For the interior its the S-Class for me, I'm not a fan of a dash fully out of plastic, compared to wood trims and elegant leather with a screen thats more than enough for everything. I can't watch TV while driving so why do you need it. It's useless to have just the Navigation running on a giant screen, the screens are so big its just a waist of space on them.

It depends where you charge it. The cheapest home tariffs are round about 5p per kwh, Teso are installing 400 chargers in their UK stores, and these will be free for anyone who wants to use them. Ikea, LDL and Sainbury's also offer free charging in some of their branches.... Charged at home, something like this Merc EQS could be around £12 for a full charge. Not bad for 400 miles.

[@pauldoree3967]

At 5p per kwh = between £5-£6. Add 10% for charging losses and you get less than £7. My Tesla Model 3 costs me about £5 for a full charge on the 5p cheap overnight rate.

Great car this EQS. I believe it has the executive EV market to its own. The Taycan is not a car to be chauffeured around in and the Model S is in not comparable brand and luxury wise. So the EQS is probably on the top of the ordering lists with the fleet managers for their corporate executives who more and more need to present themselves and the companies they work for as modern, forward thinking and sustainable. So this is basically every large company nowadays. We will see a lot these on the road in the near future for sure.

I did the sums for you on how much energy was used by the two cars.... EQS: 351 megajoules energy for 213 miles.... S450: 1,768 megajoules for 222 miles! That's how efficient an elec motor is (inefficient an ICE is) And as for CO2 emissions: EQS: 0 tailpipe but 22.5kg CO2 from electricity consumed (if charged in 2019,will get lower as UK decarbonises). S450: 124.8 kg CO2 for 222 miles (or already10%of a fair ANNUAL slice of remaining 1.5 deg world budget) Workings below: EQS 213 miles (from dash) = 342.8km @28.5 kwh/100km (from dash) = 97.7 kwh consumed for trip, @ 3.6 MJ/kwh = 351 MJ energy reqd to move several tonnes of car 213 miles in the way you've driven it. 1kwh of domestic electricity produced in 2019 on UK grid had an emissions intensity of 0.23kg, so 97.7 kwh @0.23 = 22.5kg Co2. S450: 222 miles @ 19.4 mpg (per dash) = 11.443 imperial gallons @4.546 L/ga = 52.01L burned (S450 has an 80 L tank so about right if a bit over quarter tank left). 34MJ per L of petrol, so total 1768 MJ energy reqd to shift ICE (cause most of energy wasted through heat out the exhaust). 2.4 kg CO2 per L of petrol, so 124.8 Kg CO2 for 222 miles (or 119 if prorating apples with apples for 213 miles of EQS)

[@adithyaabhishek8042]

S class look like a car the estate owner has and the EQS looks like a car his son has. The s class of the future needs a facelift more than aerodynamics, or no classy rich man is buying it . 🤷‍♂️

[@FriendlyNeighbourhoodSpidey]

Exactly. Its just ugly.

[@user-ik2zr1cx1u]

A classy rich person would go for a Bentley Flying Spur or Rolls Royce Ghost / Phantom EQS is for people who want latest EV Tech and luxury I mean Model X also looks ugly but its a cool car

[@rongyao2250]

This is your best video ever I’ve always wanted to see you make more videos of the latest S class so it’s the battle between the patrol S class and the electric S class oh yeah patrol the past versus electric the future

[@doltonlodge5133]

I'm curious what the cost per tank/charge is? Has the S Class really won? Although it has done more range per tank/charge is it more expensive?

[@The4Gamers]

the EQS would be significantly cheaper not sure what the figures are tho

[@Brian-om2hh]

Charging an EQS at home (assuming you're on an EV specific tariff) could cost around £12 or so.

[@ohjin]

Abit late, Rory already did a comparison

[@puciohenzap891]

If I wouldn't have to care about long term maintenance, charging, short range etc. I'd probably take the electric version but for driving on my own I'd take a V12 NA petrol S-Class with subtle exhaust mods over any electric.

[@dragospahontu]

The EQS is way more luxurious, and this is the point/target of this car. The S Class falls short to the EQS in terms of refinement.

[@markwilliams5654]

It doesn't have short range what are you talking about

[@markwilliams5654]

So you would make it illegal and drive on the road what a nice person you are not

[@Ueberredet]

Maintenance? The biggest argument for EV probably are the (pretty much non existing) low maintenance costs.

[@Anti-FreedomD.P.R.ofSouthKorea]

The last NA V12 S class was made 20 years ago.

[@dcboi00]

The future S-Class should be a Hydrogen fuel cell powered S-Class giving you the best of both worlds.

[@bsb6239]

Why carry expensive explosive hydrogen around just to convert it into electricity?

[@esm7708]

So an EQS with a 15kwh battery, a fuel cell and a high pressure hydrogen tank. Sounds awful. Or pure electric and electric costs of around 1.5 to 2p a mile.

[@mmaulanayusuf5985]

Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 in EQS is bothering me. Why not the newer tab?

[@rolfknappmann]

Isn't the EQS duo tone? It looks dark grey on the bottom and black on top

[@phile3189]

Unseen but: I would choose every time the real petrol S-class instead of this electric thing.

[@carwow]

We think they're both great choices!

