About the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV
The flagship SUV model of the Mercedes-Benz all-electric model range, the EQS SUV defines what a luxury electric SUV should be. Nappa leather upholstery and standard air suspension make for a supremely comfortable interior and ride, with a level of quietness you might never have experienced in a vehicle before. As an alternative to the silence, the EQS SUV comes standard with a premium Burmester® 3D Surround Sound system with Dolby Atmos. As the name suggests, the EQS SUV is related to the EQS sedan, but a number of details set it apart, including the optional third row of seats and an off-road mode that adjusts suspension settings and throttle response. A full suite of active driver-assist technologies and an immersive infotainment experience made possible by the revolutionary MBUX system are just two other reasons why the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV is far from your typical all-electric SUV.
What the Critics Say
Inside, the EQS SUV features the type of rich materials and high-tech equipment that define modern-day Mercedes-Benz models. Its list of standard interior features includes 56-inch Hyperscreen, which stretches the full width of the instrument panel, plus selectable ambient lighting, heated and ventilated front seats, leather upholstery, a panoramic sunroof, and wireless charging. The fit-and-finish is impressive and the cabin is also rife with thoughtfully-designed storage spaces, including a large bin below the floating center console.” — Car and Driver
The material quality in the EQS SUV is outstanding. Everything you touch from the driver’s seat feels premium. The seats are supremely comfortable. The steering wheel has a nice heft, feeling luxurious without being too chunky. We also love the multi-color ambient interior lighting throughout the cabin, which looks especially cool while driving at night.” — Kelley Blue Book
What’s New for 2024
Several key improvements help bolster the already impressive reputation of the all-electric Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV for the 2024 model year. Engineers have tweaked the battery chemistry, resulting in greater driving range and performance figures while retaining the same size battery pack. All-wheel drive models now include a clever disconnect feature that also helps maximize range. A new heat pump feature boosts cold-weather HVAC performance inside the EQS SUV as well.

Capable Performance
Combining jaw-dropping efficiency with exhilaration, the all-electric Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV is the ultimate expression of a luxury EV SUV. Featuring a standard 108.4 kWh battery pack, the EQS 450+ delivers a combined system output of 355 horsepower and 419 lb-ft of torque. Step up to the EQS 450 4MATIC® SUV to experience the added confidence of the legendary 4MATIC® all-wheel drive system. Topping the range is the dynamic EQS 580 4MATIC® SUV, delivering an impressive 536 horsepower and 633 lb-ft of torque. With a maximum driving range of up to 339 miles combined with state-of-the-art DC fast charging capabilities, the EQS SUV proves that there’s never been a better time to make the switch to an all-electric vehicle. The EQS SUV delivers a remarkably smooth ride thanks to its standard AIRMATIC® suspension and Adaptive Damping System Plus (ADS Plus), helping to absorb road imperfections with ease.
Luxurious Interior
The largest and most luxurious SUV in the all-electric Mercedes-Benz vehicle lineup, the EQS SUV features an interior made from only the highest quality materials and the latest in luxury technology. Heated and ventilated Nappa leather seats are bathed in natural light from the panoramic sunroof by day and the customizable LED ambient lighting by night. Seating can be configured for either 5 or 7, with 5-seat models boasting 31 cubic feet of cargo space behind the 2nd row of seats. An incredible Burmester® 3D Surround Sound system with Dolby Atmos comes standard and provides movie-theater-like sound. An impressive assortment of interior color combinations and tasteful accent materials make it simple to personalize your EQS SUV to match your own individual preferences.
Incredible Technology
Impressive as the electric drivetrain is, it’s only the start of the impressive and cutting-edge technology you’ll find in the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV. Like the EQS Sedan, every EQS SUV comes standard with the revolutionary MBUX Hyperscreen, a 56-inch screen that spans the entire dash and incorporates the gauge cluster, a huge infotainment screen, and a passenger screen for controlling climate, massage seats, audio, and more. There is a head-up display that can incorporate an optional augmented reality feature that projects street names and arrows over your view through the windshield, all in real-time. There is an option for rear-seat touchscreens as well, for those who intend to sit in the spacious back seat. Model-specific LED lighting adorns the stylish exterior.
