Mercedes is introducing a whole new line of EVs under the line “EQ” with a letter following those as designation of the ICE version of the same class. The first EQ vehicle in the US is the EQS, the “EV S-Class.” However, unlike some upcoming EQ models, the EQS is an entirely different vehicle, sharing no real similarity with the (surprisingly) more expensive S-Class. The EQS, therefore, is extremely unique. Shaped unlike anything else in the Mercedes lineup, the EQS has the lowest drag coefficient of any production vehicle, an astonishing 0.20. That beats the Tesla Model S and Lucid Air. Clearly shaped to cheat the air, the EQS has a smooth, almost egg-like shape that looks much more like a concept car than actual production vehicle.

Mercedes, being the quintessential luxury marque, definitely put all they could into the EQS, and nowhere does that shine more than on the interior. Debuting on the EQS is the Hyperscreen, a huge, 56-inch wide infotainment system. The optional setup is made from one continuous glass panel, combining two 12.3 inch displays for both the driver and passenger, as well as a massive 17.7 inch central touchscreen. This system, combined with the traditional trappings of a high end Mercedes, lead to a unique vision at the future of luxury vehicles. Mercedes makes many popular options standard on the EQS, like a Burmester 3D Surround Sound system, Augmented Video for Navigation, and 10-degree rear axle steering.

With a 350-mile range and all of the luxuries, the EQS stands out as the ultimate luxury EV sedan!
