First impressions: sculpture meets SUV

The Mercedes EQS SUV looks like a battery-powered stately home on wheels — long, wide and unmistakably Mercedes, at 5,125 mm of length and nearly 2 metres across the body. Sculpted surfaces and a continuous light signature give it presence without shouting, while the sloping roofline keeps it from feeling boxy despite its mass. On the road it reads as premium and aerodynamic, a luxury statement that still manages to hint at sportiness rather than pure limousine formality.

The cabin: high-tech calm with soft surfaces

The interior wraps occupants in satin-like surfaces, open-pore woods and one of the most talked-about dashboards on the market, with the MBUX display islands and available Hyperscreen dominating the view. Controls are mostly touch-based but tactile shortcuts and physical climate knobs keep daily tasks straightforward, while ambient lighting and high-grade upholstery reinforce the premium mood. For those who value quiet refinement, the EQS SUV delivers a hushed, limousine-like environment ideal for long trips or making an entrance.

Space and practicality: roomy, but remember the scale

Rear-seat passengers benefit from the electric platform’s low floor and generous legroom, and luggage capacity starts at 645 litres expanding to around 2,100 litres with seats folded — plenty for family holidays or bulky shopping. Payload and curb weights (typically in the 2.7–3.1 tonne range) underline the car’s heft, so urban parking and tight manoeuvres demand attention even if the cabin feels spacious. Child seats, everyday cargo and longer trips are all well within the EQS SUV’s remit, but its physical size is something to consider for city living.

Drive character: composed luxury, with real shove available

Power ranges from about 360 hp in the more efficient set-ups up to 658 hp in the Maybach performance variants, with 0–100 km/h times spanning roughly from the mid six-second range down to the low fours for the quickest cars. On the move the EQS SUV is intent on comfort — air suspension and sophisticated damping smooth bumps while electric torque offers effortless overtaking and instant throttle response. The payoff is confident highway cruising and strong mid-range thrust, although the vehicle’s mass dulls razor-sharp handling and asks for measured inputs through twisty roads.

Real-world range and energy use: long hauls are possible

Battery packs sit in the 108–118 kWh region with official consumption roughly 19.6–21.9 kWh/100 km and WLTP ranges claimed between about 615 and 695 km depending on version and drivetrain. In everyday mixed driving expect fewer kilometres than the headline numbers — roughly 350–550 km is a realistic window depending on speed, load and weather, so long-distance trips are feasible but charging planning still matters. Efficiency is competitive for a luxury heavyweight, yet cold weather, high speeds and sporty driving will noticeably increase consumption.

Tech and assistance: semi-autonomous chauffeur with personality

Advanced driver assistance systems and an expansive infotainment suite are central to the EQS SUV’s appeal: adaptive cruise with lane-keeping, active steering assist, parking aids and over-the-air updates are all part of the package. The display and voice-controlled MBUX ecosystem make navigation and cabin settings intuitive once acclimatised, and features like augmented navigation cues help on complex routes. These systems reduce fatigue on long motorway stints and add convenience in town, but they work best when treated as aids rather than full autonomy.

Who should consider one: luxury buyers with tech and space top of list

The EQS SUV suits buyers after a luxurious, tech-rich electric SUV with genuine long-range capability and a variety of drivetrains and power levels to choose from — from efficient long-range variants to high-performance and Maybach-level comfort. Current versions cover a wide spectrum of outputs, drivetrains and trim levels, so customers prioritising chauffeur-grade rear comfort or sporty straight-line performance can find a match. Those with tight parking or tight budgets might prefer something smaller or lighter, but for a flagship EV that prioritises comfort, technology and presence, the EQS SUV is a compelling candidate.
