2024 Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV review! The Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV is an incredibly luxurious electric SUV with fairly underwhelming styling, despite the enormous price tag. Today I'm reviewing this EQS SUV and I'll show you the many quirks and features. I'm also going to get behind the wheel and show you what it's like to drive.

Can’t wait to buy this in 10 months for 72 dollars
Wait 12 and get paid to take it
@@charlie1832 😭😭basically
Only to still get judged by people on the internet who think you have too much money/are too stupid to buy a honda or toyota
If you wait 12 months you'll be able to get it for 72 nickles because nobody wants this
I wish.
Someday auto manufacturers will realize that more screens does not mean more luxury
they know that already, but more screens equals less production cost and most people are too stupid to realize, thats why everyones doing it rn
You don't buy Mercedes if you want real luxury. That hasn't been the case for a long time. Mercedes is expensive and that's that. Everyone knows that you have too much money.
rolls royce exists
@@UhOhUmmI see you have never owned an S Class.
Also remember most of the screens and rgb lights are there bc they like it in Asia, and that's their biggest market. They like all the in-your-face tacky displays of opulence.
Within the first 15 seconds of the video I immediately went to the comments hoping to see people roasting someone who'd buy this, I wasn't disappointed
The Maybach EQS Night Series overall is 7.1/10 car.
Same here.
SAMEEEEE
I love the goofy fancy accent Doug uses when reviewing super luxurious cars. Gets me every time
That is called the Gray Poupon accent.
@@rebellucy6200 hahaha yes exactly!
Doug is the type of guy to give a Maybach EQS a whopping 6/10 for styling
It’s ridiculous.
Those rims with Maybach logos are so tacky😂
they appear to be plastic 😭
Tacky cars for a tacky clientele. Makes sense when its rappers and pimps buying maybachs.
@@User540a I refute tht I'ma a pimp nd I'm not buying it
You have to love that Doug qualified them as subtle…😮
That's the only good feature on the whole thing
I can't think of a less desirable car at that price point.
I love EVs, but I have to agree, this looks like awful value for money
I can’t agree more. Only reason I watched this review was because it’s such an unremarkable car for such a high price.
@@alexalonzo7955 its identicle in terms of quality and luxury to any other maybach, except its all electric and has more screens upfront...
@@user-um3fx2vk8r if youve been in a maybach s class youd know this is nowhere near as nice, the cabin literally creaks. terrible build quality for $200k+
its targeted at people with money obviously not you
Man I really love Dougs different accents/ voices. There is of course this opulent voice which tells the “plebians“ to get out of the way. Then there’s the tough truck guy which he makes obvious with all the arm movement. And of course who could forget the Porsche enthusiast who keeps going on about their spec and what pattern they have on their seatbelts and which color their headlight washer caps are. Just the best in the game!
I'm glad you mentioned that the front camera isn't centered, so I went with a 2002 Honda Civic instead. Thanks for saving me $200k 😎
Honda civic rear camera isn’t centered either 🤣. Trust me, I have a Honda civic 2023 😂.
😂😂😂😂
so u got 2002 civic for free? where can i get mine bro
The depreciation on this EQS is about to be insane
People need to buy a couple in order for it to depreciate.. not sure that will be happening.
People who can afford to buy this car don't care about depreciation
Jaguar I-Pace also had better engine notes than 2024 Maybach EQS Night Series.
idk why the higher ups still have us make them man were wasting time and evergy
Mercedes don’t depreciate much, do your research
Mercedes designer: “How many Maybach logos you want on this thing?”
Mercedes CEO: “Enough so that Stevie Wonder can see them”
Designer:”Say no more”
🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣
Maybach GLS is a bit more powerful than EQS.
You win!!! So true.
-How many logos do you want?
-Yes.
Automatic closing doors? Can the engineers come up with any more useless "features" they can try to market as "luxuries?" (that will ultimately end up breaking after 10 years)
A new Mercedes-Maybach review with almost 400k views and literally no positive opinions in the 2k+ comment section. What a time to be alive...!
Why does MB insist on making all touchscreens look like a 2008 android tablet
Don't be insulting, bro! A 2008 android tablet runs at way more FPS.
