Comfort
The Audi Q8 e-tron offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Mercedes-Benz EQB 300, with comparable head- and legroom. The Mercedes-Benz EQB 300 will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Audi Q8 e-tron.
