CarTell take
We haven't driven the EQS yet. On paper, hyperscreen draws fingerprints and glares on bright days, see it in daylight before committing. Rear headroom is compromised by the sloping roofline, tall passengers should test the back seat.
Why consider it
- 717 km WLTP on the EQS 450+ remains a segment benchmark.
- Optional MBUX Hyperscreen is the most theatrical cabin in the class, rear-axle steering up to 10 degrees parks like a C-Class, Burmester 3D Surround Sound standard.
What to know
- Polarising hatchback silhouette, not a traditional three-box S-Class.
- Only the EQS 400 is currently listed, at $184,900 plus on-roads.
- DC charge peak of 200 kW is short of the Porsche Taycan at 270 kW+.
Who it suits
Chauffeured executives, S-Class loyalists going electric, and long-range EV buyers who actually need 700 km WLTP on a single charge.

Look at the alternatives if you prefer a traditional three-box silhouette (BMW i7), want 800V architecture and faster charging (Porsche Taycan, Audi e-tron GT), or want sports-sedan handling over limousine comfort.
