Good bye 450!!

Just sold my GLE450 with only 13k kilometers on the motor. Will transition to a PHEV or full electric in a couple of months so I'll start looking. Drove the EQS580 and I like it but I cant get myself to like the looks. Suggestions guys!!!!

You sold it because you were not happy with it, issues, bored you?

If none of the above, perhaps an AMG 63s (GLE, GLS), Porsche Cayenne, Range Rover Sport. If "IC" no longer an option for you, the current EV offerings, in my opinion, are lacking in looks big time no matter the make. Never mind infrastructure.

If I were shopping electric SUV's, my test drives would start with the Q8 e-tron.

Fully electric doesn't work in a world when at times you drive 1100 kilometers in a day.

Do another ICE until Solid State Batteries are out a couple of years. Todays BEV prices will drop like a rock as technology improves…more so than usual.
