Few electric rivals can carry you and up to seven passengers with quite as much space to spare as the Mercedes EQV. However, given its high cost, it’s likely to appeal most to fleets and VIP shuttle services. If you do get one, we recommend going for Sport Premium trim.

Entry-level Sport trim gets front and rear parking sensors, a 10.25in touchscreen infotainment system and 17in alloys, as well as plenty of safety kit including driver fatigue monitoring and automatic emergency braking (AEB), plus seatbelt pre-tensioning, blind-spot warning and lane-keeping assistance.

The only choice if you want to buy the EQV. With a 201bhp electric motor driving the front wheels, it delivers a 0-62mph sprint in 12.1sec. It's one of the slowest electric cars around but doesn't feel too sluggish on the open road, partly thanks to the electric motor's immediate response to your accelerator inputs. The EQV will stretch its legs to a top speed of 98mph if you find a long enough stretch of Autobahn. The range of 213 miles is mediocre compared to most large electric cars.
