In this video, we delve into the major facelift of the 2024 #Mercedes EQS, transforming it into a more traditional yet futuristic luxury sedan. Join us as we explore the revamped exterior design, enhanced interior features, and significant performance upgrades, including an impressive 822KM range on a single charge.
Initially criticized for its soap bar-like appearance, the EQS now exudes a more classic Mercedes-Benz aesthetic, featuring an upright star and grille reminiscent of the iconic S-Class. The addition of #MercedesBenz lights in the headlights further accentuates its elegant appeal, while the MANUFAKTUR Selection Model offers a blend of the new grille with the AMG styling pack for a fully loaded experience.
Under the hood, the EQS receives a substantial battery upgrade, boosting its range to 822KM. With a larger 118 kW battery and innovative features like a heat pump for cabin heating and improved recuperation from braking, the EQS delivers exceptional performance while prioritizing energy efficiency. Moreover, towing capacity has been significantly increased, making it even more versatile for various driving needs.
Inside the cabin, passengers will appreciate the enhanced comfort features, including a forward-moving passenger seat, deeper seating angle for rear passengers, and the addition of a footrest in the rear comfort pack plus. Automatic lane changing capabilities add another layer of convenience to the driving experience.
As we discuss the future of Mercedes #Electric #ElectricCar, including the brand's shift away from an all-EV strategy, it's evident that the EQS represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of electric vehicles. With a renewed focus on customer preferences and a blend of traditional design elements with cutting-edge technology, Mercedes is setting a new standard for luxury electric sedans.
Join us as we uncover the changes in the model year change Mercedes EQS.

wow this looks really ugly well done
Video starts at 3:25
👍🏼👍🏼
Real G
it has heat pump for extended winter range,it has a clutch to deactivate front motor from powertrain in dual motor variants which will lead to 16 percent greater range in dual motor variants and increase of 11 percent in single motor models which is impressive and it will closer the gap between dual and single motor models in range,so you can get similar range in long highway trips in dual motors to single rearwheel drive motors which is impressive indeed,very well done mercedes
No, it starts at 11:38
You kept it real my G 👊🏽
I'm a huge mercedes fan but the EQ series it's not for me
The problem isn’t the front end. It’s the entire car, the shape is just really ugly and not fit for such an expensive car
True
This man said everything perfectly. Cancel the whole damn car...
I think it looks fine.
The electric Mercedes’s are so ugly, doesn’t have the real Merc’s adn ….the sales shows that! On top the build materials quality is poor! What the heck was in Gordon head when they approved this egg???
Very very true. Doesn't look 100k at all. Would never buy this. One of the most dissapointing EV's out there. It should have been like the Mission E/Taycan. They totally, totally missed the ball there. Check out how the concept used to look like in comparison to this. My lord.
someone at Mercedes actually had an idea to design a car after an egg. and they all thought it was a great idea 🤣
🤣🤣🤣 delusional
Hideous.
1992 mazda 121 looked much better
Have you seen one? Did you drive one? I was critical too - then I got one and its an awesome car
@@bavariancarenthusiast2722 that’s the issue, people will bark before trying 😂
Well done Mercedes: You found a way to make the i7 look pretty! These things depreciate in value like crazy, in Germany you can buy an EQS thats not even a year old from a certified dealer with very low millage (20-30k miles) for around half its original price and it even is a clean title. Finding such offers is nothing rare, it just shows that no one on earth wants the Mercedes eq series cars!
100% agree with you here. They forgot the most important thing. People dont desire these cars. They might be good to drive or something, but do I want one? Hell no!!!
@@runeisaksen6781 What makes this even more stupid: The EQS has an air drag coefficient of 0.2 and looks like shit. Just to compare this number: The w205 c-class (a very beautiful car) has 0.23 and a g30 5 series has 0.22. Moral of the story you can make very aero dynamic cars that look fantastic and I am shure that Mercedes would actually start selling a couple units if they would sacrifice a tiny bit of range for a nice looking exterior.
