Mercedes-Benz has dabbled with all-electric vehicles thus far, but the EQS 4-door Coupe (or "slope-backed sedan," if you prefer traditional segment nomenclature), is the German automakers first ground-up EV effort. Billed as the most aerodynamic production vehicle on sale, the EQS has a futuristic bean-like aesthetic that is most generously compared to sci-fi vessel and most callously likened to a Honda Civic. But beneath its conflicted exterior is a lavish, cutting-edge interior to match its six-figure price tag. With tech toys like a 56-inch Hyperscreen display and classic luxuries like a well-insulated cabin, the EQS's silent propulsion only adds to the premium driving experience.
The EQS 450+ appears something of a gap filler between traditional luxury sedans like the Merceses-Benz S-Class, BMW 7 Series and dedicated "premium" EVs like the Tesla Model S and Lucid Air. To be a hit, it will need amenities the current EV sedans lack and a performance efficiency punch the internal combustion 4-doors can't match. Find out if the 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS 450+ seals the deal in this in-depth review.

Every single review the shape of the car, it's like the people reviewing forgot this is a fully electric vehicle so aerodynamics matter heavily. I think MB did a fantastic job both interior and exterior for a fully electric vehicle. And none even cover one of the most important parts of the vehicle, its range. For the price this is way way more luxurious then a Tesla hands down no competition.
My thoughts exactly on every reviewer and people in the comments. Although even when the reviewer mentions aerodynamics they still say something about the shape next sentence smh.
I'm in the minority and have no problem with the exterior, especially the front. I love the look. Still looks way better than the teslas do imo. Of course the interior is amazing, tesla can't come close.
I'm not even a Mercedes guy but this is my favorite EV by far.
Why's it matter all of a sudden? Doesn't it matter to mpg just as much
Great looking car... Good presentation! The driver lane assist
distronic extended restart in stop and go traffic (auto pilot) is better
than Tesla in some ways... Very impressed so far. Yes, I own one of
these.... and traded my Model 3 performance for it... 418 miles per 100% charge... And it even came
with a steering wheel!
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
And it even came
with a steering wheel! Made my day!!

Hey Miles actually Mercedes wants to offer a car in every segment they serve by 2025 and go fully electric by 2030. That's what Ola Källenius said at the IAA mobility in Munich.
I appreciate your reviews which are consistently top grade. Thx, MilesPerHr
Knowledgeably and commendably described.
Thank you for your review! I don't like the sea shell seats either.
That's why I ordered the EQS 580, Edition One, Bicolor in full equipment. The rear seats are also fully equipped so that they are all the same. Delivery should be in February. (Switzerland)
Enjoy! Be sure to let me know how you like it when your EQS arrives
i sat in one of these, they LIT
Vivid Flux is just *chef kiss*
Awesome video man!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing Stuff
btw, the recuperation can be adjusted or set to automatic, not sure if you knew
With hyper screen as an expensive option eqs 580 is a better choice with so many options as standard
Wow wow wow, This Mercedes Benz EQS is a futuristic ultimate german luxury S Class of electric EV cars, Keep up the great content milesperhr, And God bless you!!
God Bless!
With hyper screen as an expensive option EQS
What’s with American drivers? If that were in Europe the Prius would see the EQS in the mirror and immediately pull over. There is little to none Lane discipline.
Lane discipline isn't really a thing in most U.S. states. It's very irritating.
I love the Mercedes eqs it’s very nice and Luxury, I love all electric cars! Can you review the all electric Chevy Silverado when it comes out? I have cerebral palsy I use a walker and wheelchair!
I will do my best to get the new Chevy Silverado EV, yep!
@@MilesPerHr ok cool thanks! Do you like hocking loogies? I do it’s a guy thing lol
Milesperhr Can you do a POV on a lucid air
I'm trying to get one, but it's proving pretty tough!
@@MilesPerHr yep pretty much
Executive Package for is a little better, Yes back sit is not S Class.......
the air filter is mercedes’s recurring revenue scheme.
Wow Is Crazy how all This cars Will be basic Cars before 2030
The EQS undercuts the Tesla drag coefficient by a far margin. You need to get in tune with superb engineering and not absurd or non sense engineering which is common with Tesla and the competition. Mercedes always industry leader never a follower.
yup! And acceleration aside Mercedes beats Tesla both in the electric 4 seater and 7 seater segment
This car is marked up already
In this economy, pretty much every vehicle is marked up right now 🤷
@@MilesPerHr not every car, porsche macans and porsches are still normal priced

Leatherette on an S-class level car is absurd.
Actually most of it is Nappa-leather, only the one motor versions come with the leatherette and have nappa as upgrade while you can still downgrade the bigger versions from leather to leatherette.
Comparing the rear of the S class to the EQS, particularly the cheapest model is nonsense. The S class (at least in the US) is a configured as a "limousine" ergo a chauffeured car where the rear in particular is "sumptuous". Not even the most expensive EQS is configured that way, that's why the S class can be configured to tens of thousands more expensive. In the EQS the rear is the same as the front "luxury worthy" but not palatial, the most expensive trim is similar to the S class but even then the S class can be configured to ever more decadent levels.
By dubbing this the EQ"S", Mercedes-Benz introduced the comparison. This model is intended to top the company's electric range (which, they've declared), will be their future. Therefore, it needs to deliver amenities on par with their current range-topper.
Of course, if you add 20k more to do so. If you had opted for a pinnacle version, the rear would have been even more comparable, though as we are all aware, the rear of the S class can be configured to kingly levels.
I just booked mine for 114k plus 20k more as dealer up charges and I think that’s just too much
Yikes! 🤯
you can buy these at MSRP
The range was 360 on 85% 🤷🏾♂️
Yea the real world range is awesome!
@@MilesPerHr Thats down to the EU measurement, which let european cars look bad compared to US cars in some categories. 0-60 mph or 0-100 kmph is a similar thing. The Model S Plaid 0-100 in EU measurement would be like 2.5-2.7 in cheatmode, so the AMG EQS with its 3.3 is not far off even though its 600kg heavier and 300 hp less. Range is the same game. Never trust the 'official' numbers, always check out yourself.
I think we have started to miss Christina.
She has her own channel and TikTok about cars too!

@@MilesPerHr : Oh wow! I didn’t know about that. Since TikTok is banned in India, I’m left with only her TH-cam channel. And this is the first time that I finally saw her in front of the camera. She looks fun and, well, unrecognisable from her voice because I always thought she was way too serious and planner kind of person. Well, she might as well be a planner but doesn’t appear on the video. No offence please.
Why does she have only short videos on her channel? We’d like her to make a full review.
