It's odd that you didn't have pricing for that car given it had already been released. I'll take a guess for it based on what I could see in the video and what I've seen common configurations are EQS580X4 $125,950 Twilight blue free beige nappa leather $1,370 yacht wood $1,515 pinnacle trim w/ AR HUD $7,150 (subtract $900 if just the regular HUD, I couldn't quite tell) -exclusive trim level package = massage and fast heating seats, 4 zone climate, gesture control, fragrance and door illumiated stars -pinnacle trim executive rear seat adds the bigger rear armrest with the tablet and wireless charging, nicer pillows, and additional rear airbags. winter package (heated back seats, steering wheel, and windshield washer system) $950 Acoustic comfort package $1,010 heated windshield $550 HEPA filter $450 Third row w/ staggered wheels on all season tires $1,250 Active Ambient Lighting $590 Illuminated star $500 All season cargo mat $90 Emergency use charging cable $250 Destination and handling $1,150 total = $141,965
Hope you get the Rivian R1S to play with at some point. It's $50K less than this car, has more power, more range, and really nice build quality and design (although not an out-and-out luxury car like the EQS 580 SUV). The question would be: Would you save $50K and go with the Rivian, or is the EQS 580 SUV worth the extra money and the hit on range and power?
I hate when video taping and you have glass over top that reflects the shy and tree line and building on the glass in front. Cover the glass overhead please. ;-(
Ok… interesting car and I’m sure it drives well. But I wouldn’t pay $130k for this. It looks more like an MPV than SUV. Lacks brawn and presence. I don’t think the styling is Love or Hate, that’s more the BMW (polarizing) approach lol. I’m sure it’ll sell well… but I think I would spend less for R1S in the EV space.
We're now seeing the birth of 2.8ton electric SUVs. They need huge battery packs to lug them around. Not sure that's where we should be heading in terms of efficiency. Time will tell. The 305 mile EPA range is a bummer, given how expensive this car is. On that score the sedan is the one to go for. Having said that this EQS SUV is a good overall package but just a tad too heavy.
That actually looks better than the EQS Sedan surprisingly, but a Hummer EV it is not on that course. Either way, impressive driving on a course clearly not meant for a Mercedes electric baby buggy.
Sad that German cars are losing their German-ness. Mercedes and BMW interiors don’t even have that distinctive leather smell they had in the 80s, 90s and 2000s. A Lexus RX like Mercedes? Sacrilege.
The EQ design language actually looks better on the SUV than the sedan. An EQS was also quite huge in person, I wonder how big this seems in person
We had it in the hangar for an upcoming Inside the MotoMan Studio shoot and parked it next to a 1930 Bentley. It dwarfed the Brit . . .
I still remember the TFL crew helping you out while in the hospital. Among others too of course. Great guys.
As do I . . . They are absolutely quality people . . . For which, I am grateful!

Touché!
Nice to see two great channels working together.
Roman and I know where the bodies are buried:)

Other reviewers are saying no AMG version but there will be a Maybach version.
Was the GLS450 a 4MATIC?
Country Estate Wagon role for base dirt gravel most uses.. Not your Land rover utility farm type.
The grass is taller than the ground clearance.
No logs were injured in filming of this video. That one is a barge, truly…
Second video, on the interrior details please? Third row…cargo versatility..
Not bad but that dash would scare me after 50,001 miles when it's a $20G replacement...
Cool Mini Van...

very nice video
I'd like to see it come with the 900v electrical architecture in the EQXX concept.
Why??
@@Fluterraefficiency, performance, charging speed
@@hi9580 increased voltage does not give you more efficiency or performance. Charging speed maybe, but who has access to that level of charger?

Stopping distance on snow?
15.6 feet longer than the car stopped in front of you.
6000 lbs 🤯 And I'm going to keep saying that there is NO reason the instrument hood and dashboard are so high, restricting forward visibility.
Do Not like the deviation from “Teutonic Heft”!! That’s a mistake.
EQS 450 is 6600 LB
NICE CAR
Great review, but average guy even making 100k plus salary would not even try to purchase these. They are sharp but dang not very realistic.

.01% will go off road
Don’t care about ev’s yet
Why did you even come to this video then lol
this car is a joke
Hey George, check your LinkedIn profile. I just sent you a note since my wife and I need to bounce an idea off of you. Thanks.
Nice to see two great channels working together
