Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Mercedes-Benz EQA
- Cabin quality — soft touch material of the dashboard and doorpads, good quality leather wrap for the steering. Feels properly luxurious!
- Features: twin 10.25” displays, 710W Burmester Sound System, panoramic sunroof, powered front seats — all that you realistically need
- Large 70.5kWh battery pack. Claimed range is upto 560km; expect ~450km in real world conditions.
Kia Carnival
- Most spacious car you can buy for under a crore
- Rear seat comfort and space is much better than luxury cars costing double the Carnival’s price
- Ample boot space behind the third row
- The front 4 seats are powered, heated and ventilated
- Impressive road presence despite being an MPV

Mercedes-Benz EQA
- Lack of underthigh support in the rear due to raised floor.
- Shallow 340-litre boot is best suited for smaller trolley bags.
Kia Carnival
- Rear cabin quality should have been better
- Noise insulation is not good for a chauffeur driven car
