2027 Mercedes-Benz EQS
The all-electric, ultra-luxury EQS sedan has undergone a major update for 2027. The biggest change is the option to choose a steer-by-wire system that uses sensors, motors, and software to turn all four wheels using a flat-topped yoke. A traditional steering setup with a round steering wheel comes standard. An updated, more efficient, and faster-charging electric powertrain promises up to 480 miles between charges. 4Matic models have all-wheel drive thanks to dual electric motors. A modest exterior redesign adds a multitude of three-pointed stars across the front. The 55-inch display that spans the entire dashboard gets a new operating system. Options include automated steering assistance that can swerve around an obstacle to prevent a crash, heated front seat belts, and parking assistance cameras that can help keep drivers from scratching the wheels.

Brand context
About Mercedes-Benz
<p>Most Mercedes-Benzes give their owners industry-leading comfort and technology. The cost of that experience is typically a lofty base price with expensive options and below-average reliability. The brand produces a wide variety of vehicles for the U.S., including coupes, sedans, convertibles, and even two-seat sports cars. Some 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.</p>