Yeah, even 2008 devices run better than this garbage they put in cars. Blows my mind how bad their in-house software and hardware is
Because this vehicles are not targeting young buyers.
In the EQS they put actual tablets in front of the rear seats. I think they were old Samsung ones.
There weren't any yet. The only tablet in 08 was the one you carry food on. But i suppose, that was the joke.
Crazy. It looks like a 80K SUV at best on a good day
Even at 80k I would feel bad for someone who paid that much for something so boring and lame.. let alone 200k
I like the Eqs but this is robbery
I’d rather buy a gclass with extra options
The really bad part is that i thought the wheels, and other exterior bits were forged carbon not a bunch of logos
It looks way cheaper than that.
You’re being generous.
$75K fully loaded at best.
'eqs 680' sounds like a model name of some printer😅
The car kind of looks like a printer too lol
Am I’m on the only that laughs when Doug says “Plebeian” 😂😂😂😂😂
Literally nobody: “How to cheapen the Mercedes-Maybach brand?”
Mercedes: “Let me show ya!!”
Such a shame
MG and Mini would be proud of that.
The problem with Mercedes electric cars is not that they’re bad cars or that they’re electric, it’s that they’re hideous
To me this design language is just pure void, nothing. Looks like a bad taste gamer setup or something, ugh
I mean their EV lineup really isn’t that great compared to other companies EV lineups
@alexlabs4858 yes it is they have the best interiors and great range
@@pinkraven4402 every gaming setup is cringe
@@autograndeunlimited Bro this thing has a range of like 280 miles what are you yapping about 😭
Doug is the type of guy to climb over a glass wall to see what's on the other side
This car should come with a Mercedes Dunce hat for owners to wear to show how smart they are
Mercedes Exec: "Alright Maybach team, what do we have for the EQS?"
We can include pillows!
Excellent, anything else?
Lets stamp our logo on every single pillar and location so everyone knows its a Maybach!
Brilliant. Charge them $200k
EXCEPT FOR THE FRONT AND BACK EMBLEM!! How on earth do you have those ugly Maybach spoke things on the wheels to let everyone know you were scammed by Mercedes like that, but not the emblems that would be the best sign of the fact you are not driving any Mercedes.
this is why i say maybach lost all of its value... they don't make unique cars anymore...
@@redvividthey do the same class Maybach is special and nice
@@autograndeunlimited they are not making unique cars like the Maybach 57/62. They just slap the Maybach logos on regular Mercedes-Benz cars and do some interior work and then say pay 200k+. You're better off buying a non Maybach version, save money, and still get luxury. Maybach is now only marketing material.
@redvivid no they don't. Only the s class and gls and this have the Maybach badge
They don't just slap some logos they take an already very luxurious e class for example and extend its wheel base and add many luxury finishes amenities and features
Non Maybach version doesn't have anywhere near as much leg room or space or features or quality finishes or ride quality or sound insulation etc
If a spray tan was a vehicle.
😂😂😂
Accurate!
Hahahaha!
rofl
Makes me want to pump my fist.
Doug is the type of guy that'll brag on a "fully recling" back seat that doesn't actually fully decline😅 that far or flat
I totally agree with you on the smoothness and awesome quality of the ride!!! I drive a 2023 EQS, and it's the quietest and smoothest ride I've ever driven.
I really wanted one of these until I saw the off-center front camera, so I decided to get a 1994 Corolla
Excellent choice.
LMAO 😂
1994 Celica man, Celica
give it up cupcake, you're not funny at all
In just a few short years, your Corolla will be worth more.
We should start a gofundme to get Doug a a furry fuzzy thing for his mic to block the wind and shirt rubbing noises
why would we willing give a rich guy money???
It's called a dead cat😂
Dude he has the worst mic
He has a CGT, he can buy his own damn mic
Come on now, that's no way to talk about john cooper
16:25 LOVE there is an offroad setting for this. You know people are going to be offroading these all the time lol
It’s nice to have the back up camera tucked away and protected from the elements until you park your Maybach outside in a snowstorm and it’s frozen shut when you go to reverse
The washer fluid reminds me that I need to do laundry.
