About the Mercedes-Benz EQS Sedan
Ready to experience the next generation of luxury motoring? The dynamic EQS Sedan is the latest addition to the growing lineup of Mercedes-Benz electrified vehicles. Inspired by the legendary S-Class, the EQS Sedan is intended to introduce drivers to the all-electric future in its most luxurious form. In addition to first-class comfort, the EQS Sedan allows you to experience smooth, streamlined power delivery from a dual-motor electric powertrain that balances both exhilaration and refinement unlike any other luxury sedan.
Along with its thrilling performance capabilities, the EQS Sedan is also proud to showcase the latest iterations of innovative technology breakthroughs from Mercedes-Benz. The crown jewel of the interior is the jaw-dropping MBUX Hyperscreen. Spanning over 56 inches in total width, this remarkable display highlights the emotional intelligence of the flagship vehicle of the Mercedes-Benz electric vehicle lineup. Paired with an impeccably finished yet sustainably produced interior, the EQS Sedan marks the start of an entirely new chapter of first-class travel.
What the Critics Say
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.” — Edmunds
If you’re looking for the pinnacle of luxury and technology in an efficient and engaging EV, then the new EQS is for you. It’s a compelling alternative to the Tesla Model S, beating that vehicle in both build quality and panache.” — U.S. News & World Report
What’s New for 2025
The Mercedes-Benz EQS was initially offered in 2022, and although no major changes have been incorporated since its introduction, Mercedes-Benz engineers have refined the styling for the 2025 model year. There is a new grille, and the interior has some additional chrome trim. But the big change is one that you can’t see. The EQS has a new battery pack, raising capacity from 108 kWh to 118 kWh. This also comes with some changes to the regenerative braking system that helps boost output. Together, these changes result in an estimated 11 percent increase in range.
