The all new Mercedes RGB
😅
I really hope the next E-Class/EQE will have a volume knob, physical controls for the climate and beautiful, expensive feeling and precise buttons (no touch panels/surfaces/"buttons")
I believe that screen is optional, no?
@@updlate4756 the hyperscreen yes, as described in the interior part
Soon more to the EQE here on our channel
@@autogefuehl Nice!!
@@autogefuehl Do you know when the EQE will be available in Europe? Within a year? The EQS is just too big for driving around town - and perhaps also a little on the expensive side :/
This is the most comprehensive and helpful video I have seen for the EQS. Thank you for your effort. I am very interested in this vehicle. Mercedes should listen to your criticism and modify the problematic features. You are very talented.
thanks, feel free to recommend!
Clearly this car needs more screens.
And clearly, more lights everywhere.
Why not put some on the wheel arches eh
😅
Yes, and nice skeuomorphic design - Apple dropped it back in 2013 with iOS 7 / iPhone 5S... This is like driving around in a giant internet cafe running Windows Media Player...
I love when people who know nothing about car design start making comments implying that the design is excessive.
Funny joke though. I remember laughing at it a few years ago when people used to post it about Teslas.
@@user-ec9yu1ep2j not sure about you, but I could consider this car, but for comfort, not the hyperscreen. I would not pay extra for that. Notice it even is laggy, that will grow old real fast. But it for sure is a trend, but not sure it is what people want, might go down the same way as 3D tv.
Tesla screens are better because they are responsive and the functions makes sense. In german cars they do not.
sure I know some like to have light everywhere, personally I think volvo does light better since it’s passive - you don’t see the source of the light. That’s much more pleasant (to me)
I agree with Thomas about the controls issue. It does seem like the pendulum has swung far by several manufacturers. Voice control does help but trying to turn on the defroster in bad conditions will surely be frustrating. Liked everything else! Great work on the review and congratulations on a superb car, Mercedes!
thanks Jeff!
Voice control is just as stupid as touch screens. Who really wants to talk waiting for a response from the car when a buttonpush does the trick in a split second? It's a "futuristic" gimmick.
@@tupolev141
What do you need to do besides driving the car that you need to have hapoen in a split second?
At the very least, voice control keeps both hands on the car and your eyes on the road.
@@AchOwed If only it works reliably ...
@@obidean3964
Does your PC or cell phone work reliably?
I think this is your best review yet Thomas. Thanks for the laughs too.
thanks Mike ! =)
I miss the old intro you used to do. And I'm sure everyone else does as well. We miss, "Full speed, full length, Let's go!!!! Here on Auto-geh-fuel!"
Cheers m8 :) the UA-cam algorithm doesn’t like it though:(
I even miss the "full HD". It had a retro feel to it.
@@panzerkami2381 it's not full HD anymore, this is 4K
Wow Thomas , Mercedes Benz really upping their game now with design , Such a beautiful looking car
1st CLASS 👌✔️
interior is gorgeous. exterior is horrendous. good review Thomas!
Thank you, Tomas. Nice experiences that are useful to us. I have a very nice feeling when I look and listen to yours
explanation, I've learned a lot and received a lot of information about cars. Good luck.
🙏🙏 welcome!
such great reviews, thomas. One of a kind. Thanks for the youtube channel excistence.
highly appreciated. Please recommend =)
This set the new bar in luxury EV.
Agreed.
The only luxury EV available ever, tbh.
The most detailed and specific review I checked so far. Of course I have to follow you and of course I want a notification!
Welcome!!
Even alien piloting spaceships are jealous looking at the interior of this car
So many negative people in this comment section. When car companies build cars that looks like all others you cry about how "boring" it is, then they do something radical and different and you whine that it's ugly? I salute Mercedes for having the balls do to something that stands out in a sea of lookalikes.
Also, why do so many people form an absolute opinion based on a youtube video? You really need to see a car in real life and at the very least sit in it (preferably drive it, of course) in order to form even a tentative opinion. Reviews like this one is informative and fun, but you have to be really dense to judge a car based on a video.
