Depending on who you talk to they’re the best of both worlds or the worst of both worlds. Positively put, they offer emissions-free electric driving most of the time, but a petrol engine backup when you need it – very handy, thanks. That maybe isn’t replicated as much in Europe and other places.

Last year, John Carey tested the EQE 350+ (Australia’s not getting this model from launch) and EQE53 4matic+ on some of Europe’s finest roads, but this was our first chance to sample the range on our own territory. Sling four good-sized adults in the latter and you’re asking it to move three-tonnes.

It’s mind-blowing, if not quite in the re-wire brain territory of the Porsche Taycan Turbo S. Very cool and ideal to charge phones, your laptop, coffee machine, widescreen TV or even bar fridge. The Kia can handle 230kW charge speed, but I’ve no ultra rapid charger within 70km of my home, so 50kW it is.
