I drove luxury Tesla rivals from BMW and Mercedes — here's why I'd buy the BMW iX over the competition
- I drove stunning new electric SUVs from BMW and Mercedes-Benz.
- Both the BMW iX and Mercedes EQS SUV offer up good range and swanky interiors, but I think the iX is the better buy.
- The EQS SUV Mercedes lent me came out to $135,000. The BMW iX I tested cost $96,000.
Not too long ago, if you wanted a big, electric status symbol, a Tesla Model X was your only option.
