As a huge Sci-fi nerd I just love how this thing sounds lol
Definitely artificial just coming through the speakers. Still cool though.
@@dolmio_sauce even outside?
@@ijaen Yep!
@@ijaen Outside Speakers are a requirement for safety regulations now. Sure it works fine in sparely populated quieter areas. But it's not going to work in densely populated areas with a high noise floor aka Cities. The natural environment where BEVs live those exterior sound generators are going to be useless and just add to the Noise Floor when there are many around. There should be like a system which listens to environment and switches off the safety mandated warning when in noise floor is too high. Just endlessly pumping more sound into a loud place is pointless.
enjoy your car reviews . your friendly informative personality is great .
Enjoyed your videos over the year, Thomas. Best wishes for 2022! I'm sure loads of exciting cars to test and analyse.
thank you so much, stay with us and best greetings!
Thank you for review. Always nice to see weird cars I will never own :)
I actually think the design actually looks quite cool and will also age rather well since it's such a simple shape
I love the sound. We are in serious TRON territory people. Merry Xmas Thomas and team !
Merry xmas!
WOW!
Regards from England Thomas, 👍🏴
Great review as always
Cheers m8!
@@autogefuehl Thomas, still loving my Q3 35tfsi mhev Black Edition 8 months along got in a big part to your review. Keep up the excellent work and have a great Christmas and prosperous New Year
All the best
All the best to u!
Such a beautiful car. 🤩
the sound at the beginning, oh my god
Haha capacitive BS for the seat buttons 🤣, Thomas is the best
😄
And the nonchalant way he says it, it sounds like “BS” is a special feature 😂
That laugh after the axelerationtest,, 😅❤️
😂
🤣🙈
Not often that cars make it into production so close to the original concept, and given some of your observations on the design compromises there is probably a reason for that… 🤔 Still without a doubt a completely stunning and utterly OTT car! 🙂
The AMG grill helps a bit. but it’s really big ,I saw it live on the IAA, damn
That build up sound before launch is awesome!!
I enjoyed your First Drive Review.. Different to being In Germany
👌
Very nice
I love it! Just as it is!
Please review the Audi a6 55 tfsi e avant PHEV
Does it have the automatic regen feature?
Autogefühl in the us of a?? 👏🏻
😁
Great review but would great if Mercedes had a Thomas blue colour here in the EQ 🚙 car
😎
Thanks!
🙌🙌
I guess the second generation EVs from the German brands will be a lot better. Lack of interior space for a huge EV is just not good enough.
did you notice the trunk size !! it almost took half of car size 😂 , what they were thinking !
How do you define a good door closing sound? I thought it was fine.
Low frequency and satisfying
Hey Thomas from Autogefuhl, what do the shift paddles do?
recuperation change!
Indeed Futuristic CAR😀 with Amazing Power launch Sound👏.
The Best or Nothing 💪
Greetings from California ☀️🌴
😎
Damn your weather this time! 😄
@@autogefuehl The water is much needed. 🍻
Is Mercedes-Benz giving a Christmas presents like a EQS Matt Gray ? Its my favorite EV i need One of those because i still have a turbo diesel car
You're not forced to use all the displays for the map... 🙈
It will be an AMG 63 version of the EQS ? As always Thomas, the first ones to test new vehicles :)
Thanks 🙏 good question, we ll keep u updated!
@@autogefuehl Dankeschön, you are the best ;)
😎👌
When is MB announcing the new 4 cylinder c-class AMG?
Question :
AMG GT 63 or AMG EQS 53 ?
(1) in graphite please ! Still time to get it under the Christmas tree 🙂
0:13 Sol 6, Mr Sulu! 😁
I think that these screens in accident at 40km / h break, I often spend
Instant reaction to the AMG is that the launch sounds like it's coming from a toy. Porsche's the one to beat in regards to electric sounds.
Some of the vehicle sound effects from the Halo 2 Anniversary cutscenes are very similar to these.
Plaid motor whir sounds supreme.
The best EV sound is no sound (or sound of the motor itself). How in the hell did they conceive the plan to start including fake noisesm
Tesla Model S plaid review: ruclips.net/video/EffB45ISO9M/видео.html
5:22 🤣 Great Thomas to point out the mediocre design choices.
