As far as the current lineup of electric vehicles is concerned, Mercedes-Benz inclusions including the EQA, EQC crossovers and the EQV Van, all have received a half-hearted response so far. However, we observed in the case of Tesla Model S and Porsche Taycan that electric sedans can be desirable options; the Mercedes-Benz EQS. Buying your favorite Mercedes can be an expensive undertaking and that is why a need is always felt to buy one at an affordable price. That is where the concept of pre-owned cars in the UAE comes into play and platforms like Carswitch makes it pretty simple for anyone to buy their favorite cars at affordable prices and without any hassle.
The best thing about the enticing sedan is that its curvaceous bodywork is especially designed to slip effortlessly through the air for utmost efficiency; its palatial cabin is ideally fitted with lavish appointments and innovative features that can truly entice the diehards.
Comfort meets spaciousness
When it comes to interior, the EQS is ideally lined with gorgeous, high-quality stuff and outfitted with innumerable luxury amenities. The exceptional list of desirable features includes extensive ambient interior lighting, an Executive Rear Seat package, and headrest pillows for front as well as rear passengers. The best feature is the adjustable back seats having massage functions, neck and shoulder heating, and an exclusive tablet to control the exceptional MBUX infotainment system. Besides, its one-of-a-kind Hyperscreen is a giant wall-to-wall panel of glass that expands across the instrument panel and ideally covers the infotainment system. While this contemporary dashboard looks futuristic, the EQS comes standard with a more conventional dashboard. The best part is its completely flat floor and also a lengthy 126.4-inch wheelbase that offers the EQS a spacious interior. Cargo space also apparently looks to be more than enough due to its large hatchback as well as useful front trunk.
A highly impressive engine to churn-out maximum power
Mercedes offers the sizable electric sedan with either a 329-hp, rear-drive powertrain (EQS450+) or a 516-hp, all-wheel-drive setup (EQS580 4Matic). The best part is that both are powered by a large 107.8-kWh battery that should offer more than 300 miles of driving range. The EQS450+ has a highly effective electric motor mounted on its rear axle that produces 329 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque. On the other hand, the EQS580 4Matic has an electric motor on each axle, which interprets to all-wheel drive and a total system output of 516 horsepower and 611 pound-feet of torque. It has been estimated that the rear-drive variant will accelerate from 0 mph to 60 mph in just 5.5 seconds. Opting for the more dominant all-wheel-drive model is believed to accelerate from zero to 60-mph time in just 4.1 seconds.
EQS has you covered when it comes to charging, battery life
The distinguishing feature about both EQS models is that they get their power supply from a mesmerizing lithium-ion battery pack that has a usable capacity of 107.8 kWh. Although Mercedes hasn’t expressed anything about the sedan’s EPA-rated driving range, the automaker has estimated that it’ll be good for about 478 miles depending upon the less-taxing European WLTP test cycle. Along with the capability to charge the battery from 10 to 100 percent in almost 11 hours and 15 minutes with the help of a 240-volt (Level 2) charger, the EQS can apparently replenish 70 percent of its battery in approximately 35 minutes with the help of a DC fast charger.
Ideal Infotainment and Connectivity
The MBUX infotainment system on the EQS is undoubtedly one of its most exceptional interior features, most importantly the 56-inch-long Hyperscreen. This is an exceptionally large glass panel on the dashboard with three separate screens, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a 17.7-inch center touchscreen for the MBUX infotainment system, and also another 12.3-inch screen for the passenger. Moreover, the EQS also has a fingerprint scanner that ideally activates individual driver profiles, the “Hey Mercedes” voice-command system, and augmented-reality navigation in the head-up display. It is also worth mentioning here that each model also has six USB-C ports throughout the cabin along with a Burmester audio system.
