[@jimirosa]

Thanks alot M8. I do my best. For the time beeing, Unfortunately I do only danish videos at Biler.TV Thanks for watching 🙏😊

[@teriok6783]

I have an EQS580 SUV and you are spot on. It is the most relaxing and peaceful drive that I have ever owned.

[@jimirosa]

Nice car You drive 👍😊 Thanks for watching 😊

[@Sir_Olf]

Doubt it... Why would anyone who has the car watch a review about it.

[@teriok6783]

@@Sir_Olf you are correct. I now have a 2024 Range Rover Autobiography P550e.

[@ModernDayMixtapes]

Loved the rattle test!! Great video overall

[@jimirosa]

Thanks M8. And Thanks for watching 😊

With my bad knees and my bad back, my current e-tron 55 S Line has served me excellently over the past 2.5 years now. It's very comfortable and very quiet at speed. I need a car that I can just slide into, without having to bend right down to the ground or folding myself in half just to get through the door. The car also needs to be comfortable enough for my bad back in order for me to cover the 196 mile a day round trip that I drive 4 days a week for business. As such, sports cars, hatchbacks, and most sedans are out of the question. They are all just too low to the ground and too small for my 187cm frame. My Audi e-tron is coming up to the end of its lease in a few months. I've been searching for a replacement for a few months now. I've been considering switching to the new, updated Q8 e-tron since there was nothing else suitable that I could find to replace the e-tron, at least here in the UK. But over time, and also through watching videos like this one, the EQS SUV has now popped onto my radar as well. This is a sublime vehicle. So luxurious. And not that bad looking either. And eye-wateringly expensive. Yes, it is way much more expensive than even the most option-loaded Q8 e-tron that you can ever get, but I think the extra cost of the EQS SUV is very much worth it. It is a super luxury executive SUV. I'll choose the beige interior though, if I finally make up my mind to choose the EQS SUV. I'm not a fan of dark interiors. Great video. Thanks.

e tron ​​is a lovely car even if it is a bit thirsty. thanks for watching

[@chillout1109]

@@jimirosa The inefficiency issue has been slightly fixed in the updated Q8 e-tron now. The 55 for example will now do 330 miles (WLTP) compared to the previous 55 that could only manage 235 miles. Not Tesla perfect, but much much better than before.

[@humbertocc]

Great Review... only a few reviews are available for this car.

[@jimirosa]

Thanks ❤️😊

[@PAPAKOR]

Greetings Jimi, I'm writing to you from Korea! I wanted to express my gratitude for the exceptional and comprehensive review you provided. It truly stands out. Despite having viewed numerous videos about the eqs580, I found your review much better than those English-speaking youtubers😅😂

[@jimirosa]

Thank you very very much. I do my best 😊 I really appreciate you watching my video and taking the time to send me this message. Best regards to you from me in Denmark. /Jimi 😊

[@talking2wheels381]

Nice video Jimi, thanks for sharing in English version. Cheers!

[@jimirosa]

Thanks for watching ❤️🙏

[@pwhs8]

I got a EQS 580 sedan as a loaner from my dealership and absolutely love it. Would buy Mercedes quality and supreme interiors over Tesla any day. Smooth ride, fantastic torque, and fast. The massive screens, lighting, and massage are amazing. Downsides are these are incredibly heavy and don’t stop or corner all that well

[@jimirosa]

I agree 👍😊

[@TheImy78]

Appreciate this!

[@jimirosa]

Thanks for watching 😊

[@macintoshblogs]

Hey Jimi, Hello from LA. very well done review. keep it up. would love to see you do a review on the BMW IX and compare that with the EQS. I picked up the EQS SUV 450 4Matic few days ago. Had the Etron before that. i should say the drive quality of EQS is beyond the eTron. Cheers !

[@jimirosa]

Thank you very much Mate. Unfortunately I had the iX40 recently but didn't manage to make an English version of that video. The next period is also busy and therefore unfortunately I am not as continuous on this channel which is mostly for fun. Thanks for watching. Best regards from West Denmark

[@Sir_Olf]

9:45 You're supposed to watch the road and not enjoy the sky whilst driving hahaha

[@lordkorner]

Thanks for sharing in English good job.

[@jimirosa]

Thanks. I did my best. for now I don’t do english videos, because of my ressources.. But id like ti get back in english Some time…

[@nirshoham-hazon5515]

Great video. Thx for doing this. As an EV blogger. Do you have any literature on charging till 80% and not 100%. What’s the rationale and science behind it. Thanks for Canada.

[@jimirosa]

Hi there. I’m not an engineer, But for What I know: The architecture of the batteries would ideally be around 50%. That is why you also experience that most LIO batteries charge more slowly at higher SoC. The batteries become "stressed" by standing for a long time with a high SoC. Therefore, you also experience getting a new Tesla delivered with around 30% SoC at the dealer. Heat and high SoC are a bad combination and therefore most manufacturers of cars with batteries containing cobalt, recommend charging to a maximum of 80 or 90%. Thanks for watching 😊 /J

[@AntonChuffeurLH]

It's actually not that hard to get the hood open. And the Burmester-System is just AWESOME, just do the settings right.

