0-60 mph takes a respectable 6.5 seconds, which drops to 5.8 with the all-wheel-drive 4MATIC model that ups the torque to 590 lb-ft.
EQ MERCEDES MODELS FULL
The base EQS 450+ manages 305 miles on a full charge with 355 horsepower and 419 lb-ft of torque. With a 108.4-kWh battery pack, the EQS SUV boasts some fairly strong range and performance models. Does Mercedes think EV owners don't like music? By contrast, the EQS SUV only comes with a 15-speaker setup pumping out 710 total watts. The GLS might "only" come with dual 12.3-inch displays, but it does offer an available Burmester 3D audio system with 26 speakers and a 1,610-watt amp. Mercedes says the 2024 model year EQE, EQS, and S-Class will get a new entertainment platform called Zync, but doesn't specifically mention what streaming services will be available on it. The 12.3-inch passenger screen is the only major differentiator, but passengers can simply glance over a few inches to use the main screen without much difficulty, making it superfluous.Īnd despite being in the more expensive vehicle, the Hyperscreen does not have TikTok and other app integration like the Superscreen in the 2024 E-Class.
It looks impressive when viewed for the first time, but it's functionally no different from the base screen. The EQS wins on screen real estate with a whopping 56 inches total from the available Hyperscreen that comes standard on the 580 model. The interior is far less offensive than the exterior, but it is yet another area where the EQS SUV feels inferior to its ICE equivalent, the GLS. We much prefer BMW's EV philosophy and based on the plethora of EQ models sitting on the dealer lot in our local town, we imagine customers do too. BMW took a different approach by making its EVs look nearly identical to their ICE counterparts. In fact, it looks unrecognizable next to any gas-powered Mercedes model. The EQS SUV doesn't come close to resembling an electric GLS. The range number is pretty competitive, but we'd happy sacrifice a few miles for a more conventionally-shaped car. It's a novel idea, but we get the impression that the engineers had carte blanche during the design phase, and they never took a step back to look at the shape that was spit out by all of their math. Like its sedan counterpart, the SUV was styled to be aerodynamically efficient in order to improve the driving range. This is evident when you look at the EQS SUV. Unlike BMW, Mercedes wants its EV lineup to be completely separate from the internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, hence why they use distinct EQ names. In fact, this is one of the few EVs on the market that we don't prefer over its gasoline equivalent. As of this writing, the only other three-row EVs are the Tesla Model Y and Model X, the aforementioned Mercedes EQB, and the Rivian R1S.ĭespite being one of the only luxury EVs on the market with a third row, we noticed some glaring issues with the EQS SUV that prevent it from being recommendable. Mercedes offers the EQS SUV in two-row and three-row configurations (our test car was the former), meaning this vehicle currently has few competitors that offer room for seven passengers. The EQS SUV rides on the same platform as the EQS Sedan, with an identical wheelbase, but the sedan is longer.
This naming convention would almost make sense if not for the EQB, which is not specifically designated as an SUV because there is no sedan model to differentiate it from. Case in point, the 2023 Mercedes EQS SUV is the SUV version of the EQS Sedan. The Mercedes EQB will start at $56,800 and top out at $61,400 before options.Out of all the naming schemes for electric vehicles that exist today, the Mercedes way of doing things might be the most confusing. The EPA range is not announced yet, but it should be around 225 miles. It will draw power from a 66.5 kWh battery pack that is rated for a WLTP-estimated range of 260 miles. The EQB 300 makes 225 horses and 288 pound-feet of torque, whereas the 350 puts out 288 horsepower and 324 pound-feet of twist. Both of them will come with a dual-motor setup and Mercedes’ 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system. The EQB will be offered in two trims – the EQB 300 and the EQB 350.
On the inside, it will come with a 10.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a similar-sized touchscreen powered by the MBUX infotainment system. It’s too soon to say, but don’t expect the third row to be too spacious given the size of the vehicle. The EQB will be offered as a five-seater as standard and there will be an option to add a third row as well. This Mercedes EV is due to come out in the summer of 2022. With the EQB electric compact SUV, Mercedes is targeting all the bases right from the beginning. Mercedes is electrifying every product from its portfolio and the EQB is a testament to that.
