- Kyle is in Tuscaloosa, AL at the Mercedes factory that will build EQS SUV and other electric models! The factory already produces GLS and GLE and is ramping up to handle EVs. In this video Kyle is joined with Holger Enzmann, who’s responsibility it is to work on the EVA2 platform which EQS SUV will be based. Thank you Magna for sponsoring this video! More Magna content to come in the future.

Kyle knew what he was experiencing and asked the right questions. 5/5
Kyle is an auto manufacturer's dream journalist... and also their worst nightmare.
16:44 Kyle just being straight forward about the breaking in the EQS to the engineer is why I respect this channel! Such an awkward moment 😂
Not sure he appreciated your transparency :)
The Mercedes driver was an awkward communicator, leaving Kyle to answer his own questions
@@eurouc in his defense, he doesn’t seem like a PR guy and is instead an engineer of some sort who also needs to remember talking points that may be off limits currently.
I think there silence meant that they agreed but of course they won’t get caught saying anything negative lol
@@vroooom he’s the leading engineer of the EQS SUV, he’s responsible for the development of the car.
Either he was quiet because he took it as constructive criticism he didn’t want to comment. Or he wasn’t the leading engineer for the EQS sedan and therefore doesn’t know whats the reason behind the weird feeling EQS sedan brakes and can’t comment on that.
That awkward silence when the break topic came up
Talk about a sore point, they must know it sucks but are too far down the track to fix it.
The developer got the feedback, if many other reviewers and the market see it the same, they will improve it for sure.
I don't have any issues with the braking. I love all the people harping on it without ever driving it.
I think dude was just trying to understand what the question was. Speaking in other languages is challenging, especially when complex questions are being asked. Obviously the driver knows a lot about the vehicle but we must remember they are human.
@@scenicdepictionsofchicagolife Im sure he understood the question just fine I wouldnt call it a complex question it seemed more so him avoiding making a negative remark or simply disagreeing with the break statement which is understandable who knows how the person he has to answer to would have reacted to a possibly negative statement about the vehicle.
You can tell they didn't expect Kyle to ACTUALLY know what he's talking about. You can tell the MB guy kept trying to distract Kyle with new features....LOL
Starting with video playing tells you everything about most journalists
Kyle kicks butt! He knows his stuff and does his homework. That’s why they respect him. Good work!
The car looks really small from the outside! The proportions fit the car far better than the EQS sedan, overall i like it.
The proportions seem to be more GLE than GLS
GLA you mean
My thoughts as well. I felt the dimensions were smaller
Excellent video, Kyle. Unlike others, I like your conversational style with the MB driver/engineer. Fast flowing with digressions into interesting areas I know you wanted answers to. Lots of useful data in a short time. The only area you faced resistance in was with the unusual MB EV braking, and that was fine. He heard you loud and clear, and the details of your concerns are on your earlier videos. I do feel that the TECHNICAL folks at many manufacturers do pay attention to feedback from respected reviewers like you and Thomas and Bjorn (MB) and Joe (BMW). You clearly know the EV world. Keep it up please!
Very pleased Magna is building the Fisker Ocean! Have a reservation and can’t wait for you to get your hands on one.
Aaaahahah! Awesome! You roasted him well on all the points. Iron fist in a velvet glove. Love to see the bluntness.
Well that quality of review earns a new sub from me. Great work. I’m in.
Amazing video. Thanks Kyle.
Mercedes is amazing with their electric vehicle lineup. I'm really stoked about the EQXX though. It's a vision that looks really good, can't wait for it to maybe be in production.
Great work Kyle. Was the range mentioned during your time with them.
Yes...one has to be, "truly rich" to take that vehicle offroading. Great review.
Can’t wait to see it in person 😍👍🏾
They already sell SUVs in Europe: EQA, EQB and EQC. All based on the GL platform (Gas suvs).
