Thomas is always spot on with his criticisms and compliments. Perhaps it's time to start "Thomas Automobile Consulting"
=)
I 2nd this
The criticisms sound just like the compliments, pleasant, so courteous and even cute.
It’s unusual for an SUV version to be better-looking and more elegant than its sedan counterpart, but that is clearly the case here. Great review, Thomas! Thank you!
Agree!
I'm not a fan of the subscription features either. The consumers can kill it by not supporting it. I've been watching your channel for years and the reviews are always great! Thank you Thomas and Crew!!
Great to have u here!
One of the best car channels on youtube! Thanks Thomas and team - love your work and dedication. Question: Do you know if the EQS comes with a heat pump (standard or optional)?
thanks m8 !
No heat pump for EQS nor EQE
I hate to say it, but this is the best looking member of the EQ class.
Great review mate !!!
Always like the detailing in the review!!!
thanks! Feel free to recommend =)
Great job, Thomas! Excellent review.
thanks m8 !
Have been waiting for this 😍 well done on getting it out so quickly!
in your service!
I like the fact that you review the car in all it’s aspects, positive and negative ones. Some other journalists do their reviews as if they are promoting for the car…. Good job Thomas.
Appreciated!
Great job, Thomas! Excellent review
highly appreciated !
amazing review as usual Thomas!!
Thanks 🙏 we ll also deliver a driving review in autumn
Great review like always 👍🏼
thanks please recommend =)
Great job👍
Awesome review as always, Thomas. Beautiful suv and the front design is more befitting of an SUV than a sedan. Not sure why mercedes did not create a seating comfortable for an adult in the 3rd row since EQS SUV I believe is in the same family as GLS. Thanks.
thanks m8 !
I would like to see the family of 7 where all are above 1,85m (Thomas size If i remember correctly) and drive in the same car.
The 3, max 5 existing ones in europe are probably not justifying making the car longer...
A good friend has 3 siblings, so with parents they are 6 and back then, when they still went to school and travelled together they magically managed to seat the little ones in the area with lesser space in overall way less comfortable cars.
Crazy concept, right?
And i don't think a S class SUV is the typical workhorse where you need to squeeze in the colleagues to drive to a customer or whatever.
@@onepunchbud1472😊 that is a good point. Thanks
Very nice...the 5 seater version is something i will consider. The saloon is nice, but as you say, the seats/comfort could be better.
You NEVER disappoint!! Your reviews are thorough and thoughtful. I just watched you review the MBZ EQS SUV and wondered how do you prepare so thoroughly since the car was just released to the public and your detailed knowledge of the car was impressive. What’s your secret? And, your charming presentation separates you from other reviewers. Thank you. Danke Schoen 🙏
Appreciated! Please recommend our channel 🤗
Indeed a lot of work goes into preparation always
Agree your comments that the new buttons that are combined in panels are a backward step. Everything else looks great except sedans are much more elegant.
Awesome. Keep up the good work.
Cheers! Please recommend ☺️
Nice review. Will be really interesting to see the EQE SUV when it comes.
Your reviews are just the best - thanks for this - it is absolutely on my radar - I had a look at the Audi E-Tron today- just to see what it was all about - I was there 15 minutes an not one person approached me - great car I am sure but too austere - each car in their showroom bar one was black with a black interior and black wheels. As a current Mercedes customer I am prepared to wait. Also when you walk into a Mercedes showroom you are greeted, welcomed, offered a seat, a salesperson and a coffee!!!!!
The no bow EQS looks great!! And I'm not an SUV fan. Wonder how it would stand up to the iX?
Looks much more special and premium than the ix
@@arim850 It looks way better exterior amd interior than the iX. I bet the EQS won't be any more expensive than the iX
@@jj_cars99 eqs will be more expensive because its a benz. S class was always atleast 10k more expensive than 7 series or a8
The Mercedes is initially easy on the eyes. The IX is more challenging, but also more futuristic and unique, what I would want for an EV. I also like the simplicity and modernity of the BMW interior. The IX M60 in black with bronze trim looks really interesting.
@@arim850 Still, most people might rather spend 10k more on an EQS. The iX just looks so hideous and ugly and it might draw buyers away.
