Greensboro shoppers have options when they're shopping for a luxury electric SUV. Two frontrunners in the market are the Lexus RZ and Mercedes-Benz EQB. However, the Lexus RZ has advantages in some key areas that might make it a better fit for shoppers in the High Point, NC, area. Get to know the Lexus RZ a little better – and see how it compares to the Mercedes-Benz EQB – today with Flow Lexus of Greensboro.
Performance
The Lexus RZ comes with either 201 horsepower and front-wheel drive or 308 horsepower and all-wheel drive. These powertrain options obviously outclass the Mercedes-Benz EQB, which offers a 188-horsepower variant and a 288-horsepower variant.
Additionally, the Lexus RZ weighs almost 250 pounds less than the competing Mercedes-Benz. That means it can stop quicker, accelerate more aggressively, and offer more responsive handling.
Electric Range
Perhaps the most important aspect of owning an EV is its driving range. The Lexus RZ offers 266 miles of range on a full charge. The Mercedes-Benz EQB can't quite keep up, providing drivers with a mere 251 miles of range. You want the most out of your EV when you're exploring Burlington, NC, and the surround areas – why compromise on range?
Technology and Screen Size
The Lexus RZ comes equipped with a 14.0-inch touchscreen display standard, which dwarfs the Mercedes-Benz EQB and its 10.25-inch screen. The electric Lexus SUV also has an additional USB-C port compared to the Mercedes-Benz EQB – five instead of four.
The Mercedes-Benz EQB does offer staunch competition, of course. Wireless Android Auto® and Apple CarPlay™, app compatibility, and dual-zone automatic climate control all come standard. The Lexus RZ offers all these features as standard equipment, too. But it also offers powerful aids like a 360-view camera system and in-car Wi-Fi – features that either aren't available or cost extra on the Mercedes-Benz EQB.