Yeah, it's just like a modern "fancy" washing machine. Not convenient for a washer fluid fill, but who would be filling their own fluid anyways... Not the type of person buying this!
I'm just wondering if it locks to prevent plebians from urinating in it
Whenever you see a car company overuse their logo on their cars, you know they are relying on the name to carry the sales
🤝 because if you have genuinely done a great job,you don’t splash the product with logos
True but, I doubt many people even know what a Maybach is
The rear speakers look like a Bluetooth speaker you'd order from Temu.
Rolls is wining on luxury aspect
The spectre for me is just perfect
The badging is absolutely out of control. What the hell?!
Might as well wrap it in Maybach logos like a hideous Louis Vuitton bag
I will truly be surprised if MB sells more than 500 of these this year.
They don’t release sales numbers for the maybachs because their just classified as what the class is, in the case the EQS SUV
100 would be a more likely target
I'd be surprised if they sell 5 😂
Why does the cars and bids ad sound like it was recorded whilst hiding in a wardrobe? I love Doug
$50K in 2 years!
Next year for $80k used, 4000 miles
yeah if your dumb enough to buy this just wait one year.
@@joesmith9216People lease these cars.
10k after 10 years
Or the junkyard😂
*60k
The interior looks like a cheap nightclub trying to compensate with RGB lights and screens everywhere.
It looks like a bad taste gaming setup
yeah, because nappa leather on every surface is "cheap" right? morons
You're blind
@@autograndeunlimitedMore like using this car would make you go blind.
The rear speaker looks like a Temu Bluetooth speaker.
i thought mercedes gave up on eletric cars
Doug is a type of guy that calls a fingerprint scanner a "detector"
I was able to sit in one of these at the Pittsburgh auto show last month. When I saw the wheels, I couldn’t help but chuckle because of how cheesy those wheel covers are, but this was the most comfortable car I’ve ever sat in.
I've never once wanted lace wheel covers for my car.
Imagine if thr wheel covers were gold?)
Mercedes luxury philosophy: Cover everything in glossy black, and tack a screen on it!
Sounds almost Lincolnesque...Black Label.
How can Mercedes-Benz improve the specification of the Black series, by adding an actual black person in the trunk.
"Night Series" broooo
Screens and piano black in a Kia: “Wow what a high-end, luxurious interior!”
Screens and piano black in a Mercedes: “Wow that’s so cheap and lazy!”
I find it interesting the Doug has been so amazed by the backup camera being integrated in the car emblem. Apparently VW didn't do a good job of showcasing this feature when they implemented it on the VW CC...in 2012.
Amazing how close this is to our EQS 580. We don’t have auto closing doors, rear massaging seats, rear screens, etc. But we love the 4-level ambient lighting, outstanding rear wheel steering, hyper screen, fragrance dispenser, ionizing air cleaner, massaging front seats, pillows front & rear, ultra smooth / quiet ride, and near 400 mile range.
Tesla needs to put some of these luxury features in the model S.
All this bling reinforces the fact that Mercedes cars are no longer built by engineers like before, but by designers.
Alfa Romeos were built by designers. This thing is built exclusively by marketing wanketeers.
The purple LEDs and the bold pinstriping makes it look like the cheesiest night club you've ever been to
Designers would never accept logo fetish like seen in this latest monstrosity. It goes to rediculous lengths and it has to end.
By designers who can’t even design a beautiful Mercedes now.
Absolutely right! All downhill after the W140
This is the best Nissan Murano I’ve ever seen!
Is there any option with rear seats that can fold forward?
I took a shot everytime he said maybach, I’m now being rushed to the hospital
😂😂
Praying for a quick and full recovery. God bless.
🤣🤣
😅 I did the same experiment with the word special. I’m recovering since the Aston Martin video
Doug the kind of guy to review luxurious electric cars with awful depreciation
Depreciates $20,000 the moment you sign the papers 😂
Carrying on the Maybach tradition.
Will be $80k next year at a FIAT dealer.
You really think people buying these give a flying f*** about that ? 😁
@@doudymac They aren’t buying them. These are lease machines.
