Video Summary
Here is the requested summary of the YouTube video:The EQS 450+ is an electric alternative to the S-Class, and Mercedes' first time using the EQ platform.
It's available in two versions: the 450+ and the 580 4MATIC.
The 450+ has 329 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque, achieving 0-60 in 5.9 seconds.
Its range is rated at 350 miles.
The EQS can charge from 10% to 80% in 31 minutes using a 200-kilowatt charger.
The Tesla Model S Long Range offers higher performance at $88,000, with a 0-60 time of 3.1 seconds and 405 miles of range.
The Mercedes excels in its driving experience and interior.
The EQS has the lowest coefficient of drag of any production car: .2.
It's very smooth due to the front fascia without a grille.
It's recommended to opt for the $2200 AMG line package to get a more aggressive front fascia with 21-inch AMG wheels.
The windshield washer reservoir is uniquely positioned on the exterior of the car.
A unique feature is the EQS's self-opening doors when approaching with the key in pocket, an available option.
The car detects voice recognition and the location of the passenger to close the correct door.
The Hyperscreen is a 56-inch sheet of glass with three distinct screens.
There are three trim levels: premium, luxury, and pinnacle.
The luxury trim comes with massaging front seats and four-zone climate control and fragrances blasted into the cabin.
The pinnacle trim adds more rear seat options.
The review praises the car’s seating, leather, and trim, as well as the active noise cancellation.
Also mentioned is the start-stop button and its unique sound.
Compared to a Tesla Model S, the interior quality is higher, but the exterior design may take time to get used to.
The EQS is rated as almost the ultimate luxury car, more like a Maybach than any other electric car.
The main problems include the design, some of which looks like a black bean, and the glare from the infotainment system, which might be reduced by using a matte screen aftermarket.
It has air suspension similar to the S Class, but it has been improved with an algorithm that can scan the road to avoid issues like potholes.
The car can then automatically raise and lower.
The car is said to drive like being “on another planet."
The regenerative braking is controlled with paddles on the steering wheel.
There are multiple custom engine sound options.
