Review and specifications
2026 Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV
The EQS SUV is a three figure fully electric SUV. A third row seat is optional. It comes standard in a rear-drive, one-motor configuration which has an EPA estimated range of 305 miles. The 4Matic upgrade, which includes two motors, thus making it all-wheel drive, has an estimated range of 285 miles. Both configurations have a 9.6-kW onboard charger and use a large 107.8-kWh battery. They are compatible with maximum DC charging output of 200 kW. The 580 makes 536 horsepower, but even the 450 models with 355-hp are plenty quick, quiet and effortless. The ride is comfortable and serene and handling is surprisingly agile, partly due to the four-wheel steering. The brake pedal feels spongy, however. Controls are daunting at first but manageable. The EQS SUV boasts a full complement of active safety features, and the adaptive cruise control, combined with lane-keeping assistance, can execute lane changes on its own if the driver signals.

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.