Dude, here in the UK they have literally available stock for every combination of EQS in the premises. When I tried the configurator, I thought it was showing an average time to deliver. I called MB, they told me they have plenty of stock available. By means of plenty, tens of new cars. They do 0.0% APR over here and a discount around £15k without negotiation.
I just wish it STILL didnt look like a 100k+ Toyota Prius. Thats the EQ line's biggest deterrent. If they could just have done an update to the AMG GT body and put all the tech/battery architecture etc It would've been incredible - desirable. IT's got a .20 Drag coefficient - well the W213 had a .23. Its possible to achieve the range and low drag and have a beautiful car.
Well said! Mercedes have totally lost the plot…comparing the new egg shaped designs to BMWs muscle bodies just saddens me! The EVs are damn expensive compared to competitors..the least they could do is give it a befitting body!
I hear EQS and EQE use the same chassis.
doesn't really
The New Prius looks better
My elderly parents have owned over 50 new Mercedes in their lifetime and they would buy a electric one but they hate the electric cars designs, people just want a normal nice looking car not some weird egg shaped pseudo futuristic design
if you aren't an engineer just stfu......
My biggest problem with the EQS was... the price.. imagine paying that much money for a car that looks not that good... or paying that much for a trash e-car which nobody cares in some years...
No worries, the value will drop by a half in just a year.
It looks like a Dodge Dart but priced like an S class 🤢
Still ugly AF. Bandaid update. They need to change the whole shape of the car
If they went the BMW route and made look just like the actual S Class.... it most likely would've sould well.
@@Multifarious1 BMW has been making some hideous cars too to be fair.
@@aye3678 I didn't say they had to look like a bmw. Just follow their formula.
And yes I agree bmw just keeps getting uglier n uglier.
@@Multifarious1 🤣🤣I think so too or maybe it’s the ugly grill and 7 series headlamps 🤣
@@badejavuade6774 I liked the previous one. This split headlamp mess is just ugly. Current one looks like a pig with chola eyebrows
In recent designs Merc has removed the hood ornament and decided to slap 3 pointed stars all over the body and the lights instead which just looks ridiculous…
BMW i7: "oooooh yeah baby. check out my ugly face".
Mercedes: "hold my transmission fluid"
Will anyone buy EQS to drive it? No they can buy the Taycan.... Will anyone buy EQS to sit at the back? No they can buy an i7
Or a real S class...
@@justthevoicebackup280 ICE cars many more choices....
I think it still looks too round and not like a mercedes
Yep, still hideous.
They need to recreate the entire chassis, that shape is just hideous, even the new prius looks better. We need the iconic long straight hood. If ur gonna do short hood taycan did it best, mid engine supercar style
Sticking a fake grill on the front ain't fooling nobody... it still looks like a Model 3 competitor as opposed to an electrified S Class.
Plastic airbag cover looks indeed so much s class 😂
It still doesn't look all that great, HOWEVER, it definitely looks better than before despite the changes being smallish (exterior wise).
The only uglier car is its own predecessor.
It looks like a Model 3 competitor but is priced and marketed like an S class.
The most elegant electric car yet
how is the fit and finish? a question one should ask with all Mercedes products lately.
@Remove Before Race,
Hi. I enjoy watching your videos.
You mentioned heat pump in the clip. Is it purpose to heat a battery in cold conditions and by doing this to improve the range?
800km….
In city.
Bro i dont understand why ppl throwing theese wltp numbers.
On the highway this range is about 450km.
Yup. Specifically when talking about a car such as this one, meant for long journeys
Wow! The return of the classic grill! Thank you Mercedes!
Quick thinking after you said "I love to squeeze them" 🤣 That's what I like about RBR, informative with some humor hidden.