I think the drivers seat should come with an integrated dill dough to remind the owner of what the depreciation will do to them
😂
I would love to know what the replacement cost of that front mega screen when it's out of warranty
Somebody breaks into Dougs house......
Doug: THISSSSS... is a 12 Guage Shotgun
More like a Nerf gun
ugh... so not at all funny
Not original nor humorous. Your life is clearly pathetic.
Doug would be too busy explaining the quirks and features rather than shooting 😂
@@slowery43it is, stfu
likely available for 25% off MSRP at your nearest dealer
Does it use Maybach washer fluid
The car looks fabulous, maybe not for the taste in every country, I like it a lot and think it looks next gen and luxurious.
Damn, someone at Mercedes really couldn‘t let go of the R-class and managed to revive it
As if normal EVs didn't depreciate fast enough
You can tell from the video the sound deadening is immaculate
Wasn't the compartment at 9:15 the fridge? At least theres a handle and a drawer visible inside.
Doug love the special touches, like the A-Class rear wiper arm.
The rear mounted screens are an afterthought
Well that's how they are 99% in cars with rear screens. Though they could be a bit slimmer like in VAG cars.
Not an afterthought, but rather a terrible implementation.
Look at the finer details like the inside of the glovebox and storage compartments cheap and nasty.
doug you are the best ....you are so funny .... best cars review
more corcks of luxury cars pls
I love how Doug changes his voice to an English Lord when talking about non-plebian solutions in luxury cars like in 9:00
You might as well live in that vehicle for that price
It'd be cheaper than any housing in my area... Now that you say that... 🤔
Houses are way too expensive fr
These will be under 50K in just a few years. A house is a better buy.
With what we see with electric car resale prices, within a year it will be around $100k and $60k in 2 years, then it will be a pretty nice value proposition
We got our 2017 v12 Maybach for around 80/90k a few years ago. 😂 Gotta live depreciation
This has to be the kitchiest modern Maybach.
My OCD kicked in when you mentioned the camera in the front not centered, that would drive me nuts , I guess now I have to save a couple more extra dollars and just get the Rolls Royce Spectre .
Kept on Nantucket and now worth 2,000 euros due to underbody rust and the battery shorting out. . .
Ambient lighting in Mercedes never fails to look incredibly cheap and tacky. The way they implement it in the dash and doors looks like a kit from ebay and the default pink gives off saints row vibes.
It does look extremely tacky. Since they started it the design gives off "spoiled teen girl" vibes as a car that some LA parents would buy for their daughter who has never been told no once in her life because she graduated high school.
There is nothing "upscale" or "classy" about the screens and lights. It's very tacky. The seats are nice! And I'm sure the ride is pretty good, but it ends there.
The funnier part to me is the Chrysler 300 for drivers has individual heated or cooled cup holders. So I can have a hot drink in one, and cold in the other. Not jn the Mercedes-Benz Maybach eqs of course, only hot or only cooled
Had an EQS SUV as loaner for 3 weeks. The material and build quality are far below the price it asked, and all the screens are just making the car feels cheap. An EQS interior feels like low end GLE or GLC for 2x more of the price.
did they forgot to "night edition" the tray tables lol, looks like a 90s beige plastic table found in a minivan
I assume it´s a weight saving measure.
Those party gimmicky door opening/closing mechanisms are for sure heavy as hell.
The way he reviews these ultra luxury cars is hilarious
Mecedes is building gta 5 version of themselves at this point
This is disgusting.
The price, the looks, and the fact that MB has the GALL to put things out like this only further diminish their standing as a true luxury brand, which for decades, was taken seriously as a marque to own proudly with some level of distinction.
This is so far away from the grace they used to so passionately embody, its hard to fathom.
100% agree. This appeals to the “more taste than brains” crowd
Mercedes never was a luxury brand, they made their money building 4 cylinder diesel taxis.
@bux834 yes it was always a luxury brand
Why did you mention the front facing camera 😂. Now whenever I see any Benz that's what I'll look for
It doesn’t photograph well, but in person it looks unique. The price is insane for what is essentially a disposable car. No way anyone with enough money to afford a new EV will want this in ten years.
The depreciation on that car will be massive. Just wait. In 2-3 years the car will be available for 100k or so.