I currently have an EQC so would like to see the AMG variants of this SUV
Great video and awesome vehicle. Thanks!
👍
Nice review! Yes, more real separated buttons should be better (I love Mazda!) 😉
cheers !
Those three screens are amazing.
Thats why i love mercedes my fave brand... thank you thomas always best!❤
Nice review Thomas! However, given that older models had height adjustable air suspension, it wonder why it's software-locked on the EQS in US/Canada? Seems backward. Please help us raise this question with Mercedes 🙏🏻
As for the slide out door handles, just running a finger along the length of the door seems to work 100% of the time for me.
Thanks 🙏
No idea
Glad to see Mercedes finally has a SUV on a pure electric platform
Yeah, i agree but still, a pure electric platform but still no true frunk? What is that, such a waste of space imho
their first mass-produced EV was actually an SUV, the EQC. they also have the EQB and EQA in production now.
@@twosixtwosixfivetwo yes, but those where not built on a pure EV platform which the comment was talking about
@@Jeppelelle oh right
$50k CAD to replace the EQS battery. Prepare for that after 10 years of ownership. NO THANK YOU I am keeping my 48v mild hybrid GLS.
Mercedes really are leaps and bounds ahead of Tesla when it comes to the interior design - I love it. Looks a little conservative on the outside, hopefully the full on AMG version will give it more of an assertive presence.
I'm sure it will sell like hotcakes! 🔥
Indeed. But they will still be way behind with range performance efficiency software ota updates and charging infrastructure.
@@JAM_2024 Why, it can use all the HPC plus Tesla chargers because it is 400 V.
any brand > tesla
That is exactly as you puts it Stephen. Mercedes knows how to make it pretty but build the trade off is the quality and drive quality, engines are worsen for their cheaper range such as GLC, GLB OR GLA.
Hi Thomas, nice video as always. No one ever explains if the passenger screen has acces to media streaming apps like TH-cam, prime, netflix and how easy it would be for the passenger to watch movies. I'm looking for a road trip vehicle and I want either this (5 seater) or the ix50. Will be travelling from England to Poland so I would like the passenger to be happy lol. What are the screens in the back like for streaming movies? Many thanks.
Thanks! It will feature TH-cam
The design looks SO much better than the EQS sedan. Can't wait for the AMG/Maybach variants to spruce the design up even more! Great review!
As a BMW G05 hybrid owner, this Mercedes interior is spot on perfection. None of those LCD panels that come out at you.
Hi Thomas
The rounding on the backend reminds me a bit of some VAG SUVs, a mix of tureqn and cayenne. AND WHY.. the fake exhaust. + i miss a frunk for cables and light package for vacation/ overnight w. hull luggage. dont like the seat buttons on the door and piano finish. But i love the interior.
Greetings Henrik!
One could live in there.. ok, it's missing a kitchen and a bathroom, but still! Wieder eine fantastischen review Thomas! 👌
Appreciated! Please recommend our channel 🤗
This looks wayyyyy better than the EQS sedan.
Agree
Thanks for the great review. Can’t wait to see the EQE station wagon! Hope they bring it to USA.
A station wagon?
@@autogefuehl You might call it an ‘estate’. In the US, it’s called a station wagon.
Will this have the rear wheels turning similar to the EQS?
Yes
Great review Thomas, by far the most detailed and relevant I have seen.
Thanks Matthew 🙏🙏🙏
A beautiful car, thanks Thomas.
Appreciated! Please recommend our channel 🤗
wow looks even nice than what i thought
Very nice suv and now let’s see how it compares to the iX which is also good EV but polarizing in it’s looks. Looking forward to that comparison.
Thomas thanks for doing the 3rd row seat. This just made the current generation of GLS and GLE looks more usable. Also in Canada the cost of replacing a EQS battery is around $50k CAD so after 10 years of usage it would be a nightmare compared to only spend $5k to replace the current 48v battery of the mild hybrid system. Economy wise the current GLS and GLE 450 (7 seater configuration) is looking like the best thing to own for long term as I cannot see someone spending $50k on gas, and fluid change in 10 years. Until they manage to improve cost of battery replacement and develop the battery to make it smaller with the same KWH. These electric cars are looking like disposable vehicles now.