What watch is that your wearing their Raz??👌🏽
For me the biggest upgrade is the rear seats in this update. Correct me if I’m wrong, but when EQS launched, I don’t remember Merc marketing it as an S-Class alternative. No long wheel-base, no PR material of a lounge chair for the back and no dedicated 2-seater thrones, all of which are heavily featured in the S-Class marketing. So now it’s good to see the luxury has been taken a step up in this update.
Personally I think the 7 series with its controversial looks shouldn't be the model for a future S-class. It's just a massive waste of space. I'd much prefer traditional looks (three-box) with smart packaging like in the Lucid Air, meaning huge interior space, a big frunk etc. in a relatively compact car.
About the new EQS. I think it a nice upgrade compared to the previous model.
When I drove the ‘old’ EQS (450+ and 580), I was really disappointed by the comfort of the rear seats. In general I also didn’t get the same luxury vibe as I get with the s-class. Although the driving aspect of it was nice and nearly as comfortable as the s-class. It doesn’t seem to be worthy of the S name imo.
Wow somehow theyve managed to the grill and headlights looking looking more like they cone from a previous gen Honda. Check out the Honda HRV from 2017, that grill amd headlight design looks very similar.
How long does it take to charge?
The basic shape is still ugly, regardless of the drag coefficiency being better.
It's amusing how, despite the lessons from the car tuning scene of the 2000s, Mercedes designers seem to equate elegance with covering a car in LED lights! 😂
The way they can fix this car is by scraping it and make a completely new one
The new face is a vast improvement.
But still a bit expensive and still not as luxurious as an S-Class. Still, a step in the right direction.
I wonder if you can retrofit the new grille in the 2022 model.
So, it has improved range thanks to more battery capacity and updated regenerative braking software, and the car companies why used EV prices are dropping at a faster level vs ICE used models, if every few years, the battery tech gets better, it means the older tech there is absolute (old), so, if not a software update, car companies are destroying the value of used EVs, every time they do a midcycle update or new-gen
All new is hilarity. Hopefully they go the BMW route with the EV version looking exactly like the ICE version
Someone needs to tell them that this car is the electric s class. Just this really and then the designers will make it beautiful
the back looks good. the front is a bit.. if they can make it looks more like the new A class that would've been nice
Real highway range during a heatwave or cold wave would 490 kms and much lower than that after 2-3 years of battery degradation.
Let that sink in
I have an Idea.. traditionaly instead of writing how big the engine is on the back of the car ev manufacturers should write the range🤣
Still looks like a soap bar as you've described it before haha.
Sorry MB, this is NOT enough! I was a S Class lifer and granted parole to the I7. Not going back! In fact, I’m watching this video on the 32 inch TV in my I7!
It’s still missing the white gloves accessory. Who am I to comment on the best car manufacturer flagship product?
They should’ve made a bigger version of the EQ XX and it should’ve been a replacement for the CLS
bro can we get a garage update you have a cool collection
The faux grille looks squashed, I'm not sure it looks better.
People do not understand that EVs need to be round to have range, it is simple physics(aerodynamics).
I still dont like the car but I must say the new grille looks much better than before
What’s the actual range not claimed range. My Tesla Model Y claimed a 530km range, actual range was 250kms+. I respect you but stop quoting your sponsor from Stuttgart 😅
The EQs actual get their quoted range.
@@Itskowo22 ?
Still doesn't look great in my opinion. They need to go back to what the concept car looked like because that was an outright stunner. If they did that, they wouldn't be able to keep up with demand.
That star on the hood, no no no too much
They could have updated the MBUX to match the new one in the E-class
"All New Face" - lol
dont see the point of such expensive ev, to me something like a model 3 is just nice for everyday driving and the money can buy a fun ICE car
Love it!
Dead front on it looks fantastic. I just really dislike the look of it side and rear views. The sooner they move these models to look like the fuel versions the better with updated lights etc. Range is getting there now also.
Ev is not practical if u stay in new york, u need a way to rapidly charge up like gas without affecting the lifespan of the batteries. A car needs to be able to be used for at least 15yrs. I hv doubts merc n bmw will hv 15 yrs software support for their ev cars and batteries
The EQS just looks lame… Its not futuristic nor conventional nor a good marriage of both.
