Mercedes-Benz has modernized the electric drive sedan EQS, worked on the appearance and improved the range, but left the price the same.
Mercedes EQS is the flagship of the German company’s range of electric models, which can boast of high comfort and recognized range, but despite this, sales results do not meet expectations. On the contrary: in 2023, they decreased by 46 percent in Europe, and by 11 percent in the USA. In addition, it turned out that the value of an electric sedan drops by half already in the first year.
Perhaps the improved model will change the situation, which will become available for ordering from April 25, and at the previous price – about 110,000 euros (in Germany). The manufacturer will now try to attract EQS buyers with a changed front, which instead of the previous Black Panel got an imitation of a radiator grille with horizontal stripes and a Mercedes star on the hood.
Technically, the biggest change is the new 118 kWh battery borrowed from the EQS SUV, which provides 11% or 82 km more range in the EQS. For the EQS 450 4Matic version, it increases from 717 to 799 km, and for the EQS+ version it goes up to 822 km. The modernized EQS is allowed to tow a heavier trailer (max. load on the hook now 1700 kg, previously – 750 kg), automatic brake system function added, which will protect the brake discs from rust, MBUX-Hyperscreen already in series for all EQS versions, as well as a heat pump with Invertoram, the possibility of using the heat transferred to the electric motor and battery for heating the cabin.
Another new feature is automatic lane change: if there is a slower vehicle in front, the car can initiate a lane change by itself at a speed of 80 to 140, and confirmation with a turn signal from the driver’s side will be omitted.
For 3,686 euros, you can buy the Rear Comfort Package Plus, which includes retractable footrests for second-row passengers, more extensive seat adjustment functions and additional heating in the neck and shoulder area.
