2023 Mercedes-Benz EQS

Price Range: $104,400 - $147,550 ^{Price range reflects Base MSRP for various trim levels, not including options or fees.}

+79

The 2023 EQS, in a nutshell, is an electric S-Class. Just like an S-Class, the EQS is comfortable, quiet and packed full of features. It also has a roomy cargo area and a long range on a full charge. There are a few drawbacks, such as mediocre rear seat space, but overall the EQS is a smart pick for a luxury EV.Read full review

The EQS offers impressive range in its base and all-wheel-drive trims. The base trim's real-word Edmunds range test results beat the current Tesla Model S's EPA estimate of 405 miles, and does it with a more refined interior and cutting-edge tech. (In our testing, we've found Tesla models typically have real-world range results near, or just shy, of EPA estimates.) Even the high-performance EQS AMG version, which can produce thumping 751 horsepower in short bursts, is rated for nearly 280 miles on a full charge.

For 2023, Mercedes-Benz expands the EQS lineup with a new dual-motor, all-wheel-drive version of the base model trim, the EQS 450 4Matic. A few other new features trickle down from the S-Class and even the Mercedes-Maybach, such as adjustable rear seat overhead lighting, tablet gesture controls, and upgraded pillows, headrests, and slightly extended seat cushions. A new 20-inch AMG wheel design is also available.

The EQS stands as a solid choice for a luxury EV alongside other options such as the aforementioned Model S plus the Audi e-tron GT, all-new BMW i7 and Porsche Taycan. Read our Expert Rating below to learn if it's a good fit for you.

Great

8.2

out of 10

edmunds TESTED

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

8/10

How does the EQS drive? The EQS drives a lot like a typical large luxury sedan. Power from the EQS 450+, which is what we tested, is similar to what you might expect from a conventional gas-powered six-cylinder engine. In Edmunds' testing, the EQS 450+ reached 60 mph from a standstill in 5.7 seconds. While that's certainly adequate, most luxury EVs are capable of considerably quicker acceleration. Performance from the EQS 580 or AMG EQS should be more satisfying.

The braking experience in the EQS is odd. You can adjust the amount of regenerative braking (it slows the car down using the electric motor and recoups some electricity in the process) but the EQS' brake pedal moves in accordance with the amount of regen braking you select. So when you go to press on the brakes, the pedal is sometimes already halfway to the floor. Ultimate braking performance, though, is quite good. Our test car stopped from 60 mph in an admirable 111 feet. But note that the pedal travel is quite long and requires a heavy push with your foot.

The EQS 450+ won't be a sedan that will have you seeking out curvy roads. The steering is light but accurate and has good straight-line stability. This luxury sedan is best for straight cruising on the highway.

Comfort

8.5/10

How comfortable is the EQS? Comfort is a strong suit of this large Benz. The front seats offer a wide range of adjustment and a good blend of firm but forgiving cushions. The EQS is also one of the quietest cars we've tested, with minimal outside noise making its way into the cabin. The ride quality is smooth, though we think the S-Class is ultimately a bit better at smoothing out bumps in the road.

The climate control is almost all touchscreen-based but is easier to use than most touchscreen interfaces. There's a screen that provides real-time air quality inside and outside of the cabin, which we found very cool. Both the seat heat and ventilation functions are very effective, and the optional massaging feature is helpful to keep the blood flowing on longer drives. Disappointingly, the EQS 450+'s rear seats don't have any controls or separate settings unless you opt for the top Pinnacle trim.

Interior

8.5/10

How’s the interior? Our test EQS 450+ did not come with the new dashboard-wide Hyperscreen, but the standard screen is pretty sizable and easy to navigate. The on-screen menus are complex, but ultimately the system is not hard to figure out. We also like how easy it is to see out of the EQS. The surround-view camera system takes all the guesswork out of avoiding objects when parking.

Oddly, the EQS is lacking rear seat space. Rear legroom is OK, but there's not much headroom considering this is a large luxury sedan. Passengers 6 feet tall or taller will likely be bumping their heads up against the roof.

Build & Price

Technology

9/10

How’s the tech? Mercedes remains a leader with its MBUX infotainment system. The voice-controlled virtual assistant is particularly helpful for adjusting controls or bringing up information without having to take your eyes off the road. The Burmester audio system sounds great, and the integrated navigation system is useful for routing to nearby charging stations.