😁
2:33 - wrong: it’s actually 3,8sec from 0-100, 3,4sec only with the AMG dynamic plus package😅
otherwise as always probably the best review out there from Thomas!
Cheers m8!
Wow Thomas! I am shocked on how the German auto makers reduced the interior room over their new vehicles.. I am a tall European guy at 6ft 6 and im struggling to fit in most new BMWs. It wasnt an issue a few years back. On the other hand, I am amazed on how Korean automakers make their cars bigger inside and i recently got fit very comfotably in the Huyndai i20 of my girlfriend!!! And the Asian car industry still support physical buttons while European car industry believe we dont need them !!!! As for animal skin free , bingo, i will give them that!!! But im not sure if this is the right direction in the future. I mean being top at animal skin free cars and nowhere else
Interesting aspect with the changing interior space indeed
Animals only belong in cars as passengers
Batteries…not so easy to package.
I love the capacitive BS comment!! Good one.
😄
Its like enterprise launch warp speed
The artificial noise and dashboard lights is a bit "kitschig"
Is the range mentioned by you wrong???
See driving part and timecode index
either make it play M156 6.2 V8 noises or leave it on silent, I dont want those flying saucer sound efects
영감들이 산길 와인딩에서는 다른 전기차랑 싸우면 죽을수도 있는 차.
EQS는 일반 후륜1모터의 승차감,부드러운 가속감이 더 훌륭함. !
I like this design the front looks amazing like aerodinamic and threatening like with the mat gray with black accents i think the car have good features but the price is Also forbidden it's expensive as hell
206 inches is pretty long, just two inches short of the us market w126 long wheelbase sel, at 208.3
Yep it is
Long? Hardly. My dad’s 1973 Chrysler was 230 inches long.
I'm not a fan of these glass roofs. They reflect in the front display screens when filming.
It was not long ago that the three German automakers discussed the basics of automobiles and treated them as sewage. With the advent of the era of electric vehicles so fast, the three German companies have fat bodies with large displays and pretty LED lights, shouting, "This is the essence of real cars!"
I admit that I'm still ahead in making it, but it's not much of a difference. I'm going to cut through the Heritage, but I don't think there's a hidden card... The only way to protect trade is to shout ESG.
So the question now is whether this is a "real" AMG since it doesn't have a hand-built ICE engine. I've heard hardcore enthusiasts say that the AMG cars without the hand-built engine, of which I am a proud owner, are not "real" AMGs. If this is the future of Mercedes and AMG, what does that make this car? Real AMG or not?
The performance bump, and exterior modifications.
"Handbuilt" is a marketing gimick anyway, should really be called "hand assemblied", which all engines are to an extent, so does it really matter that the AMG engines is assembled by 1 technician rather than several? The end product is identical.
The power cables are plugged in by hand...
@@Jeppelelle In the case of "traditional" AMG engines, I think at last _part_ of what you're paying for is the skill of a technician who is doing all the assembly that would usually be split amongst several workers/robots (who would be focusing on a specific part of the assembly) for mass market engine designs. Yes, Mercedes does mark the price up *through the roof* (and I guarantee you the technician only sees a fraction of that increase in their paycheck), but there is genuinely a higher level of expertise there.
If only modern Mercedes dashboards weren't so squeaky! 🤣
NOT
EQS 53...makes me think there will also be a higher power 63 (or something like that) at some point. Too bad theres no two-tone paint.
There is no two-tone paint for the AMG? The EQS in general does offer that
1:33 Is that a considerably large panel gap?
I wait for the fly cars ,,,
If You are in US, please reach to Rivian to do Your great test of R1T. R1S would be perfect but even You could not get one at this point, or...:) Make Lucid as well as direct competitor to EQS
I ll try to when i m back next time!
@@autogefuehl And tell Rivian to start fast with european factory. I want my R1S before 2025;

Really wish it had bmw Alpina wheels
When will car manufacturers actually stop integrating piano black plastic into front consoles?!
Não adianta nada barulhinho e frufru , quando ver um S Plaid no retrovisor é bom ir p direita .

Hi
Mmm no. AMG Sports comfort pillows. This is such a confused model for the EQS.
Are you going to test a Plaid while you’re in the US of A?
I hope I can do so soon
Tesla Model S plaid review: ruclips.net/video/EffB45ISO9M/видео.html
Damn ...sound badass. Finally some futuristic shit. Maybe amg eqs need Tobe more aggressive sporty
0:14 'Engage'!! Trekkies will understand
😁
Did you ever test a chinese car?
