Mercedes EQS (V297) overview
Editorial context for design, cabin, performance, practicality, and buyer notes.
Design
The exterior styling of the EQS retains its aerodynamic liftback silhouette, characterized by smooth, flowing lines designed to minimize drag. For the 2024 update, the front fascia receives a black panel radiator grille adorned with chrome details. A key design change is the addition of the classic vertical Mercedes star emblem on the hood, replacing the flush badge of the pre-facelift model. The vehicle is equipped with Digital Light LED headlights to ensure clear visibility while contributing to the modern front-end aesthetic.
Interior
Inside, the EQS cabin is dominated by the MBUX Hyperscreen, a panoramic display unit that houses three separate screens beneath a single continuous panel. The interior utilizes premium materials, including Nappa leather upholstery, wood trim, and aluminum accents. The front Executive Seats feature massage functions, while the updated climate control system integrates new chrome-accented vents. For rear passengers, the optional Rear Comfort Package Plus allows the backrests to recline up to 38 degrees, significantly enhancing long-distance comfort.
Performance
The EQS offers multiple powertrain configurations, all drawing from a 118 kWh battery pack. The rear-wheel-drive EQS 450+ delivers 360 horsepower and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.2 seconds. The all-wheel-drive 450 4MATIC provides the same 360 horsepower output but improves the sprint to 5.7 seconds. Higher up the range, the 580 4MATIC produces 544 horsepower, while the flagship AMG EQS 53 4MATIC+ generates 658 horsepower and completes the 0-100 km/h run in just 3.8 seconds. Standard models are electronically limited to 210 km/h, whereas the AMG variant reaches 220 km/h.
Practicality
As a large liftback measuring 5,223 mm in length, the EQS provides a versatile cargo area with 620 liters of trunk volume, making it highly practical for luggage and everyday use. The spacious five-seat layout, combined with a long 3,210 mm wheelbase, ensures ample legroom for both front and rear occupants. The standard heat pump utilizes waste heat from the electric motors and battery to warm the cabin, reducing energy consumption during colder weather.
Safety and tech
The EQS is equipped with an array of active safety and driver assistance systems. A notable addition is the Automatic Lane Change (ALC) function, which can execute overtakes autonomously on highways. The car also features an intelligent recuperation system to optimize energy recovery. To address the infrequent use of friction brakes in EVs, the updated braking system periodically applies the brake pads to the discs to prevent corrosion and extend their operational lifespan.
Buyer notes
Buyers comparing EQS trims should note the significant difference in performance and range between the rear-wheel-drive 450+ and the all-wheel-drive 4MATIC variants. While the 450+ is the optimal choice for maximizing driving distance, the 580 and AMG 53 models offer substantial increases in power for those prioritizing acceleration. Specific equipment, such as the MBUX Hyperscreen and Rear Comfort Package Plus, may vary in availability depending on the trim and local market configurations.
