Mercedes-Benz EQS: S-Class, the next generation...
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 авг 2024
- Okay, so it's not actually called the S-Class - that name is still in use by Merc's combustion-engined limousine - but the all-electric EQS is still a big Mercedes luxury flagship saloon, so it represents what the future of the S-Class probably looks like.
And just like it has done with the S-Class in the past, Mercedes has used the EQS to showcase some cutting edge new technology for the first time that'll probably filter down to the rest of the range in time. The most notable example - apart from the electric powertrain - is the optional 'Hyperscreen' infotainment display: if nothing else, you'll want to watch this video just to have a gander at that in action.
All the important numbers look good: the EQS 450+ featured packs 329bhp from a single electric motor mounted on the rear axle, which is fed by a colossal 107.8kWh battery, giving an impressive theoretical range of up to 453 miles.
Prices start at around £100,000, and in this CarGurus UK video review, Vicky Parrott decides whether the car can justify that rather lofty pricetag.

Pros
A true long-range electric car
Comfortable ride
Luxurious interior
Cons
Hugely expensive
A Porsche Taycan is more fun to drive
Looks the same as smaller EQE

I like your reviews. Well balanced, with lots of expertise and right to the point. The detailed description of the driving impressions is my favourite part in all of Vicky's reviews. That's the information I can't find elsewhere. Looking forward to more videos.
I totally agree, Vicky is an excellent automotive journalist and gives top quality reviews.
Same here 👍
Ohh my God, what amazing car
Great video love
Excellent and thanks….
Excellent review, right on point.
Thanks for watching
I enjoyed watching the Video Review. A very nice Luxury Car 😀😀
Very good and interesting review. Thanks
Our pleasure!
Very nice 👌
And Expensive
Glorious!!! I'm a former Tesla owner now. I traded
it for a 450+ ($102K base price) and it even came with a steering wheel!!!! 425 mile reading at 100% charge and it self-drives on
par or better in some ways than my Tesla did. And It's plenty fast enough too. This is a car for
grown-ups who want every possible creature comfort, class, quiet cabin,
great build quality, long battery range with brick and mortar
dealerships in every town... It's a dream to drive and turns on a
dime. And Mercedes even threw in 2 years of free charging at electrify america.... Nothing to complain about. Plus my Tesla-brand home wall charger works perfectly on the EQS with a $150 doller plug-in converter,....
Not to a bother you with moralising or so, but
something is really wrong, when Dacia can provide fully functional vehicle for a price of a screen in this car.
A great review Vicky. Although I'm about as likely to win the lottery jackpot twice on the bounce to make a purchase I can really appreciate the engineering and refinement that has gone into this car. If I was one of those lucky enough to afford this and replace it every few year I'd certainly consider it along with a larger property for somewhere to park it of course. A great review nonetheless.
Great car
0:52 not sure about that paint finish at this price level. The finish on my 20 yr old Focus is way smoother.
Interior not much better either..
Do you get Apple CarPlay maps on the DRIVER display yet ? Dual maps have.been in iPhone for about three years
❤❤❤
Its no looker Vicky. Just my opinion of course.
Every Queens Supercar!👸
Why did MB decide to put light grey trim and a brownish colour to the rear of the centre console, not the one you have in this video, following a test drive which was impressive we were informed one cannot get the trim such as the one in this video, the result was we walked away.
A polite request... Im asking All car reviewers and Auto Journalists to do the same. Please show and let us know detailed information about the tyre that comes with the new vehicle (Brand, type, summer/winter/all-season, speed, size and general auto industry tyre reviews grading of the tyre - meaning, good, average, bad))
Why? 2 Reasons...
1. The tyre is the most important safety feature of any car, as it is the ONLY thing that connects the vehicle with the road, regardless of how good or poor the car is itself.
2. By Auto Journalists and car RUclipsrs doing this, it will hopefully start vehicles manufacturers taking note. It may even hopefully push them towards going with best ranked tyre manufacturer, or at least offering different tyres for a customer to have a choice that will be put on the vehicle, with the best available tyre, as well as a tyre that is suitable for the time of year that it is sold.
For example, living in Northern Scotland, UK, every time i pick-up a new car, often in December, regardless of European car manufacturer, they 'only' put summer tyres on it for the UK market. Yet the safe and sensible customer focused safety thing to do, would be putting on All Season tyres as a minimum. So for last 10 years, every new car i have had (5), from picking the car up at a dealership, within 30 minutes I've had to drive straight to a tyre specialists (If road conditions allow and no snow or ice) and put on Winter Tyres and in recent years with tyre technology, All Season tyres. This is often an extra £1000+ cost on top of what I've just paid for the vehicle. It is crazy and frustrating car manufactures will not listen or change and car nothing to the safety of their customers, certainly in the UK market.
Thank-you..
Hyper screen costing £8K that’s the cost of a massive tv or a super home computer.
Beautiful car if you have the coin
Hi, brilliant as always. Great car and just imagine it in USA on those bigger roads and longer cross country trips. On a personal note, hope you are ok, you appeared to be a little stressed.
It's a Mercedes so of course its going to be expensive £100K ? Even where I live large cars are being ditched for smaller cars that are more frugal and due to our ongoing problems with chargers, hardly anyway are driving electric. Now that will open those that think differently but I am saying what I am hearing when I refill my fuel.
Just a suggestion for all future reviews on this channel: could you please consider illustrating the rear seat headroom, legroom and footroom more? Whilst the headroom and legroom is sufficiently demonstrated in some other reviews (not this one though) the footroom is rarely mentioned let alone shown, and it's something I'd appreciate to see because some cars don't position the front seats cleverly enough to maximise foot space (you can't comfortably tuck your feet under the seat in front for a more comfortable experience for example), so I think just a few seconds worth of footage that shows the foot space and leg space and a quick summary in every review would be very useful
I like the back the front don’t look good, but the interior is lush
Looks good from the back, but the rest of the exterior styling is really off.
Tesla Model S is not the right comparison for EQS ("S" class). Model S and EQE should be comparable when EQE will be available.
I would say none of them are comparable - a Tesla has great tech but is an inferior car, a tin box if you drive it. The EQE and EQS are competing against the top ICE cars and win over customers from there.
Manages to make a Tesla look good value!
LOL 🤣
yeah nice but bmw still streets ahead, doesn't deserve expensive price tag.
@Dr Weirdgloves I agree they don't. But knowing BMW they would nail it cheaper, more eye catching and more quality.
Oh dear, I’m sure there is a market for these cars, I’m just not sure where. Exactly who are these videos aimed at? 🤷