The front looks like lada vesta ))))
Ewww...looks like a prius with merc badges 😂
Still 400v and not 300kw charging speed? 400v architecture is kept at no more then 250kw
Interior crazy but outside is ❌
the star is cool but now we get back to the days where you get that thing stolen
NGL I love my EQE!!
holy cow this looks milesss better than the previous face, Mercedes S Class needs the 3 pointed star
It is not enough, reduce the price by half.
Still on NTG7? . Should have been on 8 by now
It’s slowly transitioning to the S class
Looks like vw bug, how majestic!
The new front is a marginal improvement, but it’s still pig ugly. A new grille and the lovely interior can’t hide that it looks like a vast melted slug. I’m still baffled that Mercedes actually greenlit the design.
It doesn't look better. can we get the traditional shape please, and swap the engine with the battery.🤷♂
I think this Mercedes model looks similar to Fiat Linea.
bigger bigger prius
Why am I getting Chrysler Sebring vibes
Mercedes’ has to change their designers
reminds me of a 2010 mercedes b class :(
Mercedes live in fear that they will fall into the trap that jaguar fell into in the mid 2000s and become an 'old persons brand' - they counter this by always trying to be as futuristic as possible, even if that's at the expense of making nice looking cars
Previous EQS really put the bar so low that you just can’t design anything more ugly than that. Even a Prowler or a Fiat Multipla look gorgeous beside it.
Please put back the car cover on, my eyes hurt
This car is still as confused as when it launched. EQ line continues to fail
822 kM? Who's got a bladder of steel?
only pillows 🤔😉
Looks better than the outgoing model but still not a good looking vehicle.
Used ones are selling at half the price.
Wow…. They made it worse?! Hilarious you suggested and they actually put this back on the hood….
The proportions are still kind of ugly, but it's nice that Mercedes are making improvements to the EQ range.
Over 800km range? Did they test it rolling down a 600km hill?
You probably do 800km in summer in city driving, but then the Q is, why would you need 100+ k eur car for city trips :)
I don't get why they made it so "rounded/egg shaped"? Whenever I see the front hood area... I get instantly turned off. It's such an ugly side profile...
Doesn't have a Tesla charging port and that washer fluid opening is so prominent and depressing to look at. Two big no's for EQS
The North American market will have the NAS charging port
@@Itskowo22 Tesla has chargers almost everywhere , so why not use that?
@@gledatelj1979 Telsa chargers don't use the Tesla charging port in Europe. They use CCS2, same as everyone else.
@@Xenon0000000000001 So why don't other brands use Tesla chargers then?
@@gledatelj1979 Tesla chargers are already opening up to all brands in Europe.
Russian doll design ! The current Swedish CEO of Merc should leave !
What on earth is going on at Mercedes Benz design HQ? All their EVs looks so dull and boring. Why cant they make them look good when the competitors can? Just look at Audi, Porsche, and so on.
If this was a BMW you would have seen criticism all over
Well, I only read criticism for this one. And that is pretty spot on!
Plain Jane !!!!
how many miles, bro?
Nope, nothing S-class about this. Call it the EQZ or so, but this is miles away from an S-class and these will not sell. Mercedes is in for a tough time: no more cool C63 and all cars they push are ugly. BMW for the win
The problem isn't that it needs to look traditional, the EQXX does not look traditional and still looks way better while also being more efficient.
They should have gone that route. This is plain ugly.
9:05 This was music to my ears. EVs are for slaves who will be forced to live in 15 minute cities because their gov won't let them leave in a 5mile radius lol.
The 3 pointed star improves the look a bit, but the base stupid egg design stupid philosophy must be eliminated. Therefore still an utter bs
I like it better. Still nit the best looking car, but almost there
Mercedes in the past 10 years can't make a polished beautiful. They can't make solid reliable cars either that can last 30 years without bankrupting you.