Hi Thomas, i’m glad to see that you have became more
Comfortable and humorous in-front of the camera. Great videos, thank you.
The front passenger really does not need an additional media screen when the centre one is that big! I think the normal non-hyperscreen layout has not only a better design that fits the interior shapes more but is also easier to digest visually when you're driving because of the traditional shapes.
Audi's latest screens are also all touch and I really hope they reintroduce the knobs (with the great tactile feedback they're known for) because this higher than steering wheel position in the Audi/lower than steering wheel position in the Mercedes cars is really not ideal for interacting while driving.
👌
Disagree. I don‘t wanna go back to knobs. Touchscreens are the future and with better and reliable autopilots&voice commands not a problem to interact while driving.
The best interior i ever seen , the great review the great future car always .
thanks, feel free to recommend :)
Best review of this vehicle so far. I finally understand its intended market.
Appreciated!
I Love it, but I'm really looking forward to your coverage of the EQE later this year. That is the EQ i'm waiting for.
Very good review 😀 👍 🚗
🙏🙏
Without a doubt, you are one of the best auto-reviewers!
Why does this remind me of a modern CX? A great informative review. Better than other channels just talking about the ambient lighting colours and 'Hey Mercedes'.
Fantastic car and love the hyper screen
5:58
Thomas: “morning Mercedes, what are you wearing today?
Mercedes: “morning! I’m going with a two tone paint gray bottoms with a black top.”
Thomas: “Agh I was hoping for a a Thomas blue but nonetheless a two tone attire will suit us well.”
=)
Awesome job
I have never seen Thomas so excited about a car before!!! You need this car!
😅
Quality as always
Thomas you are the best!!! Greetings from Holland
Dank u wel!
Amazing review as always, thank you. :o)
thanks keep tuning in !
Awesome review 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
🙏🙏
On a cold rainy night in Frankfurt this would be a nice place to be.
I love the fact that you made a night time special !!!
appreciated !
19:54 - you can adjust the hight the trunk opens - for smaller people or smaller garages...
As on every other Merc.
Thanks Thomas, agree about the buttons, they have taken it too far now. But still a beautiful car.
I like the ‘speed of light going through wormhole gravel drive’ sound effect best.
There are two EVs I want. The Model S Plaid for its sheer crazy performance and the EQS 550 for its luxury and range.
Tesla Model S plaid review: ua-cam.com/video/EffB45ISO9M/v-deo.html
Tesla Model X plaid review: ua-cam.com/video/2r-QzeJedBc/v-deo.html
Great all around Review Day and Night... ;-D
😂🙏
Two tone outfit. Very funny Thomas 😁
Do the rear seats recline and if so by about how much?
The problem with touchscreen buttons/functions is that you need familiarity of placement when driving so it doesn’t distract you. Touchscreens change positions of buttons depending on which function you’re accessing but it’s still in the same space so you’re having to remember multiple positions in the same space if that makes sense!
Indeed
As a Tesla owner now considering the EQS, I completely agree with the host on the redundancies of the 3 “hyper” screen setup. The simple no frill info display on one center screen in the Tesla is all I need. The ignition button is also unnecessary, when in the Tesla I just get in the car, put it in drive and off it goes.
Could you check out The 350 EQE Selenite grey model. Really liked that.
Hi Thomas - great review and fantastic car!! How about tow capacity for the EQS? I haven’t been able to find anything about it. I think the normal S class has towing capability but what about the electric ‘sister’? Br Morten
Thanks 🙏 750 kg afaik
The electric SUV models will receive 1800 kg though
the 10degree software unlock for the rear steering seems like a gimmick for a "S" class, which should already be including the latest and greatest, so it shouldn't be charging these type of customers. I could see this more on the A or C class.
Unlike software, which you license, cars you actually own. You have all the rights in the world to modify or unlock any hidden feature on your car. They will just have no legal standpoint to enforce or protect this policy against aftermarket mods, which I think would flourish under this circumstances.
