EQS 450+

AMG EQS

EQS Sedan

The Mercedes-Benz EQS Sedan sits at the top of Mercedes' EV lineup, competing directly against the BMW i7 and Lucid Air as a full-size electric luxury flagship. Built on a dedicated EV platform, it prioritizes ride refinement, interior opulence, and long-range efficiency over driving excitement — the 450+ trim's 390-mile EPA range ranks among the highest in the segment. Reviewers consistently single out the optional Hyperscreen dashboard and near-silent cabin as genuine differentiators, though the car's polarizing exterior styling and substantial price premium over rivals generate notable friction.

EQS 450+ achieves 390 miles of EPA-rated range, one of the longest ranges of any non-Tesla EV currently on sale

Cabin noise isolation is among the best in class, with reviewers at Car and Driver and MotorTrend noting near-anechoic interior quietness at highway speeds

Optional 56-inch Hyperscreen spanning the full dashboard width is a genuinely distinctive feature that reviewers cite as a step ahead of competitors' infotainment hardware

Rear-axle steering (available as an option) cuts the turning circle dramatically for a 207-inch vehicle, earning specific praise from Edmunds for urban maneuverability

AMG EQS delivers 751 hp and a 3.4-second 0–60 time while retaining a compliant, luxury-oriented ride that the AMG combustion lineup rarely offers

Fastback exterior styling is widely described by reviewers as bland or anonymous for a six-figure Mercedes — Car and Driver noted it lacks visual presence commensurate with its price

EQS 580 4MATIC and AMG EQS pay a significant range penalty for performance, dropping to 340 miles and 277 miles respectively versus the base 450+

MBUX Hyperscreen, while visually impressive, draws criticism for burying frequently used controls in nested menus, reducing ease of use in daily operation

Starting price of $105,550 for the base 450+ places it above comparably equipped Lucid Air Grand Touring variants that offer similar or greater range

EQS SUV

The Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV is a three-row luxury electric SUV positioned at the top of the full-size segment, competing with the BMW iX and Cadillac LYRIQ but offering genuine seven-passenger capacity. Built on Mercedes' dedicated EVA2 platform, it shares its underpinnings with the EQS sedan and prioritizes cabin refinement and technology over outright driving dynamics. Reviewers consistently single out the optional Hyperscreen dashboard and near-silent interior as class leaders, while noting that the driving experience skews toward comfort rather than engagement.

Exceptional interior quietness and build quality, frequently ranked among the most refined cabins in any SUV segment by Edmunds and Car and Driver

Optional 56-inch MBUX Hyperscreen spans the full dashboard width and integrates three displays into a single glass panel, a feature with no direct equivalent in rival luxury EVs

EQS 580 4MATIC reaches 0-60 in 4.5 seconds, competitive with performance-focused SUVs at its price point

Genuine three-row, seven-passenger seating distinguishes it from EQS sedan and most luxury EV crossovers

EQS 450+ base trim delivers 305 miles of EPA-rated range, the longest of any configuration and sufficient for most long-distance use cases

Curb weight exceeds 6,000 pounds in AWD trims, resulting in steering and handling that reviewers at MotorTrend and Car and Driver describe as numb and detached compared to ICE-powered S-Class SUV rivals

AWD trims drop to 285 miles of EPA range, a meaningful reduction given the over-$108,000 starting price and the 300-plus-mile benchmarks set by competitors like the Rivian R1S

Interior technology, while visually impressive, draws criticism for menu complexity and a learning curve that InsideEVs and consumer reviewers describe as steep even for experienced Mercedes owners

Third-row space is limited for adult passengers despite the vehicle's overall size, a trade-off noted repeatedly in family-use comparisons
