Video Summary

Here's the summary of the YouTube video review of the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV:
- It has the appearance of a modern incarnation of the Mercedes-Benz R-Class minivan. The BMW iX and Tesla Model X share the same odd design aesthetic for increased range.
- The range is 305 miles for the 450+ trim, while the 450 and 580 4MATIC trims both have a 285 mile range. The competition provides more range than this.
- It’s not easy to get a great driver's seating position.
- It offers an extremely comfortable ride. Its smoothness is better than competitors like the Model X and BMW iX.
- The 450 4MATIC model makes 355 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque. It can go from 0 to 60 in 5.8 seconds. The top speed is 130 mph.
- The 0–100% charge time for AC charging at home is 12.5 hours. A 10-80% charge at a DC fast charging station will take 31 minutes.
- The EQS SUV has different levels of regenerative braking. The brake pedal self-depresses in strong mode, which changes the perception of breaking.
- It has rear-wheel steering, which can turn the rear wheels 10 degrees in either the same or opposite directions as the front wheels.
- There are different sound profiles you can use during driving.
- Features, such as sound profiles and remote access, often require paying for a yearly subscription.
- The reviewer enjoys the rear styling.
- The reviewer points out that there are four cup holders.
- It comes with driver assist technologies like lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, and blind spot monitoring. It's possible to add augmented reality navigation. The camera game is very good, with a 360 camera and 3D surround view.
- It costs $104,400 for the 450+, $107,400 for the 450 4MATIC, and $125,950 for the 580 4MATIC. The as-tested price, fully optioned, is $140,000. The acceleration increase package cost $1200 per year or $100 per month.
- In general, it is an amazing, super luxurious EV.
