Comfort
The Lexus ES 300h offers rear passengers about the same space to stretch out as the Mercedes-Benz EQE 350 with comparable rear head- and legroom in both vehicles. The Mercedes-Benz EQE 350 will be a favorite with taller drivers due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Lexus ES 300h.