With all of this said, who do you think will be more bothered to look for after market solutions instead of just paying Merc for the unlock? One one hand we have a client who just paid 100k+ dollars/euros/whatever for a car and on the other we have middle class clients that will hardly pass the 50k barrier. An A or C class buyer will have more of a reason to go for a more economical solution.
Truth be told, S-Class Mercedes have always kinda been money suckers out of rich guys pockets. They're always very advanced pieces of engineering, with probably the most hi-tech, abundant and luxurios, collection of optional features. If not milimetrically maintained, they tend to go really awry, yet their clients know outside of MB you will not get the same tech or comfort. Most people either pour a lot of money to mantain them in top form or they sell and buy new ones. Its just the perfect strategy to squeeze the upper class as much as they can.
I could understand if Mercedes charges one time fee for a specific hardware feature. But from what I understand, they plan to set a subscription plan for this rear wheel steering... Is that even legal? How can they justify a monthly fee for a hardware feature already present in the car? Aren't you supposed to own the car when you buy it?
Well the wheel steering 10 degrees is optional (not for the EQS 580 where it is mandatory) and the 4,5 degrees is mandatory. So you can buy afterwards the 10degrees option.
Mercedes likes money.
That home and back button in the UI really reminds me of windows media player ;)
The 'Maybachish' two-tone color looks magnificent.
Welcome to Zurich Thomas :)
Very nice review and I have to admit, your clothes gray in gray fit nicely. For me the EQs from Mercedes have too much of a "Christmas tree and festive lighting* appearance. It looks nice in a review video during the night, but I am not sure if I want that "Hongkong - Las Vegas Neon-lit" style all the times during night driving in the car. It's rather disturbing but as long as I can switch off some of the blinking and moving light strips, it's ok.
I am very much looking forward to your upcoming review of the new AMG SL e-Performance. If possible in cavansite blue or selenite gray magno later this or next year!
thanks and welcome!
The Dolder Grand was the perfect location for this review I thought!
Its an extravagant car for extravagant people... Mercedes is kinda positioning themselves as the Rolls Royce of technology and trendy styling. They're cars are also getting more and more expensive again like in the 80s and 90s.
I think the feeling is that the electric age of cars will bring quite a few changes to the movility landscape and Mercedes doesnt want to go for the masses anymore.
full black one is the most beautiful one
Hi Thomas i have to say this is the best design Mercedes made in a while the car really looks good and smooth they did an amazing job on that matter i think overall the car is very very good congrats Mercedes i love the front design and interior
hey, thanks 4 watching !
Thomas, like the S Class, does the EQS have the road scanning technology to smooth bumps and active anti roll bars to keep the car level in turns?
Thanks
Hey! Afaik no
@Autogefühl Hey Thomas, Could you please in your future videos check the interior build quality of the cars by pressing the panels, central console, dash if it squeacks and your opinion about the materials that they are using... Thanks.
We do that but can certainly do it more often
Thomas I just ordered an EQS 580 based on your review, I have not seen the car, nor driven it. If I don't like it I'm going to hunt you down and demand the 132K I spent on it :) :) :) Wonderful review! Great job as usual.
I like this Mercedes Model S 😝
No shit Thomas ?
Loved this one, but 'that' one was the most fun ever. Kudos on both, anyway.
Keep joining 😄
@@autogefuehl You May Have forgotten, but i am one of the earlyest subs to your channel.
Good luck always.
Absolutely Favorite Car channel- you are the best as far as i am concerned. I find (I am current S Class Customer-and trying to decide between new S-Class and EQS...) your views on the technology- screens and buttons spot on. I absolutely love the metal buttons in my current car- hard to imagine going from that to the crap, plastic haptic bulls$%t. And LOL on the vaccine comment, good luck with that!
Thanks 🙏 more S Class in depth content coming up very soon, stay subscribed and activate notifications :)
I like your shoes Thomas!!
Do we know anything about the price ? About time I think… I actually heard some rumors and didn’t like em (but it could be for the 580 version). Really curious if it effectively will start under €100k.