True but this their first “real” EV SUV as it’s not a based on a gas car
Kyle, let the man talk. You interrupt him when he is explaining things we haven't heard.
Congratulations on the Magna sponsorship.
@Bill Kerr I second that, it's f'n painful, other comments here are praising Kyle for the awkward moments, but the man's driving, proudly describing the tech & there's a boofhead in his ear talking over the top of him, I felt he was very accomodating. 👍
Would be Great to learn more about the motors. Why 6 phase? Is this still 6 pole like Tesla and Toyota?
I live in cullman, Al and I had seen a car that was in test manufacture wrapping and now I’m realizing it might have been this, from the distance it looked like an IX but this makes more sense
What size wheels and tires on this prototype, please? Any assessment on seat comfort and how they compared to the EQS seats? I am spoiled by the seats on my MB S550 and need great seats to overcome my lower back issues. Thanks!
Nice opportunity! Its looks like the 3rd row is for show or kiddies, like in the GLE. Lets see how it goes with my EQS 580, maybe a replacement for our GLS 580 when our last kiddie leaves the nest in a couple of years. The lack of pogo mode is a real downer :) Wonder if it will get 300 miles range?
Great stuff🙏👊
I'm impressed. They actually took it off road, although the styling is generic large SUV.
Does it hide a heatpump under the big bonnet you cannot open? ;)
What is the size (external and internal) comparing EQS SUV to the Rivian??
That mbux dash is stunning. 👍🏻tesla needs something like that imo on their high end s&x.
I really liked hearing it'll be built here in the U.S. along with the batteries to.
Good to have some more options in the ev cuv/suv space. Should be interesting later this year to see this against the updated e tron, Cadillac lyriq, bmw ix, model x etc.
Ugh, it's very kitsch. Bling bling, the opposite of classy. I don't know how MB greenlit this new style.
Love it, but wish it were matte instead of gloss when the sun hits that is going to be annoying
Thanks for the Video Kyle. Somewhat a strange car to me still. But again it will find its customers. Greetings from Germany.
I really like this SUV!
“As you mention Herr Conner, zee zilent drive in zee nature” 🤣
Kyle, how did the front & rear seats compare to the EQS? Is it better than the GLS?
No. GLS has more leg and head room both in the second and third row. Amenities in the second row pretty much like a GLS, as well as in the third row.
Were you able to try the third row? I wonder how spacious it is compared to the GLS SUV.
How is the noise level when driving compared to the sedaN?
I ordered an GLE hybrid. How does it compare with the EQS in terms of boot and passenger space ?
Kyle great video!
This actually seems pretty fantastic.
The strange thing about the brake by wire is that back in 2003 (19 years ago) Mercedes introduced SBC (Sensotronic Brake Control) which was a brake by wire system on the W211 E Class at the time. It would've made the brake feel here much more linear and you wouldn't feel the change from regen braking to normal. They've got tonnes of experience with brake by wire so not sure why they're not using it. They've had the tech since the late 90s when they started developing it for the W211 E Class which was the best and most beautiful E Class in my opinion.
What is the car drifting at 5:25? Looks like a Model 3 with Model S door handles. I'm so confused hah since Magna doesn't make anything for Tesla as far as I know.
This video should answer your question ruclips.net/video/EEvxlfNqjRE/видео.html
Nice one
That was rad
So this will be built in US? Wow! So let’s count down how long it’ll be until Kyle’s Dad trades in the Ioniq for this!!🤣
His dad just saw an EV6 today and was impressed...
Looks very close to EQC that never made it here ..let's hope its much more successful than its smaller brother !
What is it with the red drink all the time...
Great questions
I could of died with you told that man them brakes are weak 😂
No, the feeling is weak, brakes are strong
Wow he really wasn't crazy about your dissatisfaction of the braking system! LOL
It always makes a good impression to hold a drink in your hand while introducing a new car.
Very professional approach ...
