Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Mercedes-Benz EQS 450 than in the BMW iX, due to its greater head- and legroom. The BMW iX offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Mercedes-Benz EQS 450, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Clearly, the BMW iX is a better financial choice over the Mercedes-Benz EQS 450, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
The BMW iX is about the same width as the Mercedes-Benz EQS 450. The BMW iX is slightly shorter than the Mercedes-Benz EQS 450, which may make it easier to park.

Handling
The BMW iX has a significantly larger turning radius than the Mercedes-Benz EQS 450, making it much more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the BMW iX greatly out-muscles the Mercedes-Benz EQS 450.

Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the BMW iX doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Mercedes-Benz EQS 450.

Utility
The BMW iX has less seating than the Mercedes-Benz EQS 450, making the Mercedes-Benz EQS 450 the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers. The BMW iX has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Mercedes-Benz EQS 450.