Do anyone know where the eqs have Keyless Go Convenience Package Plus, which adds powered doors that automatically open as you walk up to the car
I like the idea to activate feature per software later on. I don't need every feature and so I can decide if I want a feature or not. Best would be a subscription model.
But it's strange if you have a 10 degrees rear axle steering already on board but can only use 4,5 degrees.
It's like having 4 doors available but only 2 of them can be opened if you don't pay a premium ...
It will likely cost you more in the long run. The manufacturers are only doing this for profit. It’s not providing any better convenience for the customer because you’ve already paid for the technology on the car, you are driving around with it already it’s just not activated. So you are paying for a feature twice.
Are they or do they have one similar with four wheel drive? Needed if you live in a place with a lot of snow. I feel this car would be great in the west coast and perhaps in large cities such as NYC but up North not so much.
The interior is amazing. Loving the seating and how bright and clear the light coloring is. Also the trunk space is larger the other cars I've seen.
On another note, will they make other ones with more range on a "full tank" 400 miles isn't far if you drive as much as I do.
I'd rate this car an overall 7.9 out of 10.
What’s under the hood ? Storage or engine?
Love that.
Disco Night - Rider....
Yeah but that's a good thing.
It's nice that the step between the side window and the window frame is small! (Japanese)
28:00 That's a typical opinion of someone driving the car not in daily use. After some days you're happy for all the information you see at first glimpse not hidden in sub-menues. You'll never have the problem, that you dont's know where to look at... I hate it to always have to push buttons to see the onformation you wanna see.
I have driven the similar interface in S Class and C Class for longer time. It’s not ideal.
Christmas tree with all those interior lights on. Also wait for the Audi A8 , A6 to come into play
As the Weeknd would say "I'm blinded by the light"....great review as usual!
😄
I was referring to the old song by manfred mann though 😄
The new EQSis certainly ground breaking in terms of design and technology. I do have one query though, whilst the software for traffic is certainly impressive, I assume that even the EQS cannot do anything about the intensely annoying and potentially dangerous practice that some drivers have of "tail-gating"( drivers behind one following without allowing a safe stopping distance between vehicles) ?
Starship enterprise
Beautiful car . Swoopy like a Beetle 🐞
There should be a law to prohibit removing buttons and replacing them with touchscreens. It's more dangerous than using mobile while driving. capacitive buttons are so dangerous, they don't give feedback, freeze, and with time they react to static electricity differently and gives false clicks. Touch screens on the other hand forces the driver to make a lot of gestures that will 100% distract the drivers.
Mercedes Benz EQS 580 is a very beautiful creation.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
About purchasing functionality for the car after purchase - I think it's a great idea, because it should reduce the manufacturing costs and buyers can add functionality on demand.
Excellent video. But I think the EQS needs also a long-wheelbase model. Legroom isn't that impressive at the back.
Perceived quality and that wow factor are becoming more and more important on today's cars like this. No one thinks of actual real life usability or reliability. Looks sell I guess.
All about wowing someone on Instagram these days…sad but true.
I dont see anything in this model except for brand image, definitely not looks. Compare this whale with a DS4.
I always think of older mercedes, which might not have felt the most "premium", but after a few years they're the ones that hold the best... Compare that to the interior of a ten years old Audi... no comment...
I hope manufacturers will soon realize the sweet spot is a balance between physical and digital controls. Jaguar/Land Rover are on to something with adaptive physical knobs that change depending on the digital setting (climate, drive modes, etc), just needs to be turned up a notch
Those sound effects are like in Metro (subway)
How do you turn on the heated steering wheel?
Together with the heated seats 🙄 or individually with a lot of clicks in the infotainment
I heart that the 10 degree rear wheel steering angle is only available for the smaller wheels. With the large wheels EQS580 It's only 4.5 degrees.
21 OK afaik, 22“ not
With the SClass, 20” works with rear axle steering, 21” does not. There is no price list for the EQS yet, so we don’t know for sure. But 21” works with the EQS.
Can you still open the door automatically when there's a car parked beside you in a vertical carpark?
Yes
will the voice control set the ac temperature for the separate ACs?
