The larger EV will be available with an optional third row that pushes seating to seven.
, which integrates three displays—a 12.3-inch gauge cluster, a 17.7-inch touchscreen and a 12.3-inch passenger screen. The Hyperscreen runs the latest version of the MBUX infotainment system, which can handle seven unique user profiles. It also has an embedded navigation system and is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
In the back, the EQS SUV starts to feel like a completely new vehicle. A second row of seats, with room for three adults , comes standard, but you can opt for a third row to boost seating to seven. The rear seats can be folded down for added cargo room. The five-seat model has up to 74 cubic feet of cargo space when the second row is folded down, while the seven-seat version has up to 71 cubic feet of space when the third row is out of the way. A panoramic sunroof also comes standard.
No range figure has been announced, but both the sedan and SUV come equipped with a battery with 107.8-kWh of usable storage. The entry-level sedan can travel 350 miles on a single charge—which is very solid performance,—so SUV, which is bigger and heavier, will likely come in below that. With a 9.6-kW onboard charger and the ability to accept up to 200-kW DC charging, you should be able to fill the battery from 10 to 80 percent capacity in about a half hour.
$102,310 for the EQS 450+ and $119,110 for the EQS 580 4MATIC. We expect the SUV will likely start north of those figures, while staying in the same general range.
