Very costly but an incredible vehicle. First time watching the new presenter and I’m very impressed with her calm, natural, professional and confident personality. Welcome to the team!

[@matthewmcree1992]

Holy fuck I want this SUV. Frankly I'd be happy to have almost any new electric car, but this beauty has everything I could ever want in a car. And it's quite pretty for an SUV in terms of design. But that interior is absolutely insane. The sedan seemed far less luxurious in the back compared to the SUV (although the front seats are comparable). All that technology and refinement makes this perhaps the most luxurious SUV on the market right now. If I were rich and had a family of my own, this would be my daily driver.

[@planetarylizard1297]

Why are the aribags are open? (And on the headrest of the seats?)

[@21puke]

[@doubleclutchonline5811]

Love all the new EV’s coming to market finally. The EQS is okay. I’ve been in the sedan and I was not a fan. The SUV is better looking and a more useful package. Though most of the luxury features are conventional gimmicks necessary to dazzle buyers and distract them, and aren’t substantial innovations. The interior looks like a cross between a karaoke machine and a nail salon… but at least they don’t make the air vents such a prominent design feature like MB does on most of their other vehicles. I would still go for the Model X Long Range. It is still the benchmark for large SUV/crossovers.

[@localguy123]

Unless we get major improvements in battery technology. EV's will never become mainstream. Introduction of solid state batteries will be a great way to start off.

[@deladonchi]

£7K for the infotainment screen? Lawd ah mercy!! Even if i had £130k I'd be pretty miffed about that option cost. Apart from that, nice car and presentation.

[@nevarran]

I don't like how you showed the seating space. When you show the second row seats, you have to tell how's the driver seat positioned. And when you showed the third row, you clearly had the second row seat moved forward. So it's pointless to show that the 3rd row has lots of leg room, if the 2nd row has none.

[@adrianjudd5327]

I am not sure I have ever failed to see the doorhandle in the dark. The boot is listed as 565 litres which is the same as a GLB and more than 100l smaller than on a GLE. So, quite small. I'd want more space for luggage.

[@hsimpson1152]

This looks so much better than the model "egg". I do feel however that all the gimmickry like power everything and the exterior light show and illumination are mostly unnecessary. That fluid fill on the front fender is also a paint nightmare waiting to happen. It would be interesting to see how many batteries this thing contains, and for that matter how much this behemoth weighs.

[@Todestuete]

The gimmicks don't have their own batteries (obviously).

If I consider the cost and the size of the car you would expect to use it as a cross continental cruiser (and so to replace the airplane), but then the typical range of the electric cars it will make this car pointless.If we reach 700 km of range (at highway speed of course) the car could make sense, otherwise building 100kw batteries just to go and show off on the nearest shopping center doesn’t help the Planet.

A GV60 is a compact SUV while the EQS SUV is full-size. You're comparing apples to oranges here. To get more realistic, the EQB's starting price is $2,000 less than the GV60 and comes with a lot of the bells and whistles as well. The only real difference there is the charging speed in the GV60 is nearly twice as fast.
