Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Mercedes-Benz EQB 250 than in the Cadillac XT5, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Mercedes-Benz EQB 250 will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Cadillac XT5.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the Cadillac XT5 will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Mercedes-Benz EQB 250.

Dimensions
Since the Cadillac XT5 is much wider than the Mercedes-Benz EQB 250, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Cadillac XT5, which is slightly longer than the Mercedes-Benz EQB 250.

Handling
The Cadillac XT5 has the same turning radius as the Mercedes-Benz EQB 250, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Cadillac XT5 has a little more horsepower than the Mercedes-Benz EQB 250.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Cadillac XT5 does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Mercedes-Benz EQB 250.

Utility
The Cadillac XT5 has less seating than the Mercedes-Benz EQB 250, making the Mercedes-Benz EQB 250 the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers. You'll be able to fit about the same amount of groceries in the Cadillac XT5 as you will in the Mercedes-Benz EQB 250.