What’s wrong with Starbucks? You must not know we are trying to get them to sponsor us!!
@@OutofSpecReviews Get em Kyle!
Kyle: what did you learn about commencement of series production and when they will make it to North American dealers?
Don’t miss visiting the museum, fun things.
Kyle, the promo picture for most of your videos show you with your arms out wide. Are you imitating the "Christ the Redeemer" statue in Rio? Kyle the Ev Redeemer!
Hi Kyle, will you please cover the EQB, it’s coming to the US. TIA
Will it offroad?
How much will this be
6 Phase Motor..Now that's futuristic.
Outside it looks like a big eqa
Guh. I forgot how much I hate the "hyperscreen" marketing nonsense. If it were one continuous screen or at least felt like one continuous screen, I'd be on board. But it straight up just looks like 3 screens to me.
I thought the EQS SUV was to be an electrified GLS. This thing looks way too small for that.
I are Maybe they will name the GLS the EGLS. U mean they have an electric GLC out in Europe that looks bigger or the same size as this
It is basically the same length
looks more like an updated EQC. Exterior is very similar to EQC but with EQS interior
I don’t know if I like that third row. Even for kids it looks like it would be pretty cramped
So ride and interior compared to R1T? R1S more of a competitor but still a unicorn…
Wow. Toto Wolff does all sorts of stuff at Mercedes.
Wow.
They need to add foilage to the over refflective screen I sugests sebrano wood veneer A retro look to the Classic cars of the 50s!
First thing I noticed when he opened the door is all the fingerprints all over that glass dash. If they have to have that kind of thing can't they figure out a better kind of glass so it doesn't look hideous all the time.
Please compare the BMW IX 50 and this Mercedes
Amazing I really enjoyed this video on my lunch break I have a MB and August I have to turn my car in I try to inquire about the eqe but the sales person knew nothing about the video at cherry hill Mercedes 😕 this will be the year for me I have to get into a EV I might have to go to Tesla 🤷🏾♂️
Finally, an EV with a pano sunroof that can be open and not fixed!
Volvo XC40 Recharge has one!
Good review but why MB only have the charging socket on the right side. Most people with a phev installed home chargers on the left hand side. Only Audi and Porsche understand this
❤👍
New title: "I Ride In The Electric Mercedes EQS SUV For The First Time! ... with Arnold Swartzenagger's brother." :)
Wow, you handled this guy really well Kyle. Wasn't the friendliest guy in town and he didn't take to well to your knowledge level heh heh. Actually diminishes the appeal of the car a bit TBH. Thumbs up on the video 👍
Expected the interior to be shrink-wrapped like the exterior.
It's been 4 1/2 months since Kyle posted this video and still no driving reviews on the EQS SUV. And how about releasing pricing and ship a bunch of demos to the dealerships for the rest of of us to see and drive.
How can I buy one in Florida ?
What price ?
It would be nice to see more affordable EV's discussed on this channel. Tesla and Mercedes are great and all, but not many of us can afford $60,000 + cars. Ev's will only become mainstream once an automaker builds something in the sub $20,000 range that will fit a family of 5.
Just wait for the model 2
@@superweeb6969 Elon has said it would be stupid to develop the Model 2 now. Don't know when they'll ever do it. GM has a $30k BEV coming soon.
Average new car sold in US is now $47k, going to be hard to find anything at 20k these days
there are almost no I.C.E. cars left under $20k
@@B_22_5 Brand new AWD SUV Fords are around 25K. Like I said, ICE cars will rule the land until EV's come down in price.
This channel is just becoming like every other media outlet that just goes from media event to media event. I don’t find them unbiased any longer because they have to make money and they won’t get all of these cool invitations if they don’t play the game.
