The Mercedes-Benz EQS is the brand’s foray into an electric equivalent to its storied S-Class, which it is sold alongside.
Part of the EQ family of vehicles, the EQS is a major departure from the brand’s more traditional styling, adopting a swoopy aerodynamic shape it shares with the smaller EQE.
It also shares its common EVA2 platform with the equivalent EQS SUV and EQE SUVs.
The line-up currently starts at $155,430 for the EQS 500 4Matic and ranges through to $178,640 for the range-topping EQS 500 4Matic.

The EQS offers interior space superior to S-Class models which preceeded it, with trims consisting of real leather seats, alcantara highlights, and in the case of the AMG-tinged 53, carbon fibre, too. Higher grade cars are offered with heated and cooled front seats with multiple message functions.
The EQS is available in a total of ten colour choices, including silver, two whites, two greys, two blacks, two blues, and a red. Meanwhile, the interior can be chosen in black or grey themes, with anthracite, wood, or carbon fibre highlights.
The EQS range has five seats, all clad in leather trims. The front seats are power adjustable, and offered with heating, cooling, and message functions.
