Mercedes-Benz released the EQS in 2021, as an answer to the increasing demand for luxury electric cars. At the time of its release, it was the most aerodynamic production car on the road, featuring a remarkably low drag coefficient of 0.20. This is a big factor in its hugely impressive electric driving range. As with the entire EQ lineup, Mercedes-Benz will continue updating the technology and features to keep this model relevant and fresh.

Used Mercedes-Benz EQS FAQ's
Which is the most popular engine in the Mercedes-Benz EQS?
The 450+ has proven to be the most popular with EQS owners, due to it being the least expensive option and holding the longest driving range of the two configurations. However, the AMG EQS 53 does have an impressive 0-62mph time and is well worth the upgrade for some.
Which are the most popular trim levels?
Mercedes-Benz currently offers the EQS in several trim levels: 450+ AMG Premium Saloon, 450+ AMG Premium Plus, 450+ Business Class, AMG EQS 53 Night Edition and AMG EQS 53 Touring. The Premium version is the most popular among EQS buyers because of its lower price tag on the used market.
What optional extras should I look out for?
Even with a variety of features as standard, there are some optional extras you can look out for in EQS models. These include luxury upholstery such as Nappa leather either in Neva Grey, Space Grey, Macchiato Beige or Biscay Blue. Also, look out for models with the rear luxury lounge package, which includes adaptive lighting, an Interior Assistant in the rear, and heated seats with massage functions.
Is the Mercedes-Benz EQS a good family car?
Yes, it's a good family car as it offers a great deal of space and fantastic levels of comfort. With a long electric driving range, the EQS doesn't need to be charged often, so there's more flexibility while travelling. There's also an available rear-seat entertainment system that can help keep children occupied during the drive.
How does the Mercedes-Benz EQS compare to the EQE?
The EQE was released after the success of the EQS. It has a smaller battery and a shorter driving range, but is comparable to the EQS in terms of acceleration and speed. The EQE is a mid-sized saloon, while the EQS is larger, so there's less interior room and a smaller boot. However, both have similar interior features and styling.
Is the Mercedes-Benz EQS available as an automatic?
Yes, Mercedes-Benz equips the EQS with a single-speed automatic gearbox, which is common on most EVs. There is no manual option.
Is there a four-wheel drive version available?
Yes, the Mercedes AMG EQS 53 comes standard with 4MATIC all-wheel drive to ensure better handling and traction. The Mercedes-Benz EQS 450+ is only available in rear-wheel drive, which allows for a sporty feel and maximum range.
