The EQS SUV is a three figure fully electric SUV.
A third row seat is optional.
It comes standard in a rear-drive, one-motor configuration which has an EPA estimated range of 305 miles.
The 4Matic upgrade, which includes two motors, thus making it all-wheel drive, has an estimated range of 285 miles.
Both configurations have a 9.6-kW onboard charger and use a large 107.8-kWh battery.
They are compatible with maximum DC charging output of 200 kW.
The 580 makes 536 horsepower, but even the 450 models with 355-hp are plenty quick, quiet and effortless.
The ride is comfortable and serene and handling is surprisingly agile, partly due to the four-wheel steering.
The brake pedal feels spongy, however.
Controls are daunting at first but manageable.
The EQS SUV boasts a full complement of active safety features, and the adaptive cruise control, combined with lane-keeping assistance, can execute lane changes on its own if the driver signals.
