Naturally, cars used to bring people migrate into energy. Their adoption in France is still slight, but we wanted to test the Mercedes brand, which is no longer known in this market. Feedback on the road after a couple of days.
The Mercedes V-Class you probably recognise. While it is accurate that this vehicle is intended more for carriers, it may be used as an alternative for many big families. Last but not least... under the basis that we've got the budget we're trying to provide here. The EQV is in turn offered from a long edition of 72.744 euros and an extra long one of 73.554 euros – our test model.
After all, the SUV for up to $79.990 is cheaper than the Tesla Model X. The analogy is obviously laughable and voluntary. All this to say that electrical products are often very costly, especially if we are interested in luxury brands. Let us add that we cannot ignore the environmental bonus at such speeds.