I'm sure Chinese customers will be impressed
And rappers who want to flex their eco-friendliness.
@@bwofficial1776 oh yeah for sure this car was made with basketball americans in mind
Why would anyone buy this when Mercedes announced they will move away from EQS weird design next generation?
The manufacturer intends this thing to be memory holed. It's the epitome of lease then throw away. There won't be one left in existence ina decade.
Because they like the look of the car? They haven’t said their changing the EQS either, they’re simply dropping the EQ name.
Paying $200,000 for old android tablets for backseat passengers, true luxury
When Doug tests an SUV for over 200', is it too much to ask to hear slightly less about the plebians, and slightly more about the size of the battery, the efficiency and the realistic range? Doug likes to talk about mpg for ICE's, so why no comparable information for EV's?
I’m guessing because someone that wants to waste their money on a car like this doesn’t care about the range.
What is going on with those wheel trims? Did they rob a 1990's Citroen?
😂😂 ikr
My Uber driver had those same backseat tablets in his corolla
You nailed the review. They missed the mark on so man levels. Oddly badged and appointed. And, to make the windshield fluid access a design point is ham fisted. Personally, I wouldn't have it as a gift, but having just spent the winter in places such as Montecito and Palm Springs and LaJolla and Malibu...they'll sell a million of 'em.
Doug I think you make enough to afford a sound guy. Please hire one
You mean Murano right? Right?..
Doug, could you please have a look at what’s wrong with the mic? In the last videos it has been noisy
He just needs a wind buffer on it, the fluffy thing you see on some mics.
Yes please Doug my guy. I love your videos but that noise is unbelievable. We’re all excited to see what’s next, but we can’t watch it with that noise. Thanks DD!
Doug is to busy. Please buy one of his cars off cars and bids if you want your comments read
@@aempire2360it’s not from wind, it’s just from rubbing on his skin/shirt (see placement on his collar)
So annoying. And it's only been recently
I'm still confused, so are those the actual rims or just hubcaps?
I don't know why the tailgate release and back up camera came in as something new My 2016 Golf TSI had that same style for tailgate release and back up camera in the same spot.
This will be a loaner for service soon, I’m sure. My local dealer was giving out the AMG versions of the EQs because they can’t sell them 🤦🏻♂️😂😂
Can't wait for yuri and jakub to count all those maybach logos
How many miles on a full charge?
it looks like a fancy kia
yea is this a KIA EV6 Night Edition? (which would be ¼ the price)
Kia wishes they could build anything other than a shitbox for plebs.
@@rustler08I wish you'd look at any of their new models
"KIA is a VASTLY superior machine." - Ashley Schaffer
No way. Any Kia looks better than this. I would honestly rather have an EV9 over this abomination
Uff, 200k+ for effectively 1 cup holder in the back, but 2 buttons 3 inches from each other to open the same thing and a bunch of pillows. No fridge either
Do dealers add mark-ups or mandatory add-ons to ultra expensive cars ? Genuine question.
Bout to put some head pillows in the back of my 95 Taurus
sadly, that car is better than this thing, esp the old SHO Tarus
Last year of the best Taurus body style!
I have one in my profile pic, but in an extremely goofy fashion (yes it's real).
Can't lie I'd absolutely drive a catfish generation Taurus wagon with the 3.0l Duratec. One of the last vehicles you could get with rear facing back seats in the hatch to my knowledge.
So Doug, is this how you're announcing your Land Cruiser replacement? LOL
i have a purple m240ix like yours, how do you like it?
Doug is the type of guy to give a Maybach EQS a whopping 6/10 for styling
We might have the biggest deprecator contender on our hands
25k just to have everything black ? I dont think that's really worth it. Like the dual tone has more presence.
I doesn't really matter, this car has 0 presence imo, void
It's an electric skateboard under a jellybean shaped casing with tablets slapped across the inside. Even with dougs MB apologist position this thing is horrendous. Who gets this over a bentayga I do not know.
@@ruvindap66the regular GLS maybach outsells the bentagya so I’d say the petrol version is a better comparison
Hey @DougDeMuro, I was just asking, why you haven't done a video on a Celica 6 Gen? 👀
