2026 Mercedes-Benz EQS

The EQS, a large luxury all-electric sedan, is loosely based on the redesigned Mercedes-Benz S-Class and becomes the company's new flagship. It is available in two powertrains, the rear-wheel-drive 450+ with an electric motor that cranks out 329 hp, and the high-end 580 4MATIC that outputs 516 hp through a motor on each axle. Both versions have a 108-kWh battery pack and an EPA estimated range of 350 miles for the rear-wheel drive, and 340 miles for the all-wheel drive. The massive MBUX infotainment system uses three screens and comes with all the latest technology and features. In addition to standard active safety features such as AEB, BSW, and rear cross traffic assist, the EQS goes further to predict imminent collision by using systems which will inflate the seat's side bolster to move the driver or passenger a few extra inches away from the point of an impending impact.
