Which is the best all-electric SUV? Well, we’re here to find out!
Mat’s got his hands on the new BMW iX, the Audi e-tron S Sportback and the Mercedes EQC 400 to see which comes out on top as one of the best electric SUVs money can buy in 2022!
However, this isn’t your normal review. Not only will he rate & compare them based on their looks, interiors and practicality, but he’ll also be putting them up against each other to see which has the best real-world range in a series of different driving scenarios!
So how do their stats compare? Starting with the iX, it comes equipped with a 105kWh battery pack that’s supposedly good for a range of 392 miles.
Next up it’s the Mercedes EQC, with an 80kWh battery that’s good for 255 miles. And then finally it’s the e-tron S Sportback, which has an 87kWh battery pack that’s good for 235-mile range.
So on paper, it looks like it’ll be a walkover for the iX. But are the numbers deceiving? There’s only one way to find out - stick with Mat for this in-depth EV group test!

A few points. Matt, first, nice review! Let’s all remember that the e-tron is almost 3 years old. They were the ‘first’ non-Tesla electric SUV produced ever. I’ve been an owner for almost 3 years and we’ve been very happy with it. One thing about the Audi and the lack of one-pedal driving, when you press the brakes, it usually just does regen. it’s only when you really stomp on the brakes that the actual brake pads engage. So it’s been designed as a car that happens to be electric, and doesn’t do the one pedal thing like many. Overall, it gets the same regen as the others. I’ve learned to live with the range, or lack of range. In the summer, I can easily get 210+ miles, whereas the winter, it’s closer to 190’ish. It does charge really fast that helps. If you need constant long range trips, then perhaps electric isn’t for you. One thing is that whatever the trip computer says in terms of range, it’s usually REALLY close to what it actually gets. Compare that to Tesla which is a guess at best. Thanks again for the comparison!

[@JevStn]

Wasn't I Pace the first non Tesla EV SUV?

That e tron isn’t that old, cuz this is a better version of the old e tron. The Mercedes is the oldest in this test

Yeah, the EQC was released in the summer of 2019, so it's also nearly 3 years old. A little disappointing how the BMW performed considering it's so much newer...

[@chartreux1532]

To all the People saying it wasn't released that long ago, it definitely was here in Germany, i have no idea when it was released outside of Germany but yeah, that has to be taken into consideration. And here in Germany you can already see some other ev models that aren't coming out abroad (especially the US) until later this Year. However, i'd be interested to find out when the e-tron and also the other Models came out in the US and UK, definitely later than here in Germany

[@kevinknutsen7054]

The E-tron does not have one-pedal driving, but when you use the brake pedal it usually only uses engine braking/regenerative breaking unless you brake really hard. So it is regenerating just as much energy into the battery, as the EQC and IX. You can use the paddle "shifters" on the wheel to adjust the three levels of engine braking but it resets every time you step on the accelerator (It also has a nice little animation on the "battery gauge", so that when you brake, the "needle" goes down below zero and shows how much energy you are recouping). I use it a lot when going downhill. You adjust the braking on the wheel, and therefore you don't need to touch the pedals at all hehe. "No pedal driving" lol. It would still be nice to have the option to one-pedal drive, but i guess it is what it is. Overall very nice car and video :) Also; When adjusting the temperature you can just slide up and down on the + and - and it displays the temperature on the middle screen so you don't have to look at the lower screen at all :)

[@ThomasT1976]

In the Audi you need to activate the iPedal in the menus. It's not on as standard. As standard it uses predictive ACC, so it slows it self down on known roads as eco as possible. It actually works very good.

[@watch3314]

And as a result it lost the acceleration competition on a popular review channel. Good job Audi!

[@dylan4972]

That's a silly setting to have! Such a shame about the IX front but other than that it seems like the smart choice currently.

[@ThomasT1976]

Actually coating is more eco than regenerative braking. If you want braking you just activate it on the paddles.

As a complete package, I prefer the Audi. Though I'd more go towards the suv version for more practicality (make use of the extra space in it). Perfect mix of looks and function. I'm a bigger Merc fan than I am Audi or BMW, so that says a lot. The Merc was ok. Of the EQ line, outside of the coming G, I like this more than the EQS. Performance and dynamics wise, the BMW was good. However, its hard to get around the face that is the fuglier version of Mr. Woodchuck! Absolutely gopping to look at.

[@pramitharyan5167]

[@daCAT-100mil-Baby]

Agree. All of the german manufacturers are falling dropping the ball when it comes to good looking interesting electric cars. The Americans and the Chinese seem far more exciting. (Audi looks great, just they are common as muck here in Norway)

[@chartreux1532]

It's interesting how much "Range" matters in the US and other Countries that are insanely large. Whenever i see arguments in comment sections on how Tesla is better because of the Range, i like to point out that Range doesn't matter as much in different Countries. Take Germany for example, Range Anxiety isn't a thing here because: 1. Average Driving Distance in Germany is rather small compared to the US and US Drivers 2. Charging Stations are absolutely everywhere, and i mean Charging Stations for every ev. So here you don't end up having that Anxiety of having to check where the next Charging Station is and how far away it is, in case you didn't pay Attention or had to take another longer Route. So most ev customers here have "Max Range" as one of the less important points as to which ev they buy. That's why people always bringing up Range as a major topic might be important in some Countries, but it's not universal. This is probably also why most evs i see here in Germany (i usually drive from Munich to Frankfurt am Main and back) aren't Teslas, but Mercedes-Benz, VW, Audi, Renault, Opel (Vauxhall in the UK), BMW and also more and more Skoda and Hyundai. That said, Tesla are still fairly common, but definitely not the #1 Choice as i believe it is in the USA and UK Prost & Cheers from the Bavarian Alps

[@dingdong2103]

I've driven the A4 quattro 2020 for 3 years now and I've grown to dislike Audi. I prefer Mercedes all day. And BMW has such a negative brand image that I would never buy one. The test was not fair because the BMW in the test was way more expensive than the competition.