Cheers!
i don't think the replacement cost of batteries will be the same in 10 years, pretty sure it will decrease. Also could i ask you what is your source for that 50k CAD?
@@karlk.6819 service manager in MB. He is a good friend of mine.
love the extremely detailed timestamps
Absolutely enormous!
looking forward to Thomas+ Supercar Blondie duet
I absolutely love this car, but before deciding on getting one, I must see how the facelifted GLS is.
Really wanted this to have a decent third row or at least 3 isofix points on the 2nd row, oh well back to the model X for a future order .
Is this line up coming to the US anytime soon?
yes
it is actually build FOR the US and also IN the US
Are there any indications of pricing yet?
I guess start price from 80k€
Hi, the Rear Axle Steering have 2 options because of the diferent wheel size. In configurator you can pick size of wheel and then you have only one option. BTW: They also cost the same.
Nope that’s not the reason. It’s just an additional fact that when the tyres are too big, the 10 degrees physically dont work anymore
The actual reason is that they want to make more money out of the same hardware
@@autogefuehl I just tried it in configurator. You are right its not connected to the wheel size, You just must have a Premium package to can pick a 10° Axle. So maybe its because the better Drive assist system, or somethink. Anywhay, the price is in Czech market the same 41 008 CZK, about 1 700 Euros, but you have to choose the Premium package for almost 12 000 Euros.
Thanks for always taking the consumer's perspective even on a very expensive car like this!
in your service!
Would prefer bigger number (350/450/580) to indicate bigger range, with + suffix for more power / AWD.
Range is the most important metric and 350+ having more range than 450 model confuses me.
Als always at Mercedes the number indicates the power of the car. The "+" indicates the long range model.
I love ❤️ the interior and steering wheel
Thank you for confirming there are no ISOFIX in the two third row seats. Model X 6 seater still seems a better layout from a practical point of view.
in your service
Love it. Just not a bit fan of the light bar stuff…
i ll dream about this suv tonight😁👌
tested recent E class. these buttons on steering wheel are terrible, so great screens, but so terrible user experience!! What the problem to keep mechanical buttons I dont understand.
I guess touch sensitive buttons are more configurable I’ve seen in some cars being able to change the buttons functions to what u want, instead of having fixed buttons! For example u want the sport modes button on ur wheel and don’t care about volume controls u can customize that etc.
Cool
Is it only my feeling that the EQS and EQS SUV seem to be much smaller inside than their ICE equivalents? Seems a bit counterintuitive.
I don't know how is it possible, but I saw this car in Prague a day before it was officially released.
NICE CAR
I think the seat control is an improvement forward, it senses how hard you push it, and the harder you push it, the faster it moves.
Its idiotic when you dont get any feedback. Or would you want a keyboard for your computer too where the buttons dont move when you push them? No you dont.
How much is this car?
Looks great but why don't they have charging ports on both sides like Audi and Porsche. I will not be getting it for this reason
I hope because of you mentioned it time and time again there will be a change in the industry regarding that "Kapazitive BS"!
I find this matt wood also better as glossy plastics. Thumbs up for that MB.
I m pushing towards that!
Does it have any heat pump for higher winter efficiency? I know that EQS & EQE don't...
It doesnt.
@@autogefuehl That's a pity for such a (probably) very expensive car. I wonder what stops them from integrating one... Maybe in the future, let's hope.
agree. They will retrofit a heat pump with a mid-cycle refresh. I am certain about that because they have to
Just use ECO+ mode which uses drive train heat and don a men's fur coat. 😂
Good job Thomas. This looks way better than the EQ sedan and I’m not even a fan of SUVs. Hope this does well for Mercedes.
thanks m8 !
Wow, today is your busy day
Appreciated! Please recommend our channel 🤗
Beautiful car...
Wow
Maaaan this the best looking esuv if it had a frunk it would be a knockout
Shame they didn’t make the last row more spacious by making the car equally long to the standard EQS. Would have made all the difference
It’s a shame mercedes is choosing to waste space underneath the hood. I’m sure there is a better way to package the HEPA filters that allows for trunk space. Teslas have a similar filter in their cars if I’m not mistaken?
another thing...no roof rails? that won't work for people who carries sport equipment. I do hope at least MB have a provision for roof rails like on the petrol sedan versions that there is a cover that you can flip-up and screw in the cross bars.
