Frequently asked questions
Is the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV worth the extra £32,915 over the Volvo EX90?
The Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV costs £32,915 more than the Volvo EX90. For that premium it adds 241 litres more boot space. The Volvo EX90 is not just cheaper - it also offers 50 kW faster peak rapid charging and 35 kW more power. On EVcarsguide's combined category scores, the Volvo EX90 comes out ahead overall.
Which is cheaper to own over 5 years, the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV or the Volvo EX90?
The Volvo EX90 is £32,915 cheaper to buy. Running costs are almost identical - about £200 a year either way, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the Volvo EX90 comes out roughly £33,035 cheaper overall. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.
What are the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV and Volvo EX90 like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 305 miles for the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV and 312 miles for the Volvo EX90 - effectively matched, and both well below their WLTP figures because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. A rapid charge to 80% takes around 32 minutes in the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV and 22 in the Volvo EX90, so the Volvo EX90 loses less time at each stop.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV or the Volvo EX90?
The two are within 5 mm on width, so neither is meaningfully easier to thread into a tight space. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 441 mm of total clearance for the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV and about 436 mm of total clearance for the Volvo EX90.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV or the Volvo EX90?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV and 84% for the Volvo EX90. That is close enough that capacity loss should not decide between them. Both use NMC-type cells, so for daily use keep the charge limit near 80% to slow degradation. The Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV has the longer battery warranty at 10 years, versus 8 for the Volvo EX90.
