EQS is definitely NOT the most luxurious Mercedes. It ha ONLY AIRMATIC suspension. NO E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL ! GLS is far more advanced in this and MAYBACH GLS is also LUXURIOUS.
There is something about the EQS I can't help but really really like. However the white paint colour really doesn't do it any favours, looks so much better in other colours. Really enjoyed the off road section too.
This is much better looking than the EQS sedan, but honestly looks more like a GLC level vehicle than an S level. I wonder if you can opt to not have a 3rd row and get more legroom in the rear seats?
They're most likely waiting to release a EQ Maybach that has no third row and the special backseats, so this EQS is just normal. My theory Edit: autocorrected to mayback, don’t want to get flamed
I would say that it look like a scaled-up GLA - it has more of a crossover feeling than SUV. New GLC looks better than the EQS SUV in my book. GLA is a good looking car, but for a compact crossover, not for a full-sized luxurious SUV
this video is a roadtrip to colorado and travel guide with all that beautifull scenery as well as a car review which makes you wanna watch it even if u dont care about the car
This is one of the best Mercedes reviews I have ever seen. Mat, much respect for that off road route the people from Mercedes America took you on. I would have said, "No, no, thanks, you get us out of here." That was a fantastic route Mercedes America's team chose because it highlighted every advantage in that Mercedes off road design. I'm a Mercedes hating snob but that Mercedes SUV is a damn nice vehicle. Inside and out. Dammit Mercedes, you make your suv's too nice!
Great video as always Mat! One note: 157 miles with 53% battery left means ~334 miles total not ~297 miles (17:04). It would be 297 if 53% was spent and not remaining, thus the mistake I presume.
Man this is very impressive. Not an easy trail. Now I'm curious how it would perform on snow. This is really good. Only thing I'm worried about now is range.
It really is... its so annoying that they won't back it up with a nice and clean design on the outside. There is no agression on those electric models while they got cars like Glc coupé that look like beasts
For some reason, Mercedes has forgotten that once you go over a certain price point customers care more about how the appearance of the vehicle makes them feel than anything else, so styling a vehicle at this price in order to prioritize range is just stupid. These people have more than enough money to have fast chargers at their homes, and value image and projecting status over all else, they'd happily take 30 miles less range for a more imposing look. Trying to be efficient is for people who have to manage their costs (aka poor people), the customers that can afford these vehicles don't want to project the image of someone that has to spend carefully.
Li L9 is on another level. Nio ES8 half price 0-60 in 3.7 Xpeng G9 fastest battery charge ever. Huawei Aito M7 top notch software All not in UK but better in tech than this.
He's got an interesting accent, the mix of unmistakable German pronunciations with the obvious little bits of American pronunciations cropping up every so often we're really cool, definitely a cool mild hybrid accent
Seriously, the materials of the seats I don't see much leveling on the part of other Premium ones... that's where my impression of the difference starts, because it seems to me the most luxurious!
That building with the prototypes in it is 8 minutes from where I grew up. Been watching carwow for YEARS. Interesting to see Mat somewhere so familiar to me
That's so crazy I work down there and I see those cars all the time wondering what they're doing there. I walk by 16th street mall every day. So cool Mat was down there!
What is that creeking sound? My car makes it when it's on the park brake/electric brake (you have on an EV) and when you go out of it and brake you dont get these sounds. I think it's special to that traffic light/ temporary wait braking?
Carwow, could you do a video one day where you test electric off-road cars (Rivian etc.) around your off-road testing area and compare how bad the range drops while off-roading.
@@LP-fj6sr They don’t really look that much cheaper than those in EQS, and the rest of the cockpit looks much better and more expensive in the GLS But then also I’m the guy that likes to have a few buttons in my car🤷🏽♂️
The EQS screen is far better in person , it looks considerably better and has higher res.. Also, this car has superior fit/finish and ambient lighting compared to GLS.
wow its cool to see Matt in the US again. Im 7 months late lmao but I remember watching him review the Tesla model S Plaid in LA, and he drove north on the 405 through the valley from the Sherman Oaks area; When I watched that I went out with my bf and we drove the same route. we drive a '22 model Y. It was fun to think he drove the same route in a Tesla, thinking back on his critiques about the drive, while experiencing it myself was nice.
@@Talha9M That's the right thing to do. Wait until the EV market has stabilised. Much of the EVs on sale today will be outdated 5 years from now, because every baboon and his uncle is making EVs that will not stand the test of time.
As a Mercedes cult member…. Tesla is quite alright and their engines are lovely, although in Europe they still don’t even have basic assistance features somehow
@@dbclass4075 or maybe straight up Lucid electric motors and lucid space management plus Mercedes everything else with maybe some of the tesla software
I'll be honest , I'm not big on electric vehicles because most are doing the same thing. Since no grill needed they all tend to be bland. Rear ends tend to be bland as well. This one i really like. They put character in the grill. The rear no exhaust but at least a little styling. I love the interior and was really impressed with the off road capabilities. Not hardcore but capable if you need it. I like it..
@@slimconfucius ill give you the Taycan , it does look good but , the ionic eghh not my type of car. Im meaning like the most Teslas or the Mustang Mach e , not much exterior styling to my opinion.
Mat keeps bringing up the "weird noise" when braking in some of his reviewer cars. That's because both the break discs and pads are brand new. Every new car does this until the breaks are "broken in"... (My car did this for a bit as well, then it went away after about a week.)
Lot's of cars shows their speed and Pro reading 10% higher than actual, them as a motor journolist you should also check that for electric cars, at least for range testing videos.
Matt, help! Please review the new X-Trail with Nissan's electric motors running the wheels. Thinking about it as a family car but there's barely any content on it. Maybe you can get your hands on one? Don't forget to launch it! Heard the top spec 4 wheel drive does 0-100 km/h in 7.0s
I actually think the exterior styling looks like a million bucks. Especially the rear for some reason - it looks so elegant and expensive. The profile is a bit Mazda CX-9, but at the same time it has a presence on its own. And the interior is just impossible to match. I really think this is going to be a huge success but it is rather expensive.
MB says that EQS sedan looks like a Corolla because they made is as aerodinamic as possible, but the Lucid is as aerodynamic as EQS, yet it looks much better
Everytime Mercedes releases a new electric car, it makes the electric s class look uglier... It actually feels like it was the first car designed when the creative juices hadn't gotten up to speed yet
Its got a lot to do with the aerodynamics, its the most aerodynamic car in production... And the EQXX is about to trump it very soon... So honestly, its a important stepping stone!
@@Captain_Coleslaw Aerodynamics are no excuse for crappy design. The Lucid Air has functionally the same drag coefficient and looks much better than the EQS The EQXX is impressive and looks good but until it's actually released, that doesnt matter
@@HimTortons if anything, the eqxx proves that they know how to design electric cars. The eqs feels like the rough draft that should've never made it's way out of the paper or system it was designed on
Also when compared to the plaid acceleration is pretty much the only thing the plaid does better…. While being more expensive than a fully specd eqs suv
You also get much better software on the tesla , the mercedes screen looks like sh*t and its confusing as hell . Also some people prefer minimalistic style , mercedes is full of rgb lights , too many screens etc .Obviously the interior quality is better for mercedes , but tesla has improved their quality in the last 2 years and its not so bad .

