• Pros & Cons

  Pros, Cons

  Pros	Design looks outstanding Long driving range is a big thumbs up Full of luxury features Cabin quality is supremely fine with lots of soft-touch materi- Expensive as compared to the rivals	792 km of claimed range at Rs 59 lakh, makes it unmistakably good deal. Does 0 to 100 km/h in 6.7 seconds, with long-range variant. Tech-loaded, equipped with latest and the best technology on offer. The front profile is tastefully executed, balancing modern elements and brand identity. High on comfort - typical Mercedes-Benz behaviour.
  Cons	Expensive for its size Speculations about the battery replacement costs Only one variant is available	Rear seat space isn’t the best, and the seats lack adequate under-thigh support. The dashboard is dominated by three screens, which can feel overwhelming. There’s also a heavy reliance on screens, even for simple tasks. Ground clearance is low, so it may scrape on undulated roads.
