Mercedes EQA
VS
The BMW iX1 is the feisty compact EV that still drives like a BMW, with sharper handling and a practical cabin, while the Mercedes EQA prefers to charm you with a softer ride and a more polished, luxe interior. Choose the iX1 for driver engagement and better value, or the EQA if you want plush comfort and glossy tech — both sensible electric choices, it just depends whether you want to smile on the bend or on the boulevard.

VW ID.4

The Mercedes EQA feels like a compact EV dressed for the boardroom — polished interior, serene ride and undeniable badge prestige, but you trade off some cabin space and a modest range for the name. The VW ID.4 is the sensible opposite: roomy, practical and better value with more usable range, making it the smarter everyday choice if you prioritise space and efficiency over status.