Looks Like a B class
All my cars are white, why? Because they hide dirt and scratches better than any other colors

best review on a junk EV
Idk why this looks really good, much better than the sedan
Maybe the big, curved surfaces look better on a bigger car, idk. The sedan looks really stupid
Although, I still prefer the GLS's looks
It looks cheaper than it really is though.

Man this is very impressive. Not an easy trail. Now I'm curious how it would perform on snow. This is really good. Only thing I'm worried about now is range.
It's all in the non-factory tires. Car itself had little to do in clearing that trail other than having a shorter turning radius.

It looks easy to draw 💀 It's just plain outside, but inside it's a different story 😂
It’s all about aerodynamics unfortunately mate 😅😅
The electronics looks sooo outdated tho. Windows XP vibes.
It's definitely not ugly... But like Matt said it doesn't have the presence of other luxury SUV'S.... Same as the EQS imo.
It looks good but is definitely overpriced.

Great review. I actually liked the off-road part although I would have liked to let you do it without the guy assistance! But it still looks good
This new Mercedes EQS SUV looks so cool and luxurious! It looks like a huge EQS!
Seriously, the materials of the seats I don't see much leveling on the part of other Premium ones... that's where my impression of the difference starts, because it seems to me the most luxurious!
I thought Andreas was from the American Midwest, but the moment he started speaking. Everything became clear.
Most American sounding German
It’s all features and tech . I don’t see anyone having an emotional love to cars as it was with old beautiful cars beautifully designed
Yeah because these designs would not sell well today, only practicality is looked at. That’s why cabriolets, 2 door coupés etc are also a dying breed
Also, it seems to me that premium brands are designing their vehicles with the Asian market in mind.

What’s Mat talking about?
That car is a stunner, especially in the white 😍😍😍
Yup! And apparently white (the more expensive white paint) is the most chosen color
Somehow I never thought about Offroad capabilities of EVs. But the instant torque is such a game changer.

Once upon a time I would've been excited to see what the "secret AMG" was in your teaser... now maybe not so much...
I was so anxious during the off-road part 🌲
I actually like GLS interior more and I think it looks much more luxurious than the one in EQS suv because those screens look quite cheap imo
