly less than newer electric rivals offering 500km+.
- Weight is substantial at nearly 2.5 tons affecting handling dynamics and tire wear over extended use.
- Price is expensive and production has now ended, making it a less attractive used buy with limited support.
- Charging speed maxes out at 110kW which is slow compared to modern EVs that support 150-200kW+.
- Real-world range can drop significantly in cold weather or at motorway speeds, sometimes below 300km.
