Video Summary
The Mercedes EQS SUV 450 is an expensive car, priced at 192,000 Swiss francs. However, it’s a large vehicle with abundant space. The cabin is quiet, arguably among the quietest available today. It offers 360 horsepower from two electric motors, and a large 108.7 kWh battery with a range reaching 550 kilometers.The exterior looks pleasant but not particularly striking. Because of the car's egg-shape design, its size is deceiving. The SUV 450’s standout is its quietness and a feeling of sovereignity when driving.
It is offered in three variants and all can be augmented with an AMG sports package. Competitors include the Tesla Model X and the Audi e-tron or Q8 e-tron. The new Range Rover will soon also be among the vehicles in this market segment.
The EQS SUV comes with a large, 1.4 meter-wide hyper screen with three distinct displays. The sound system isn’t impressive, and there are some areas of cheaper materials. Steering wheel controls aren't easy to use. Its seats are comfortable. The back of the car offers plenty of space. In the armrest is an extra third screen, and climate controls and charging ports are also located in the back. Folding the rear seats to expand cargo space is achieved electrically. The Mercedes all-electric strategy is aimed at 2030 when they will only be selling fully-electric vehicles where the market conditions allow.
This SUV features four-wheel steering. Though heavy, weighing nearly three tons, it’s nimble. With normal usage, the range is close to 500 kilometers.
For those who can afford it, this car offers luxury. The EQ SUV is a great car, deserving of three and a half out of four stars.
