Mercedes-Benz has released price information for the EQS electric sedan. When it comes to the United States this autumn, the 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS will start at $102,310. In comparison, the base 2022 Mercedes S-Class begins at $109,800 before taxes and fees. As a result, the entry-level EQS is $7,490 less expensive than the legendary luxury sedan.
The EQS is offered in three trim levels: Premium, Exclusive, and Pinnacle.
The EQS is theoretically available in a single-motor, rear-drive 450+ with 329 horsepower and 550 nm. There's also a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive 580 4Matic with 516 horsepower and 828 Nm of torque. The battery pack in both versions is 108.7 kilowatt-hours.
Mercedes has not yet provided EPA-estimated ranges for these models, although the most efficient variant can go 487 miles or 784 km in the WLTP test.
The 450+ includes a 12.8-inch portrait-oriented infotainment screen as standard. Customers who choose the 580 4Matic receive the stunning 56-inch Hyperscreen display. Mercedes' entire array of driver assistance systems comes standard on both powertrain versions. This features a more advanced cruise control system that can maintain the car in a single lane. A 360-degree video system provides parking assistance for EVs. The base Premium grade includes heated and ventilated front seats, a panoramic roof that opens, a Burmester sound system, and 64-color ambient lighting.
The front seats have faster heating and a massage feature when you upgrade to Exclusive trim. A head-up display is also available. These versions include an Air Balance cabin fragrance system with a HEPA filter and four-zone temperature control for added comfort.
The Pinnacle, the top-of-the-line model, focuses on the rear passengers. Backseat passengers enjoy power-adjustable seats with heating, ventilation, and extra-padded Comfort headrests. In addition, there is a wireless charging station in the middle armrest.
All EQS customers receive two years of free, unlimited DC fast charging on the Electrify America network.
