EQS 450+

EQS 580 4MATIC

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

G 580 EQ

G 580 with EQ Technology

The Mercedes-Benz G 580 with EQ Technology is a fully electric reimagining of the iconic G-Class, priced at $161,525 and targeting buyers who want off-road credibility alongside EV performance. It retains the boxy silhouette and ladder-frame heritage of its combustion counterpart while adding a quad-motor powertrain producing 579 hp. Reviewers at outlets like MotorTrend and Car and Driver have singled out its 'G-Turn' tank-steering function and the surprising agility that comes from torque vectoring across all four wheels as the most distinctive traits setting it apart in the luxury electric SUV segment.

Quad-motor torque vectoring enables a 'G-Turn' pivot-steering mode that can rotate the vehicle nearly in place, a unique off-road and demonstration feature with no direct equivalent among competitors

579 hp delivers a 4.6-second 0-60 mph time that is notably quick for a vehicle weighing over 6,000 lbs

Retains the G-Class's body-on-frame construction and three locking differentials, preserving genuine off-road capability rather than relying solely on motor torque fill

Interior quality matches or exceeds the combustion G-Class, with Mercedes' latest MBUX infotainment and high-grade materials consistent with the six-figure price point

Iconic, unchanged exterior silhouette means it carries strong brand recognition and resale desirability in the luxury market

239-mile EPA range is modest for a $161,525 vehicle, falling well short of rivals like the Rivian R1S (up to 321 miles) and GMC Hummer EV (329 miles in some configurations)

Curb weight exceeding 6,000 lbs creates real-world efficiency penalties and means brake and tire wear rates that reviewers note are higher than lighter luxury EVs

A single trim at $161,525 leaves no entry point for buyers seeking the G-Class experience at a lower cost, and the price premium over the gasoline G 550 is substantial

DC fast charging is capped at 200 kW, which is adequate but not class-leading, and the large battery pack means charge stops can still be lengthy on long trips
