    The merc is horrible looking.. I drove the Audi the other day and it's caught between a rock and a hard place when it comes to what you get within the 60k grant limit. Unless you absolutely need the Audi badge it makes no sense to buy it when you can get so much more for your money from VW/Skoda/Hyundai/Kia, and even Tesla.

    That Audi is just poor value all across the board. I'm not saying the EQA is tonnes better, but it is somewhat. And it being RWD only is crazy. Good luck driving a 2500 kg, high riding car on RWD only with linear electric torque on icy Irish back roads. Not good.

      There is an AWD version coming. Secondly it doesn't weigh close to 2500 kg. It weighs 2135 kgs.

    A bit late to the party...Loved the video and the overall presentation. Interesting that the spec differs on both cars here in Scotland (and the UK) I think. I'd very much like to see a review of the EQC as I've just ordered an AMG line version. Keep up the good work folks!

    Great video guys. I was looking for a EQA as I has an ID3. VW software needs a booster so to say.

    I’ve already ordered a Q4 S-Line (in UK) as my next company car so am probably biased but the Mercedes is over-priced for the space you get (well it is on my company car price list). As it’s converted from an ICE car it’s just doesn’t have the cabin/boot space I need. I saw one in the showroom and just not practical for a family with kids/dogs etc. I went for the Q4 as for me it was cheaper than an Enyaq (quirk of the UK Salary Sacrifice scheme!) and the same price as an Ionic 5. The Audi was the best compromise of space, ride and price for me. I will say though that all the EV’s I tried were really good cars.

    i can't believe the pricing in Ireland. I am in the UK ordered my Q4 sportback (basic sport) with tech and comfort pack all in for £45k in Aug 2021, got heads up, adaptive CC, elect powergate and sonos! What happened to that Q4 - not even a elect power gate and its eur. 63k

  • @BMH1965
    @BMH1965 4 місяці тому

    The MB software is really buggy - avoid the EQA. Expect it enter 'get-you-home' motor mode at any time and any speed. This is really dangerous on a motorway in traffic.

    Good review guys. I enjoyed the boring tech stuff - you both really know your figures. As an ID4 driver, I’m fed up with poor VW software and am pleasantly surprised by the EQA; much better as a converted ICE than I expected.

    Never thought I would say an Audi is more interesting to look at over a Mercedes. I'll pass on both these for a cheaper and far far more reliable Toyota when they release their bz4x!

    If you want a budget Q4 you can get a ID4. Same bespoke platform, same battery options etc.

    What do you actually mean with the comment “not being a planet killer”? Volvo factory in the Nederland’s did their own calculations on the XC40 fully electric vs petrol or diesel version. The conclusion was that the fully electric must be driven 130 000 Kilometers before it will brake even, lets hope that after that it will be charged only with Nuclear, (not wind or solar they have the exact same problem) to make up for it even a little bit before the battery brakes. This shows the reality about how much more pollution the electric XC40 causes in the making. Do you hear lots of people out there talk about this?