Are u subscribed? Wey test coming up
Ergonomists everywhere fainted
Well, interesting to see that a dedicated EV platform has absolutely no advantage over a shared platform. The only negative on the i4 is the tunnel in the back. Otherwise, no other compromises.
The Tunnel is filled with Batteries...and with better seating Position for the lower foot area due to this "hole"
#CapacitiveBsButtons
#capacitiveBSbuttons :D
"Circus Mode" 😅
😁
Sci-Fi sounds and flashing interior lights to give you the auditory and visual feedback you lose going from ICE to EV? No thanks----I'll take the S63e when it comes out.
I guess Mercedes' market analysis decided that the customer base for that sort of car (i.e. millionaires+) don't care about the environment that much that they'd open an animal-free interior.
Something that also bugs me about most car manufacturers is, that "animal-free" tends to mean "polyester fibre", and I hate that stuff. I'd gladly go animal-free if I'd get a choice of cotton or flax or whatever fabric seats. Can't be /that/ hard to produce now, can it?
More on this very soon on our channel!
AURUS SENAT 🇷🇺❤👍🚗
nah i will wait for a germany version..i feel usa boring
That's crazy that they don't let you open the front hood. Just seems wrong, regardless what's there.
you can actually open it, but there’s nothing you can do underneath
@@dr-ok3sn There's also no support strut, so you will have to stick something in there to keep it up. And yes, inside is the 400V-supplied powertrain, which not everyone should mess with.
This will be a great buy 3 years from now after it looses 60 percent of its value. I am pretty sure the smart people will wait to buy one used at a huge discount while letting the dumb money get eaten alive by huge depreciation
Great review as always, but these EVs are not that exciting, I don’t feel connected to the machine, it’s not rewarding to drive.
I think you should have a word with Mercedes to get them to only use animal's free fabric if they want to sell their cars in China, as they use animal free fabrics.
yep I have been addressing that, and soon more news to this topic @ Mercedes here on our channel!
Get job Thomas M. & Thomas B.! An impressive car except for two significant flaws: capacitive curse and animal skins on the seats. Why not a high-grade fabric instead or does MB think Americans will only buy a car with animal hide? Makes no sense in a sustainable or ethical way. 🤔
Thanks Robin!
The sound would get very annoying long term. Along with everything else, this car is a good example of you can have too much of a good thing. Lots of overkill...
I'd like to see that car in a eurNcap crash test...
No fake exhausts anymore :(
Why have we not seen any EQE reviews yet? Love the dark red colour.
Don´t like the led strip in the front. Illegal, purely insanely dangerous(not a joke)! And in the north with our low low sun you are not visible(yes, I´m seriuos). And broken(drl/indicator) lights do not make it better. Merc can do better.
More to the EQE hopefully soon here! So far: ruclips.net/video/0Mnlh0mz3z4/видео.html
Did I mention that it's ugliness is only matched by AU Falcon?
We like leather seats brother…. Specially if we are paying over $120k for a car
Thank you very much for your interest in this topic. As a start, please tune in to what the animal leather industry tried to do here with our channel: ruclips.net/video/nP_CvLlaFlI/видео.html
In general, depending on the animal skin grade, the animals are specifically raised for this matter. However even if meat would be the reason no.1 in other cases, the hide remains one of the most profitable body parts. That means: If manufacturers put animal leather in a car and you accept it as a customer, you give your money to an industry that earns money by oppressing humans, animals and destroys the environment, you make them more profitable. Also, if you turn the argument around "meat is the waste of the leather industry" you realize how biased the argument is. After all, would you care for which body part you would murdered? Or imagine someone robs you on the street and beats you to death - would it matter to you if it was for your Smartphone or for your purse?
The animal agriculture industry occupies 2/3 of all farm land on this planet which cannot be used for direct human nutrition then. That is extremely inefficient. The no.1 cause for deforestation is the animal industry. It is also one of the biggest contributor to climate change. The amount of land, resources, energy and water being used is beyond imagination. If you are interested in how the animals are being treated and transported in the global leather industry, watch this footage: ruclips.net/video/tkjCAmq1_8E/видео.html
Note that the footage is genuine and was recorded by a highly decorated investigative journalist in Germany I know myself personally.
