Overview

If you're after the most technologically advanced luxury sedan, then the Mercedes-Benz EQS should be high on your consideration list. It's the company's attempt at an electric equivalent to an S-class, and it offers the latest and greatest gadgetry—including Benz's giant Hyperscreen touchscreen, driver profiles based on fingerprint scans, and a whopping six USB-C ports. It spoils its riders with voluminous interior space, gorgeous cabin materials, headrest pillows, massage functions, and neck-and-shoulder heating. However, if you want your vehicle to be a car first and a living room second you'll be disappointed. The EQS leaves much to be desired when it comes to the basics of everyday driving dynamics. It's neither pleasing nor engaging to drive. Its responses are syrupy, its handling is unremarkable, and its odd brake pedal feel creates a sense of disquietude. Mercedes-Benz's gasoline-powered S-class sedan is the cruise ship other luxury-car manufacturers measure their products against. Unfortunately, the EQS EV needs a lot more refinement to reach that position in the world of EV luxury sedans.