What a perfect car 🥇
Yeah, this shows the EQC might've been a pretty quick push to just get an EV SUV on the market for Mercedes, while this fully realized, dedicated platform is what they're really capable of. Different size classes, of course, but styling and packaging is much mroe realized.
I agree though in fairness to EQC it has it's own advantages too such as heat pump, simpler quicker door handles that always work, generally cheaper, less distracting screen, for some easier-to-use buttons instead of capacitive everywhere, more components shared with other cars, 4wd as standard, faster acceleration as standard comparing entry models, charge port cover not held on by awkward piece of string, doesn't need complications like rear wheel steer etc. Upgrades like range and charging time aren't quite even double in the real world either and may not be relevant to some users anyway
Awesome car.
i hope you will take this off road with off road mode when you have review driving
I prefer the back to be more square, as my GLB.
The lag from that £8,000 screen!! Another great review Thomas!
Cheers Oliver!
Can you play quake on it?
Mercedes EQS SUV sleek exterior with a very functional & comfortable interior ... Puts BMW iX & Tesla to shame = Mercedes EQS wins ! Slainte' ! Cheers !
BMW range and tech puts Mercedes to shame
No because the EQS has WLTP range of up to 660km. It also recharges 250km in only 15min. And when it comes to tech we dont need to even talk about that.
The a pillar gap onto the bonnet is triggering me. It is beautiful vehicle nonetheless.
Shorter than the liftback (not really a sedan), and not really all that huge total cargo space. Similar to sub-5 meter SUVs, it seems? I bet it's an amazing car to drive, though.
Looks almost like a wagon and the design works so much better than the sedan on the exterior!
9:30 uh no. The buttons do no look cooler. Imagine making it out of aluminum with loud clicks noises. That would look cool.
Also their just seems way to much going on. I assume there is a market for this. But so many screens, electric motors for everything and safety features.
Idk why but I expected it too look much bigger like GLS just looking at this from the outside this seems to be in between the size of a GLC and GLE, looks small for an “s” model
Me too. Totally agree
Looks great. Not sure I like the ‘EQS SUV’ naming system, but I suppose it is the first gen and will probably work itself out eventually. Love your content as always
thanks!! Yes the naming is doubtful...
Maybe" GQS" might have been better as a name
It's the easiest way. There is just the "EQS" badge at the rear. Because it's the EQS-Model, that is available as saloon and as SUV. But no need to writ that down, because you see it.
Like the E-Class since many years. Available as saloon, wagon, coupé and convertible. All are just named E-Class. But if you wanna specify it, you say E-Class Coupé. Same here.
So you just have EQA, EQB, EQC, EQE, EQS, EQV, EQT as models - and the body variants have no separate names. Easy and clear. Why should you give them more different names?
@@TobyStgt with the E class you have the Suv which is GLE
@@TobyStgt but maybe they want to keep it simple and have only EQA,EQB,EQC. Etc
The ‘go to’ car review channel.
🙌🙌🙌
More real buttons and a volume knob and this interior will be almost perfect. 🤷🏻♂️
More beautiful than IX
I think I will wait for the range rover Electric... Much better 3rd row
Door closing sound not really :(
Wow, Im a BMW fanboy but this looks so nice. So much nicer than ugly BMW iX. The front end works on the EQS suv versus the EQS sedan which is not that pretty.
No isofix at thé rear seat?? Why, not for me😑
Maybe the seats are small enough for the other kids?
The Front just remind me older Honda CRV
I do not like the interior Buttons…just horrible!!
My friend has an EQS Sedan and he let me drive it for a day…I kept hitting the wrong button.
I don't like how the A pillar continues down at 2:45. It looks like the pieces don't fit well or are misaligned. I expected more, especially from a press car that everyone will closely inspect.
It's just a piece of rubber that wasn't installed properly. Definitely won't end up in production. Remember this is a merc not tesla haha
@@yecuzz if you look on the other side it looks bad there as well. It looks like a Tesla.
@@Raptorel I know but this isn't close to being released to the public, they will fix it dont worry mate
Black wheel arches make the tires look tiny. Bad move.
Amazing car 😍😍😍
