I drove luxury SUV's from Rivian and Mercedes — here's why I'd go with the startup over the competition
- I drove two awesome new electric SUVs: the Rivian R1S and the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV.
- They're both stunning in different ways, but I'd pick the Rivian if given the choice.
- The R1S is rugged and loaded with cutting-edge features, while the EQS SUV delivers old-school luxury and total comfort.
On the face of it, the Rivian R1S and Mercedes-Benz EQS may seem pretty similar.