I can't speak to these cars in particular, but in my Kona Electric which I've driven for ~40,000km now it's really accurate. Adjusts for whatever driving you're doing as well (freeway vs around town) and who's driving it (I'm getting ~515km on a full charge, my wife ~480km when she's been using it for a week or so as she's a more digital driver).

I have the E-tron as a company car, had the EQC as a courtesy car for two weeks and and borrowed the IX50 from my local dealer for a few hours. In my mind, the IX50 is superiour to the other two because it is way more dynamic and engaging to drive while still being very comfortable. It also has the best interiour by a mile. The only reason to buy the E-tron would be the frunk and the slightly bigger boot space (not the sportsback). I can't see any reason at all to get the EQC even though it's a perfectly nice car.

I have an EQC, been my company car for the past 18 months. Very nice and refined though my son throws up practically every time he travels in it. No such problem in my dad’s diesel X1. These 2tonne plus EVs are just way too floaty. Comparing the three, I don’t think there’s much in it. I was expecting the BMW to walk it, given how new it is. Biggest problem with all of them is the terrible charging network, especially here in Wales, which is why my next car is going to be a Tesla, despite the fact that I can’t stand them. Or I may even forget company cars altogether and just buy a petrol family car. Honestly, I’ve owned everything from old bangers through sports cars and now a £70k EV. Is it worth it, no, not really. I’d just save the cash and buy a nicely spec’d Octavia or Superb.

it's probably 4.3-4.5 seconds. the drag race with the ix was tied on the 1/4 miles

@@olofdaisler9121 i checked a few other 0 to 60 tests on youtube for the 500 horsepower e tron and apparently it got 4.1 seconds in one of the tests. Pretty good

[@olofdaisler9121]

@@arshaq4471 that's a very good time, hardly the ix 50 can beat it, probably around 4.3-4.5 seconds. The best time i've seen for and EV, except tesla, was the jaguar i-pace, a 4 seconds flat, during a comparative test from motortrend between model 3, giulia and i-pace.

Always wondered, do the brake lights come on when one pedal driving?

[@LESHEWIN]

Yes they do

[@tberreth33]

Yeah - if using cruise control on the highway, and there is regen happening due to going down a hill, the brake lights come on as if you were using your foot, rather than the computer doing it. I wondered for a while too if it was doing it, but then finally saw the signs behind me light up when the brake lights came on during auto-regen.

Regardless of the performance, I would go for the Audi based on the looks alone😍

@@Firebolt1729 the BMW looks a kinda weird not boring, Mercedes design is a bit boring outside, I like the Audi's swooping roof tho not a big fan of Audi's design in general with the geometric design

Smaller E-Cars have much more range with the same interior space making them a real alternative for fossil driven engines. I don't get this E-SUV trend...

[@hagymasymarton4714]

it's because people who buy SUVs do not actually need cars, they want status symbols. and what better symbol than electric? (if you can't afford a RollsRoyce)

[@ShelfsideOllie]

it seems everything about the bm is best, until you look at the thing! - I couldn't get used to those looks. EQC for me as an all rounder for range and comfort

[@mortenjensen6657]

Hello Mat, when are you gonna review the new peugeot 308 hybrid?

[@Kokoro-Hime]

First time I saw the iX50 on the road, I fell in love with its looks. I think it looks fantastic! I immediately cancelled my Porsche Maccan order to get the iX50 instead. 💜

[@markarnold8160]

Nice Beemer. £94k though. Would the iX40 be the better compromise?

[@pb5x5]

I wonder if the kw per h rate is as accrurate as mpg readouts are in ICE cars are? They tend to over read.....

[@SlavaLevodeanschi]

Hi Mat! Thank you for the informative video and for your hard work! I would like to see a test car with thrusters rear wheels. I'm sure this will be a super informative video. Thanks a lot Mat! You are the best !!!

[@vise5224]

I saw the ix in real and it looks amazing. So different but nice. Draws a lot of attention u like the other 2 which look like regular cars.

[@JasperPauwels]

Funny, because I've seen it twice now and I don't know what to think about it. I really didn't like it in black. But about a week ago I saw a red one and it looked a bit better. Best EV I've seen IRL so far has definitely been a Taycan Cross Turismo though.

What an oddly specific range test. Is it higher with town driving or same? What about braking and accelerating?

[@NZsarge1]

Well give it’s a fresh EV design the BMW should’ve won, I think the other two faired well though give they’re adapted chassis’ and considerably older and more compromised designs, I’d like to know why the Audi limited it’s power and if it’s a regular occurrence/fault.

[@welfiblablabla]

Not the fairest comparison since the Audi and MB far longer on the market than the BMW. But, then again, they could update their cars 😉

[@dyahramsamy4073]

You're buying the car just based on the looks and not on the range?

[@irGuilty]

Boring no character Audi. Bmw is definitely the standout and actually futuristic design that will hold up better, plus it’s the best actual car

[@mathiashyndrikx3439]

I take the Audi because of its design, but I wait for the facelift and the new battery. The facelifted version will have +/- 600km range, what's nice for an EV
