The Mercedes-Benz EQV is both massive (it comes with seats for up to eight people and two wheelbase options) and massively expensive (we're into six figures here, even before you add some options), but it's one of the most compelling electric cars we've yet driven. No, it's not really for private buyers - it's more for eco-friendly airport taxi firms - but it's still great with its high-up driving position, electric side doors and masses of space. Not the longest range around, but it's sufficient and the build quality is excellent. There’s an updated EQV on the way, but it’s more about giving the styling and the interior a makeover than adding any extra electric range.