[@l.j.turner185]

If I’m spending that much money on a car I want something uncompromisingly beautiful The EQS doesn’t quite look right; the S Class is stunning

[@BIGGELATO]

Once again, take that EV powertrain from the EQS, put it in the S class, CTRL+ALT+DELETE the EQS... :)

[@zbyszanna]

It won't work. Cars not designed for being electric from the go have to make some compromises that are hurt the desing. You get a subpar product as compared to something designed to be an electric car from the ground up.

[@BIGGELATO]

@@zbyszanna they can figure out battery placement. Center tunnel, under back seats and behind seats, take trunk space, under hood, fuel tank space, there are a bunch of locations. look how they designed the battery pack for the new E-Performance GT63, same concept. anyways, i just dont like the EQS design, the tech is great, the ev part is awesome but the design language and interior tech is behind. other than that EVs are great for comfort luxury cars.

[@Ignacio.Romero]

@@BIGGELATO You can't simply but a battery and some electric motors in an ICE car, you need to design the car from the start. The E Performance has a tiny 6 kWh battery, even the cheapest EV sold today has a battery more than 9 times bigger

[@BIGGELATO]

@@Ignacio.Romero depends on the platforms they're based in with manufacturing modifications. Like Audi/VW platforms such as MEB, PPE, etc. Before making the PPE and MEB, they were based on Gas vehicle chassis, then modified to make EVs. You don't need a tunnel for the driveshaft, transmission, exhaust, then gas tank, and many other components. It gives more than enough room for battery packs. For example, some KZbinrs took Tesla motors and batteries and retrofitted them in Gas cars with a bunch of fabrication work. But for manufacturers would are able to make changes with chassis and other engineering aspects, it can be done. Gas S63 AMG along with S63E which could be all electric. Compromises!!

[@rajanarasimhan]

Why no S580, rear wheel steering and other cool options for UK market??

[@sophuslytzau7186]

This is the comparison everyone wanted to see!

[@muhluq48]

I hope electric cars have design like the petrol one...

[@coolzhowful]

same

[@catalinaember5285]

watchgirls18. com One day manufacturers will change from the awful flat grill design they are all doing, I'd prefer a fake normal looking grill than the plastic-y flat ones

[@pierrickwainschtein9627]

Great video! I would add just one thing in this comparison: the carbon emissions. Assuming the distance is the same for both car, one spend: 342km*0.2 (gCo2/km) = 68kg Co2 released The other 100 (kWh) * 0.25 (Co2 kg/kWh produced) = 25kg Co2 released (and will only improve as the UK phase out fossil fuels). This is the most important metric between these two cars imho. :)

[@sonnyblack0870]

The S-Class wins on looks alone, inside and out. I’m not into all the screens in either of them tho, and I wish MB kept the scroll wheel along with the touch screen.

[@cars9716]

Cadillac:The New Escalade has the biggest screen of any production car. Mercedes Engineering Hq in Germany: Hold My Beer

[@shengzhan918]

that has got to be the most relaxed drag race I've ever seen

[@korswe]

Buy the S-class used three years from now and make sure you buy the extended warranty.

[@Brian-om2hh]

I can't imagine many people would consider buying such a car in 3 years from now..... It'll be virtually worthless 5 years after that.

[@jamisonz3365]

I love the interior of EQS more. It's just so much cooler. Exteriorwise I would say S500.

[@gregsullivan7408]

Even if the S-Class had LESS miles left than the EQS, it's still BY FAR the better car for long distances, because of the GINORMOUS advantage it has in refuelling time! Doh!

[@Stewiedude1]

Thats becoming less significant as development of EVs and chargers continue. The new Kia EV6 can charge over 70% in 18 minutes, basically works out to be for every 3 hours of driving you only need to stop for 20 min, which you should be doing anyway. Plus by the time you've hit a station, plugged in, ran to the loo and grabbed a drink you'll pretty much be there.

[@gregsullivan7408]

@@Stewiedude1 but you have to stop AT A FAST CHARGER every three hours. With a conventional car, I can stop for 5 minutes to refuel, and then go anywhere I like - I don't HAVE to be at a charging station. Of course I agree that things are improving though.

[@Stewiedude1]

@@gregsullivan7408 absolutely its still not perfect yet but you'll only be charging like this on road trips when you'll be on a major road anyway. Rest of the time you'll charge at home and then its infinitely more convenient and cheaper than going to a fuel station.

[@gregsullivan7408]

@@Stewiedude1 incorrect - i don't have a charger at home (I live in an apartment), and doubt I'd be able to install one.

[@Stewiedude1]

@@gregsullivan7408 fair enough in your situation, hopefully other convenient methods will emerge that you can make use of. However 88% of the UK population does have a driveway and suitable access to electricity so the point is valid for almost 9 in 10 people.

The S class looks a lot better than EQS.

It's pertinent to know that investment is essential to make more money. Right guys?

[@nevamorrismorris2640]

Success is dependent on the action or steps you take to achieve it. Show me a man that doesn't have an investment and I will tell you how soon he'll go broke. Investment is building a safe haven for the future: with the right choice of investment that has at least 1% minimum risk and with an Expert guidance, profit and interest should be 💯guaranteed...
