Great review, thanks. I am looking at getting one and your review helped me a lot. Cheers!

Thank you so much, we appreciate the positive feedback.

[@davidevans2585]

Great review. This reminds me of the old R Class, especially the 7 seater. I feel that if the R class was still available, this is what it would have looked like.

I was next one yesterday on our way to a highway on-ramp. Red light. I didn’t bother to race him as there was no way I’d beat him to the ramp. I’ll just catch him on the ramp, I thought. While I did manage to close the gap somewhat, there was no way I’d catch him in my MINI I was really impressed with how stable and quick the EQS was on the ramp

[@lewismc7784]

[@bcluett1697]

I wonder if the wheel size option not being available was due to lack of winter tire for it? They're mandatory some provinces so maybe that was why.

You missed the best regen option. "D Auto" if you hold the right paddel behind the wheel (shifting up), it will go into "auto" this will adjust depending on the street, upcoming tempo change car infronts and so on. Perfect, best in class.

[@anteriokittrell5441]

Are the Mercedes squeaky interior plastics standard?

Why not offering a desired AMG version, which would provide zero-to-60mph slightly below 4.0 seconds (matching my present 2016 Model X) ?

[@andreaspencer9813]

Yes, beyond our budget as well but for those who can afford it, they'll really enjoy it. Yes, the middle seat isn't as comfortable as it should be.

[@10OF9OFBORG]

@@andreaspencer9813 Maybe you should get a pillow for your back as you sit in the middle of backseat.

[@bhmbill]

Is the SUV shorter than the sedan? The SUVs are built in the US and the battery plant is nearby as well.

[@andreaspencer9813]

The sedan and SUV share the same platform and the wheelbase is the exact same but the EQS SUV is 20 cm higher.

[@marclangman4836]

Definitely looks better than the sedan. Can it be optioned without the neon?

[@nicholassmith7048]

That's LED, not neon lighting and no, it cannot.

Nice car. Distracting, but nice. Do we really want people more distracted messing with ambient lighting colors when they're driving? Too many menus, not enough hard buttons.... seems like the marketing people took the vehicle safety people and gagged them. Will be interested to see if cars like this cause more accidents due to this.

[@martinzhang5533]

It’s way overpriced, but might be a good buy in 3-5 years when depreciation hits and unlike ice luxury cars these are probably less likely to breakdown and be money sinks.

[@harsheelpatel5389]

So much better n elegant looking than the EQS what was mercedes even thinking while designing EQS

I would be in constant anxiety over running out of juice and not finding a charging station.

[@josemanuelruiz2036]

Nice but TOO EXPENSIVE!!!

[@robp3431]

I really like it, but am wary of Mercedes reliability and expensive repairs after the warranty period.

[@herbertwedermanjr239]

Nice effort on Mercedes part but the front end design not the greatest, and the price is a bit much. Not sure how this is going to compete with the many other options to choose from. To be honest, I’m not sure how EV’s in general will ever really get popular. It was also not a realistic setting for a EV. I would suspect it not be practical to own in the Rockies.

[@Peizxcv]

Canadian don’t even have to tell you they are in the US; they just tell you the city and state like it’s the same country.

🆒️💯✔🔝🚘

[@kellingtonlink956]

It definitely looks better as an SUV. Probably the best looking electric one… that is until Range Rover enters the fully electric game. I think that it has too much flash though. It looks too ‘New Money-ish’… especially at $150 grand! I’m not a huge G-wagon fan, but I’d gladly pay more (even over retail) and even pay the ridiculously high fuel (and maintenance costs) over this EQS. Personally though, I’d wait until the release of the 2024(?) ‘electric’ Range Rover. Thanks for the video.

[@kellingtonlink956]

Btw. That looked like the perfect weekend away… testing a Brand new luxurious vehicle in the majestic mountains of Colorado with the woman I love, a romantic getaway… all whilst someone else is picking up the bill. Well done you guys.

[@mistertee5000]

Super cool but something about it just doesn't scream expensive considering the price and that it's an "S" model Mercedes.

[@nicholassmith7048]

Well the EQS has a cheapish look so therefore this bloated hatchback version does as well.

[@denziiey]

Design is cheap doesn't scream stylish. NOt impressed with the Germans in the electric field regarding design. This is the one thing Tesla did well is that they made electric cars look like a hot commodity. It's a shame their quality control is a big joke!

[@toddjohnson1853]

I currently have a 2019 MB GLE AMG 63s with a range of 420 miles at 75-80 mph highway speeds. The EQS SUV will have a range of 285 at 65-70 mph (test speeds). With a charge of 80% (battery longevity) that means 228 miles before the battery is dead. Plus the fact that the battery looses 2% cell capacity every year gives you a range of 205 miles. The range and charging times are the main drawback. If you use this vehicle around town going to Vons etc great otherwise it makes no sense. A recent quote for a battery replacement on a Chevy Volt with 72,000 miles was $29,000. Whats the battery replacement cost on the EQS????

[@zubkat5196]

[@morganvon5664]

The price is ridiculous. The air suspension can raise the vehicle 30mm? That's 1.2 inches. That's for going over a speed bump in a parking lot and nothing more. I know it sounds weird, but I like to watch the road when I drive. I don't want or need 56 inches of screen to distract me. This may be the future, but it's not progress.

[@adityashetty4989]

Can’t justify the price

[@iloveutubeist]

You are not allowed to open the hood of this thing? Just don't think the suv is designed for an EV.

[@fafiyebijones]

[@pooh4519]

I guess if you can afford this you can afford to wreck it going off road!

[@stuartlim1267]

$140K starting price.... car companies and the government want people to switch to EV and Plugin EV in the not to distant future. How about producing an EV or Plugin EV that average working class people can purchase. A majority of EV's and Plugin EV are north of $45K, it's no wonder the public is shying away from them at the current time. Electricity may be more efficient and cheaper to power a vehicle than gas or diesel but the initial cost is too high for people to enjoy the savings when they have to pay a premium for the EV over the similar gas driven vehicle. Also, the charging infrastructure is terrible in Canada at the current time.

[@dirkmanderin]

That's what the non luxury brands are for.

[@benjaminsmith2287]

This is a high-end Mercedes. When have high-end Mercedes been affordable. There is the EQB if you want to spend less. But it is still not going to be the least expensive option. And people keep complaining about the price of EVs yet the more affordable ones don't sell and the more expensive Tesla Model 3 and Y sell like hot cakes.

[@nicholassmith7048]

Disappointing that Mercedes hasn't figured out how to blend the regerative with the mechanical brakes. That's definitely exposing their inexperience with electric vehicles.

[@benjaminsmith2287]

I'm not feeling a lot of things. I don't like the hyperscreen. I'm sick of screens everywhere and I don't find them to be "futuristic" one bit. I think they're more trendy than futuristic. I also think the ambient lights are heavy-handed. I don't see why we need so much horsepower in cars. And the size of the vehicle is problematic for me as well. Like most EVs, it weighs way too much. I think Mercedes should change their interior direction and go back to understated, German luxury. It's a fine vehicle and refined and well built. But it's glitzy.

[@sjoq9031]

Tesla is better especially at half the price.
