Electric SUV Comparison: Audi E-Tron Versus Mercedes EQ Versus Jaguar I-Pace

By definition, a luxury car is a vehicle that gives comfort and technology that is more than average, with a premium feel and most of the time, an expensive price tag. A crossover sports utility vehicle, on the other hand, is a vehicle that was built with the same platform as a sedan but also gives the looks and features of a bigger SUV at the same time. Let us discuss the differences on the newest luxury crossover SUV's that might hit the market soon, the Audi E-Tron, Mercedes EQ and the Jaguar I-Pace.
