BMW i7

For buyers after serene luxury with a mischievous streak, it pampers rear-seat occupants while reminding the driver that BMW still knows how to make a big car feel alive.

Mercedes EQT

It makes school runs feel a little more upscale — quietly electric, sensibly packaged and unexpectedly pleasant to live with, especially if you like your practicality with a touch of luxury.