No frunk would be a huge shame
Looks more professional without a fast food drink in the hand ;-)
Hey Ho! Kyle; &Others; M/B did a 'cute trick'. There is a lever for the hood. They hid it behind a small panel under the driver side dash. One screw, and off comes the panel, and Behold, a latch for the hood. Now you can recharge a flat 12volt battery, get the leaves, snow or the neighbors cat out from under the hood, all without a drive to the dealer, a 06 hour wait, and the loss of a years pay for the 'service' of opening the hood. But then again, whoever has the money for this, also has a slave to do the work and another '05-08' cars to use.
For some reason the volume is much weaker during the in-car portion of the video. The beginning of the video and the sponsor message sounded great though.
You can't control the volume on the fly? 🙄
you can open easy i saw in a video !!!
The EQS is not as luxurious as the S class. But the SUV is the same. Amazing that it is shorter in length to the EQS
EQS SUV ?? What about the EQA, EQB and the already existing EQS ? Seems weird to have an EQS sedan and suv, lol.
I suppose you know the naming convention for Mercedes EV right? EQA = sedan EQA SUV = well... you guessed it. So you get all those models in sedans and suv variants withe the addition of that little "SUV" name next to it
Dash doesn't look right in this. I think they should have went with a basic one
EQGLE
🔝🔝🔝
An offroad course for a Mercedes is kind of hilarious. No one will be doing that. I do like what I see so far.
I mean there is the Electric G-wagon coming as well, they will need that for sure 😄
And not tires were popped unlike at the Rivian offroad press drive. o:-)
Ok, the EQS SUV has better proportions than the EQS sedan, it will also probably sell better than the sedan, the sedan just looks awkward, also did I hear you right, the 3rd row has more headroom than the GLE 3rd row, ok, this is the EQS SUV, so, one would assume it would be, being compared to the GLS and not the GLE 3rd row, I will wait for more info on April 19th, because from what I see, it looks a size down vs the GLS and with EQE SUV coming as well, is it safe to assume that will also be a size down from the GLE, it's clearly bigger than the GLE, I'm guessing it has the same wheelbase as the EQS sedan at 126.4 inches, that being said, the Cadillac Lyriq is starting to look better and better, this and the BMW iX, while not bad, seriously, I would say, you have to benchmark and beat the Tesla Model X and from what I've seen and heard, none of these can or will, also note the ICE GLS only comes as a 4Matic, the GLE does, however, offer a RWD model, it will be interesting to see EQS SUV offers both RWD and 4Matic or just 4Matic
Hello 👋
The perfect reason to never get a black interior: like filming in a cave 😖
Yes, Kyle had no choice. Most savvy car reviewers get demos with light interiors, but MB missed the boat on this one. I personally had one car years ago with a black interior, and will never do that again. Cave is right!
They could have opened the sunshade.
The driver really had no answer to the regen/braking issue! Oh, well…that won’t be redesigned soon.
Would you mind explaining what the issue is? I think I missed or misunderstood it.
Isn’t this supposed to be an electric GLS? This looks way too small to be a GLS.
Kyle, what I don't like about your videos is, you never, or rarely interact with a written response to your commenters here... tantamount to a rock star who doesn't take pictures or sign autographs for fans...
Feels like a culture clash. The mercedes rep is not really attentive of what Kyle's saying. Kyle's actually praising Mercedes but somehow goes completely unnoticed - strange. I still want the car though. Been looking for a 7 seat ev!
This hyper screen nonsense has to stop. If you bought an 85" tv from best buy and it was 3 screens you wouldn't accept that 🤣
I'm pretty sure almost nobody will take their $100K+ Mercedes offroad. Not when a broken headlight will set you back $3-4K...
This Mercedes is the car for most that can afford it….
He wants to drop him off Kyle in the woods and leave him. lol
Kyle you are Amazing maybe it needs a little half shaft. Your tea teaching these Germans
This will kill Rivian, Jaguar, LAndrover…. Very impressive. This will sell, while EQS sedan’s homely looks will hold it back.
This will kill Model X as well ..
Rivian is a different market