It usually detects from where the voice command is coming
@@autogefuehl That means you dont have to use the touch temperature controls while you are driving? I'd jsut have to say, Hey Mercedes, set the temperature to 20.
Does the automatic opening door have sensors that objects are nearby?
very good question ...it wud be a shame if the door slams onto a car parked beside yoz in a tight parking space
It does...
It’s only me, but I find that interior lightning obnoxious/disturbing. Especially if in darker environments.
And if they (Mercedes) are using capacitive “buttons” then they should look at smartphone screens or Apple’s trackpad and not the diving style trackpad.
Just curious, why is it that you consider synthetic leather more sustainable? I am assuming synthetic would be made out of plastic?
They’ve made a few videos about it. Search UA-cam for “Autogefühl leather”
Thank you very much for your interest in this topic. As a start, please tune in to what the animal leather industry tried to do here with our channel: ua-cam.com/video/nP_CvLlaFlI/v-deo.html
In general, depending on the animal skin grade, the animals are specifically raised for this matter. However even if meat would be the reason no.1 in other cases, the hide remains one of the most profitable body parts. That means: If manufacturers put animal leather in a car and you accept it as a customer, you give your money to an industry that earns money by oppressing humans, animals and destroys the environment, you make them more profitable. Also, if you turn the argument around "meat is the waste of the leather industry" you realize how biased the argument is. After all, would you care for which body part you would murdered? Or imagine someone robs you on the street and beats you to death - would it matter to you if it was for your Smartphone or for your purse?
The animal agriculture industry occupies 2/3 of all farm land on this planet which cannot be used for direct human nutrition then. That is extremely inefficient. The no.1 cause for deforestation is the animal industry. It is also one of the biggest contributor to climate change. The amount of land, resources, energy and water being used is beyond imagination. If you are interested in how the animals are being treated and transported in the global leather industry, watch this footage: ua-cam.com/video/tkjCAmq1_8E/v-deo.html
Note that the footage is genuine and was recorded by a highly decorated investigative journalist in Germany I know myself personally.
For the alternative, you can either use artificial fabrics which can be made from recyclables (we have already shown a lot of vehicles that use great fabric seats from PET-bottles etc.) or more and more also from plant-based materials (like Pinatex). And even if you would create a seat completely with petroleum without a recycling share, the amount of oil being used for that is nothing in comparing just to once fueling up your car.
In practical reasons, fabric or microfibre seats are just more useful. You do not sweat in summer and it is not cold in winter.
Not using animal skin on seats is a major issue of animal rights, human rights - and after all just of common sense what is better both for the environment and just more practical and more luxurious for the customer. We cannot change what we have bought in the past (that also counts for ourselves of course!), but with more information and compassion we can change how we decide in the future.
What about OLED burn in?
Where is the air bag on the front passenger side?
The best electric car ever seen.
The future is now. Beautiful car.
I really like the interior of this vehicle but the exterior is just a little busy for my liking. I hope when they refresh it, they make it look more like an S-Class
Thomas, can one turn off the passenger screen?
Mann I tell you I think mercedes got something here this car is growing on me the design of the exterior but I think they nailed the interior but I'm still curious about how it will hold up in winter.
I was traveling on an airplane recently. While the crew was reviewing the ‘in case of emergency’ items before takeoff 🛫 I thought to myself ‘how great would it be to have Thomas make these announcements on the plane’. Your soothing voice would put everyone at ease. :) Beautiful automobile!! I love the attention to every detail you can find only in a Mercedes
😄
The main benefits to car manufacturers for building a car with all the options and then requiring them to be enabled via software are (1) cost reduction since all vehicles are built with the same parts and (2) they can now “remove” the options when a leased vehicle is returned or a trade in is accepted by a dealer and charge a new customer to enable those options.
Woah, removing bought options would be the worse!
it would be nice if they did the two tone paint in other colors
So Mercedes pumps in audio for the cla45s bit can't just make a sport engine sound a option on the EQS that's odd
Seen the sound mode part? In a way they did, but not in the combustion engine style way, As I wish to have some funny option
4:12 Inglorious Basterds spoiler :)
