Body Style and Size Segment

The EQS is a luxury full-size liftback (F-Segment). Its “one-bow” design prioritizes aerodynamics over traditional sedan three-box styling.

• Length: 5,216 mm

• Width: 1,926 mm

• Height: 1,512 mm

• Wheelbase: 3,210 mm

Platform Architecture

Built on the dedicated EVA2 platform, the EQS utilizes a 400V architecture (upgraded for 2025/2026 models with 800V-like efficiency improvements). It features a 118 kWh (usable) Lithium-ion battery with NCM 811 chemistry.

• WLTP Range: 720–780 km (447–485 miles)

• Efficiency: ~17–20 kWh/100km

• 0-100 km/h: 6.2 seconds (EQS 450+) to 3.8 seconds (AMG 53)

Technical Capabilities

The EQS is a tech powerhouse featuring the MBUX Hyperscreen, a 56-inch curved glass panel. Technical highlights include:

• Drive Pilot: Level 3 autonomous driving (in specific regions).

• Rear-Axle Steering: Up to 10° for a turning circle similar to a compact car.

• Digital Light: 1.3 million micro-mirrors per headlamp for precise illumination and projections.

Quality & Warranty

The interior uses sustainable materials like Dinamica microfiber and “NEOTEX,” alongside high-end Nappa leather and open-pore wood.

• Storage: 610L rear boot (expanding to 1,770L); No front trunk (frunk).

• Warranty: 3-year vehicle warranty; 10-year/250,000 km battery warranty (70% capacity guarantee).

App Functionality

The Mercedes me app serves as the digital gateway, supporting:

• Remote Features: Climate pre-conditioning, door locking/unlocking, and window control.

• Navigation with Electric Intelligence: Routes planned around charging stops.

• Plug & Charge: Automated payment at IONITY and other compatible networks.

3 Pros and 3 Cons

Pros:

• World-class cabin insulation and ride comfort.

• Industry-leading electric range.

• Cutting-edge MBUX infotainment system.

Cons:

• Divisive “jellybean” exterior styling.

• Rear headroom is slightly cramped due to the sloping roofline.

• Lack of a front storage compartment (frunk).

Overall Summary

 While the BMW i7 offers more traditional luxury and the Lucid Air provides more raw performance, the EQS wins on aerodynamic efficiency and futuristic tech integration.

It is the ultimate choice for the “Smart Grandad” who values silent, long-distance touring without range anxiety.