For the alternative, you can either use artificial fabrics which can be made from recyclables (we have already shown a lot of vehicles that use great fabric seats from PET-bottles etc.) or more and more also from plant-based materials (like Pinatex). And even if you would create a seat completely with petroleum without a recycling share, the amount of oil being used for that is nothing in comparing just to once fueling up your car.
In practical reasons, fabric or microfibre seats are just more useful. You do not sweat in summer and it is not cold in winter. And there are also new leatherette materials available which are superior in every aspect: ruclips.net/video/u94YXJ72UTA/видео.html
Using animal skin on seats is a major issue of animal rights, human rights - and after all just of common sense what is better both for the environment and just more practical and more luxurious for the customer. We cannot change what we have bought in the past (that also counts for ourselves of course!), but with more information and compassion we can change how we decide in the future.
Which shops might take a commission to turn this into a wagon? The renderings are amazing.
Due to Mercedes' horrible packaging job, there is no frunk at all. The Model S was gets smaller every incarnation, but Lucid Air has 670 hp on teh front axle and a HUGE frunk nevertheless. And that's a 25 cm shorter car than EQS. EQS is a liftback, nice, but let's have some WAGONS in the EV world, please!
Check out our Lucid Air review: ruclips.net/video/ZWoWdyfGFzg/видео.html
Always imagined the electric version of the S class would look more…interesting. This design kind of reminds me of the A class. I get that they went for the lowest drag coeficient but in doing so, they completely ignored the S class heritage…on a more funny note, always love Thomas’s capacitive BS remarks 😄 #capacitivebs ✌️
What, it takes 5 seconds to actually start the car after you hit the acceleration pedal??? 😂
U can start earlier, just the sound building;)
I don't like at all the exterior look, specially the side look, idk maybe it's the wheels tht make it look bad, or the hood that looks weak. 2:20
Nice „lane assist“ for 200k…
Nachhaltigkeit: Viele Alternativprodukte die du lobst sind nicht biologisch / biologisch abbaubar oder nachhaltig. Sprich Recyclingzyklen sind begrenzt oder es ist einfach eine Version von Plastik. Leder hingegen ist absolut biologisch abbaubar. Warum das immer so negativ beurteilt wird ist einfach nicht richtig, denn es gibt genug Methoden Leder nachhaltig herzustellen. Ausserdem sind per se noch immer genug Rinder im Umlauf um wie bei den Indianern alles zu nutzen ;-). Nachhaltige Lederherstellung
Insbesondere die Schäden durch die chemische Gerbung können mithilfe pflanzlicher Alternativen ganz einfach vermieden werden. Pflanzlich, oder „vegetabil“, gegerbtes Leder ist zwar etwas kostspieliger, jedoch deutlich schonender für die Umwelt sowie gesünder für Arbeiter*innen und Endverbraucher*innen. Ein Schritt in Richtung Nachhaltigkeit stellt zudem die Beschränkung auf Abfallprodukte der Fleischindustrie dar. Darauf wird beispielsweise bei Produkten geachtet, welche durch den Naturleder Standard des internationalen Verbands der Naturtextilwirtschaft (IVN) zertifiziert sind. Dieses Siegel versichert zudem den Verzicht auf die besonders schädliche Chromgerbung und zertifiziert vorwiegend pflanzlich gegerbte Produkte.

@@autogefuehl Thank you for your answer. Unfortunately I am not talking about the unhuman food industry but only technically. Extrem positions either in favor nor against a secondary topic like animal right and so on are not my goal. A society and their collateral damage and ecological footprint are always wide spread and nothing is perfect, but in fact ecological and sustainable leather is better than other leader and plastic based recycled microfibers are not the perfect solution. I only would like you to be open minded also for other inprovements including all solution also leather even if so there will not be the 100% perfect solution. The „discriminating“ attempts against your plattform are of course to be negated and I am on your side. Best regards
Leather production is extremely harmful and uses more resources than anything else. I have looked into that topic for a very long time, I have even calculated the CO2 figures. However, I found it disturbing to argue with CO2 figures when at the same time, we are talking destroyed lives for humans and animals. That's why I am focussing on the ethical aspect.
At last , reviewer with passenger at his side..so I can see the far screen in action , n so far the only review that show all different color option real..
