Pros and Cons

  • Positives
  • Negatives
Defender
  • It's bigger, better and easier to live with
  • Up to date tech
  • Comfier, upmarket interiors
Mercedes-Benz EQS
  • Nearly 600km of driving range on a single charge, spacious cabin, luxurious interior quality and practical boot
Defender
  • Not as cushy a ride as it's other stablemates
  • Might take the self satisfaction out of off-roading for the hard-core enthusiast
Mercedes-Benz EQS
  • Aerodynamic design may be polarizing for those who prefer the traditional three-box sedan styling, chauffeur driven owners may still prefer the regular S-Class