You want charging ports? Well, the EQS has a total of eight USB ports, which feels a bit like overkill in a cabin that seats five at the most. Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration is standard and a nice convenience to have when it's working. (We experienced some connection issues during our testing.)

Mercedes-Benz's advanced driving aids work great and are among the best in the business. We wouldn't call their operation faultless, but overall the adaptive cruise, lane keeping assistance, blind-spot warning and 360-degree cameras make driving considerably easier and safer.

Storage

8.5/10

How’s the storage? The EQS doesn't have a front trunk like the Tesla Model S does, but we'd argue it doesn't need one. The rear cargo hatch is huge, accommodating 22 cubic feet of stuff behind the rear seats. And if you need more space, the seats fold flat in the 40/20/40-split configuration. Storage for small items in the cabin is equally impressive, with an assortment of generously sized bins with cleverly organized compartments.

Got small kids to drive around? There's a good amount of space for installing child safety seats in back. However, the angled bottom rear seat cushion can make it a little tricky to securely strap a seat down. The lower Isofix anchors and the rear top tethers are pretty easy to access.

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

Range and Efficiency

8.5/10

How are the range and efficiency? The EQS 450+ we tested was equipped with the standard 20-inch wheels, giving it an EPA-estimated range of 350 miles and a consumption rate of 35 kWh's worth of electricity for every 100 miles of driving.

That range estimate is great by itself, and we found the EQS can go even farther. We drove the EQS 450+ 422 miles on a single max battery charge in our real-world range test. It was also more efficient than the EPA's estimate, using only 29.5 kWh/100 miles. For comparison, a 2022 Audi e-tron GT we tested went only 273 miles on a full charge and used 41 kWh/100 miles.

Value

7.5/10

Is the EQS a good value? Build quality is quite agreeable and nice upfront, but sit in the back and you can see some cost cutting. Our test car lacked rear seat adjustments and had few controls other than for the windows. For a $100,000-plus vehicle, you might feel like you got shortchanged a bit.

That aside, the EQS is an attractive option given its interior. It's technically a size class up compared to its current closest competition from Porsche and Tesla, but prices are fairly comparable. You also get a lot of standard features.

Mercedes' warranties are average for the class, and the EQS also has a battery warranty for 10 years/155,000 miles (ensuring it maintains at least 70% of its battery capacity). Mercedes also offers two years/20,000 miles of free maintenance, though there isn't much to maintain on an EV.

Wildcard

7.5/10

The EQS 450+ is impressively comfortable and practical. Many of its clever features up the entertainment factor too. However, it lacks the handling prowess of the Porsche Taycan and the outlandish straight-line speed of the Tesla Model S. Some of our test experts aren't thrilled with the way the EQS looks. Mercedes-Benz chose funky over sexy. It does have some interesting lines and details to it, but some luxury EV shoppers might expect more.

Which EQS does Edmunds recommend?

If you just want an EV alternative to a growing mass of Teslas, a base 450+ in Premium trim does just fine. It gets you the maximum range and comes loaded with plenty of luxury features. That said, the Pinnacle trim is a pretty good deal. The extra cost is worth it to get high-luxe items like massaging front seats, heated and ventilated rear seats, and upgraded infotainment.

Helpful trims summary and side-by-side comparison chart

Mercedes-Benz EQS models

The 2023 EQS is Mercedes' all-electric large luxury sedan. It comes in four variations: 450+, 450 4Matic (new for 2023), 580 4Matic and AMG EQS. The 450+ comes with a single electric motor powering the rear wheels. It produces 329 horsepower and 419 lb-ft of torque. The 450 4Matic has dual motors and all-wheel drive that combine for 355 horsepower and 590 lb-ft. The 580 4Matic also features all-wheel drive but has more powerful motors that deliver 516 hp and 631 lb-ft. The AMG EQS uses the same powertrain but boosts power to 649 hp and 700 lb-ft of torque. There's even a Race Start mode that temporarily increases output to 751 hp and 752 lb-ft for blistering launches and acceleration. All EQS models use a 108-kWh battery pack. Keep reading for more information on the EQS' range and features.

