2023 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.

Brand context

About Mercedes-Benz

Most Mercedes-Benzes give their owners industry-leading comfort and technology. The cost of that experience is an expensive base price with expensive options and below-average reliability. The brand produces a wide variety of vehicles for the U.S., including coupes, station wagons, sedans, convertibles, and even two-seat sports cars. Its two- and three-row SUVs that we’ve tested have powerful engines and interiors that are roomy and quiet. Generally, Mercedes-Benz fit and finish, inside and out, is exceptional and helps justify prices. Mercedes-Benz’s EVs range from compact to large three-row SUVs. Across the lineup, controls for the complex climate and infotainment systems aren’t as intuitive as we find in other luxury vehicles. Like most European luxury brands, used Mercedes-Benzes can have expensive out-of-warranty repairs, although Consumer Reports has found used models with above-average reliability.
