The 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS sedan is built on a new EV platform called EVA2.
Available in rear- and all-wheel drive, the EQS is powered by a 107.8-kilowatt-hour battery that delivers up to 784 km (487 miles) of range, based on the WLTP testing cycle.
The sedan has sports car-like performance, delivering up to 516 hp and with a 0 to 60 mph time of up to 4.1 seconds.
The EQS can be charged with up to 200 kilowatts at fast-charging stations with direct current — recovering up to 300 kilometers (186 miles) of range in 15 minutes.
A 126.4-inch wheelbase creates a roomy interior, while an aerodynamic exterior reduces the EV’s drag coefficient to 0.20, Mercedes said.
Available rear-axle steering — capable of a steering angle of up to 10 degrees — allows the more than 17-foot-long sedan to have the maneuverability of a compact car.
The EQS, packed with up to 350 sensors, boasts smart tech and spacious displays.
The cockpit is anchored by a 56-inch curved high-resolution “Hyperscreen” that stretches from A-pillar to A-pillar and combines three screens — a 17.7-inch center display flanked by a pair of 12.3-inch screens.
