Video Summary
Here is the summary of the YouTube video:- The EQS SUV starts around $105k, while the 580 model starts around $125k, rising to $150k with options. Soft close doors are not standard at the $125-130k price.
- The outside design is highly conservative; the white paint is a $1,000 option. Some say that the white paint can cause the SUV to have a sedan look.
- The interior build quality is pretty good. The acoustic laminated glass quiets the space. It’s a very serene spot to be in. You are buying the technology.
- You can spec the interior colors and features how you want them.
- Almost ninety percent of the cabin is haptics or touch. This means you are constantly taking off your eyes off the road and looking down at what you are touching to avoid cutting yourself.
- Turning the screens off results in a mirror effect on the dashboard which reflects outside images.
- The comfort is really good and it comes standard with a Burmester 3D audio system. There’s almost a twenty-decibel swing, the sound is really base heavy, and must be tuned out with EQ.
- It’s on the modular EV architecture known as EVA and shares parts of suspension hardpoints and hardware, though they are all recalibrated. The links are aluminum.
- The electric motors produce over 500 horsepower and over 600-foot pounds of torque. Zero to sixty mph acceleration is about 4.5 seconds.
- It's a very heavy SUV at over 6,000 pounds.
- This has a heat pump, the architecture is still 400 volts and 107.8-kilowatt hours
- The electric motor can turn off for fuel efficiency. The pros are that this offers a vault-like experience. But if you don't like the technology jam down your throat, it’s a deal breaker, this car has more driving range than gas mileage.
- Overall, the reviewer would spend his money differently and buy a Cayenne or Range Rover with the same money.