The EPA estimates that the 450+ can drive about 350 miles on a fully charged battery, which is impressive for an EV. Even better, we exceeded that estimate in our real-world range testing, driving a total of 422 miles. The new 450 4Matic and 580 4Matic are EPA-rated for 340 miles of range, and we extracted 381 miles from the 580 in our testing. The AMG EQS is rated at 277 miles of range.

The S class is always considered the "best" Benz, well this EQS in 580 form is better than its internal combustion counterpart in every way except one, as a limousine.

EQS 580 - A Mixed Bag of Innovation and Glitches

buddhaweb, 10/18/2023

2023 Mercedes-Benz EQS EQS 580 4MATIC 4dr Sedan AWD (electric DD)

Likes: Interior Excellence: The inside of the EQS 580 is nothing short of luxurious. The seats provide unmatched comfort, and the overall ambiance inside the car is calming. Comfortable Ride: The car rides very smoothly, providing a serene driving experience that's unparalleled. Ambient Lighting: One of the highlights is the ambient lighting. It's simply mesmerizing and enhances the … driving experience. Stunning Exterior: The car's exterior design is a head-turner. I've received countless compliments from strangers, which is always a nice ego boost. Heads-Up Display with AR: The augmented reality heads-up display is state-of-the-art and offers a futuristic driving experience. Hyperscreen: The hyperscreen is simply amazing to look at and elevates the dashboard's appeal. Disappointments: MBUX Voice Assistant: This feature is a letdown. It's unreliable and feels more like a beta version than a polished final product. Regenerative Braking: Noticed a gradual decline in the braking strength over just a few months. Screen Functionality: While the screen's size is impressive, its utility for entertainment is questionable. Watching popular streaming services like Netflix or Hulu is a drag due to the sluggish internet browser. Lane Assist Issues: The lane change assist is hit or miss, working effectively only half the time. It struggles even in areas where lane markings are strong. Auto Steering: This feature can be jarring. It disengages unexpectedly, especially on curves or poorly marked areas of the freeway. It's particularly unreliable on winding roads. Gesture and Voice Control: Trying to showcase the gesture and voice control features can be more embarrassing than impressive, given their inconsistency. Auto Braking Flaw: The unexpected braking in situations with no apparent obstruction is deeply concerning. This glitch has occurred multiple times, posing a safety risk. Low Front Bumper: The car's design has its drawbacks. The low bumper often clashes with parking stops or sidewalks. Profile and Seat Adjustments: The lack of key fob profile association means manually adjusting seats every time there's a driver switch – a hassle in a premium luxury car. Retractable Door Handle Concern: The door handle's auto-retract feature has proven to be a safety hazard, especially with young kids. My toddler almost got her fingers caught, raising questions about its design foresight. Customer Service Experience: Reporting these issues to EQS customer service led to a visit to the dealership. Unfortunately, the expertise to troubleshoot some of these complex concerns seems lacking. Even after a firmware update, many of the issues persist.

Mercedes-Benz EQS vs. Porsche Taycan

The Porsche Taycan is one of the best cars on the road today, electric or not. It's not as spacious as the EQS, but it's comfortable and well appointed. It's also way more fun to drive. The Taycan 4S trim performed well in our real-world range test with 323 miles, but it can't touch the whopping 422 miles of range we got in the EQS 450+.

Mercedes-Benz EQS vs. Tesla Model S

The Tesla Model S made EVs sexy and aspirational. Since its debut way back in 2012, the Model S's sleek styling, eye-bending acceleration, and impressive practicality have made it a benchmark for how cars of the future can look and behave. Access to Tesla's vast Supercharger network is a boon too. Rolling updates have kept the Model S relevant as competition grows around it, but build quality is short of what you'll find in the Mercedes.

Mercedes-Benz EQS vs. Audi e-tron GT

The Audi e-tron GT is based on the Porsche Taycan, though the design, tech and feel are distinctly Audi. It looks great, the base model makes more power, and it's more fun and responsive to drive. Go with the EQS, though, and you'll get more available driver aids, longer range and greater overall comfort.

Safety

Our experts’ favorite EQS safety features:

Pre-Safe Impulse Side: If an imminent side impact is detected, the outboard side bolsters inflate in a fraction of a second to protect the occupant's body.
Evasive Steering Assistance: Warns if an obstacle is in the path of the vehicle and automatically steers around it if there is adequate space.
Active Blind Spot Assist: Warns if a vehicle is in your blind spot and will attempt to prevent you from steering into that lane.
