Those same passengers can also make use of a leather-clad tray table with a groove for tablets, 15-inch screens for watching TV and movies on the go, a 7.2-litre fridge unit that can cool between -6 and 15 degrees and warm between 35 and 50 degrees, and an electric sunblind for the enormous 2.12m-squared panoramic roof.
That sunroof, as well as the windscreen and all three side windows, comes with dual-layer glass to make the L380 a very pleasant place to while away the miles. If it’s too quiet, each variant comes equipped with an impressive 14-speaker Yamaha sound system as standard.
For the driver, there’s a large head-up display that features both a blind spot camera feed when indicating, as well as a 300-metre night vision camera that helps highlight other road users.
The L380 also impresses on performance and range, particularly when stacked up against the Mercedes EQV. Drive comes from either a single, rear-mounted 200kW / 268hp motor producing 343Nm of torque, or a dual-motor set up that doubles your numbers for all-wheel drive stability and a 0-62mph sprint of 5.5 seconds, obliterating the EQV’s 12.1-second time.
Range too is considerably better, with 101kWh, 116kWh, or 140kWh battery variants offering 354, 419, and 497-plus miles respectively (on the somewhat optimistic Chinese test cycle) comfortably beating the EQV’s 219-mile range even when marking those numbers down about 25 per cent for real-world range.
Charging speeds are equally pleasing with DC fast charging as high as 260kW, meaning you can add over 200 miles of range on a 15-minute charge.
