Frequently asked questions
What are the Hyundai STARIA Electric and Mercedes-Benz EQV like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 207 miles for the Hyundai STARIA Electric and 185 miles for the Mercedes-Benz EQV - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Hyundai STARIA Electric goes roughly 22 miles further between charging stops.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Hyundai STARIA Electric or the Mercedes-Benz EQV?
The Mercedes-Benz EQV is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 69 mm narrower than the Hyundai STARIA Electric. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 472 mm of total clearance for the Mercedes-Benz EQV and about 403 mm of total clearance for the Hyundai STARIA Electric.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Hyundai STARIA Electric or the Mercedes-Benz EQV?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 89% battery health for the Hyundai STARIA Electric and 84% for the Mercedes-Benz EQV. That gives the Hyundai STARIA Electric a modest edge in retained real-world range. Both use NMC-type cells, so for daily use keep the charge limit near 80% to slow degradation.
