Is the EQS really the S-class of EVs?
and the difference is remarkable. There’s now a choice of powertrain soundtracks – we opt for Silver Waves – and many lighting variations from the LED strip atop the dash. Accelerate hard and the lights glow red, accompanied by an unexpectedly bassy, burbling synthesised noise which makes a decent fist of echoing the ebb and flow of e-motor performance. I found it all great fun, but I accept that plenty of people will silence the lot.
You certainly notice it sharpen up the turning circle, making the genteel, lightweight steering feel faster than it is. That endows the EQS 450+ with a range of 484 miles on the WLTP test cycle. And on our brief test drive , the trip computer recorded a consumption of 21.9kWh per 100km, not far off the official drain figure. On our mixed driving route with plenty of brisk acceleration runs, that’s about 3 miles per kWh – slightly better than the EQC managed on hypermiling runs.
The car’s operations are started with a pin code, and it’s linked to the Mercedes Me app on your smartphone. Store your preferences in a profile, even down to your height which helps the EQS set up your seating position, and these settings can be taken from Merc to Merc via the app. And no fiddling around with hidden switches for lumbar support: trace a line on a graphical representation of the seat to select how much bolstering you require.