BTW, what with this animal free something,, demand for meat for steak, etc is so high, obviously there is stock of cow leather..

Star Trek sound effects? 👎🏼👎🏼
However, as long as you have the choice to hear it or not, that's cool.
My infotainment screen is also called a windshield 😼
Telsa who? Tesla what?
Would look soo much better if it didn't have that stupid fake grill. If they would have made it solid, it would complete the look.
Korean cars with 75 kWh: also 200 kW charging.
Mercedes may want to get closer to 3C charging as soon as possible. Or, when they can build these faster than people will buy them, I guess. Porsche also sand bagged the Taycan. It could have been lighter and a full Panamera, but they held back. Can't make enough of them anyway.
These legacy manufacturers are still in first gen electric, they're testing still.
Soon more the future of electric vehicles at mercedes on our channel!
As a vegan, I appreciate that you call it animal skin. People should be more aware of what was sacrificed for their seats.
Highly appreciate it, thank you so much for caring!
The leather used in car seats is a byproduct of the meat industry. Whereas synthetic materials are damaging to the environment and add to global waste instead of subtracting from it.
Not a byproduct.

For the alternative, you can either use artificial fabrics which can be made from recyclables (we have already shown a lot of vehicles that use great fabric seats from PET-bottles etc.) or more and more also from plant-based materials (like Pinatex). And even if you would create a seat completely with petroleum without a recycling share, the amount of oil being used for that is nothing in comparing just to once fueling up your car.
In practical reasons, fabric or microfibre seats are just more useful. You do not sweat in summer and it is not cold in winter. And if you want the slick look or something to wipe clean easier, that is possible with animal free leatherette.
And there are also new leatherette materials available which are superior in every aspect: ruclips.net/video/u94YXJ72UTA/видео.html
More and more natural materials are rising: ruclips.net/video/nRSsXEnwHDo/видео.html
Using animal skin on seats is a major issue of animal rights, human rights - and after all it is just common sense what is better both for the environment and just more practical and more luxurious for the customer. We cannot change what we have bought in the past (that also counts for ourselves of course!), but with more information and compassion we can change how we decide in the future.
This is another Beauty from MB but for the first time ever I have to confess that ALL EV,s for me, are nothing but electric forklifts in some warehouse making electrical winding noise. MB as always ahead of the curve. And I loved that you could go soundless by choice.
I am so ashamed to admit the shape may be growing on me
Like your reviews but wish you would keep your animal vs petrochemical options to yourself.
Thank you very much for your interest in this topic. As a start, please tune in to what the animal leather industry tried to do here with our channel: ruclips.net/video/nP_CvLlaFlI/видео.html
In general, depending on the animal skin grade, the animals are specifically raised for this matter. However even if meat would be the reason no.1 in other cases, the hide remains one of the most profitable body parts. That means: If manufacturers put animal leather in a car and you accept it as a customer, you give your money to an industry that earns money by oppressing humans, animals and destroys the environment, you make them more profitable. Also, if you turn the argument around "meat is the waste of the leather industry" you realize how biased the argument is. After all, would you care for which body part you would murdered? Or imagine someone robs you on the street and beats you to death - would it matter to you if it was for your Smartphone or for your purse?
The animal agriculture industry occupies 2/3 of all farm land on this planet which cannot be used for direct human nutrition then. That is extremely inefficient. The no.1 cause for deforestation is the animal industry. It is also one of the biggest contributor to climate change. The amount of land, resources, energy and water being used is beyond imagination.

Thank you for your prompt reply. I very much respect your beliefs from your videos and don't disagree with most of your arguments. I especially agree with your statement that we are influenced by others, just as you and I have been. I will always love my leather coats, shoes, and ribeye steaks. Future generations will be weened off of these things, but the wealthy will be the only ones who can still enjoy these luxuries. You should not deny that you also have been influenced. If you really believed in sustainability you would not do videos on cars. Even you grin at the rumble of a V8 or the acceleration of a 911 turbo. Reminds me of the old Bob Dylan lyric "everybody has to serve somebody". @@autogefuehl
You can enjoy the same luxury without harming animals being harm. That's what I fight for and it is already achieved. Who would I reach with my message for animals if I would do a "Thomas the vegan" channel? No I love cars and I try to make cars more sustainable. Louis Hamilton is a vegan F1 driver. You can be vegan and still enjoy life m8.