[@jimirosa]

You're right. Opening the bonnet is not a huge challenge. However, it requires more than just pulling a handle and Mercedes expresses that it is not for the ordinary user to be interested in what is out there. As for the sound system, I'm unfortunately not that impressed. I come from a Tesla with a clearly superior sound system which is also standard. More linear, more transparent and far more punch

[@AntonChuffeurLH]

@@jimirosa I have been driving my EQS 450+ Sedan now for 1 year and 10 months or just right now over 165500 km here in Sweden. I found the handle to open the hood easy. I have driven many cars with Bowers & Willkins, B&O and Burmester, teslas soundsystem vs those are nothing imo. Now I don't know which version you hade in this EQS 580 SUV you tested. There are 2 versions. I have in my 450+ th Burmester 3D Surround. I listen to every kind of music from Bach to very demanding Dark Goa Psycedelic Trance. And it perform amazing! As I said it's all in the settings in th Customize-options.

[@bill_heywood]

It looks an amazing car, it should be for over a million kroner (it actually appears to be cheaper in the UK which is a surprise). The great thing is how the EV technology is accelerating away from what ICE cars can do “Top shelf materials” in the UK refers to dirty magazines - the newsagent put them out of sight on the top shelf 😉 We would say “top drawer materials” to imply premium quality

[@jimirosa]

😂😂😂 Thanks for helping a dane trying to speak english. Actually the car is close to 2 million DKK here. But thats with All the ekstras that this car has…

[@CMCNestT]

You should compare the Maybach EQS 680 not the 580 to the Maybach GLS. First reviewer I have seen that says Burmester is mediocre.

[@jimirosa]

The 680 Mayback had not been launched when the video was recorded. Regarding my assessment of Burmester, I still mean what I say in the video.

[@peterfessier9780]

I think the exterior is okay, but it’s definitely not beautiful. The interior is lovely, but I think I’d be missing the knobs and switches I have in my car. I think doing most things from the screen gives a sleek look but I’m not sure it isn’t form over function. I’ll be interested to see if Mercedes keeps the hyper screen or eventually goes back to having more tactile controls. It’s hard to say what things you will forget about and what you will miss, but I think the volume knob still works better than any other volume control. Luckily I can’t afford the car so I don’t really have to worry about what Mercedes does. Your review was great, very professional and good use of music for drama. 😊

[@jimirosa]

Thanks for your input Peter. Besides, I can't afford the car either 😂👍

Battery warranty: good luck proving that you have

[@jimirosa]

Far fewer electric cars than predicted have had problems with the battery. In fact, in Denmark we now see electric taxis that have driven more than 600,000 kilometers on the same battery pack. The few cars that have been challenged have had the batteries replaced under warranty, if they were still covered. Aviloo is a good method to test batterypacks

[@Fluterra]

@@jimirosa ok great, thanks. Having just signed a 4 year EQS lease, it would be good to know if it makes sense to keep it after the lease ends.

[@Fluterra]

@@jimirosa I just read the Mercedes battery warranty. It’s unfortunately not nearly as rosy as you wrote above. First of all, any decision to replace or repair is strictly up to MB. They even select how to measure the capacity/performance of the used battery. Then there is a Long list of exclusions that could render the warranty null, such as driving over curbs, any type of accident or even the car being hit by anything. It’s clearly solely up to MB. I wouldn’t count on anything being done. 600k km must be a very small group. Just like with a gas car, you can keep a car on the road indefinitely if you’re will to take care of it and spend the money.

[@trilingualkid]

you dont think a fossil fuel car can drive better than that? have you driven a bentaya? or much less Mercedes S580?

[@jimirosa]

As an inveterate car geek with lots of kilometers in many different cars (also the enormously fun ones), what I convey in the video is my conviction...

[@trilingualkid]

@@jimirosa thats fine, you can be a car geek and never been in an S class or a Bentley...ultimately you can say whatever you want, its your channel but to say that, this car is better than many other highly expensive ultimate fossil fuel luxury car seems to be an ignorant statement.

[@KevTN]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@trilingualkid I own an EQS, I also have driven an S-Class, and also a G-Class and I enjoy the drive in the EQS much more than the other 2. Also, I don’t think it’s fair to compare this car to “highly expensive fossil fuel luxury cars”, they are on a completely different level.

[@torsung81]

Lol, no. Car is horrible. My Ford Focus is better than this. Looks better, drives better, SOUNDS better.

[@jimirosa]

Apart from the appearance, which is subjective, I don't agree in any way. I have owned a Focus myself and it’s ridiculous to compare them.

[@AntonChuffeurLH]

@torsung81 Ehm... I think you are pretty out in the blue here... 😂
