it has heat pump for extended winter range,it has a clutch to deactivate front motor from powertrain in dual motor variants which will lead to 16 percent greater range in dual motor variants and increase of 11 percent in single motor models which is impressive and it will closer the gap between dual and single motor models in range,so you can get similar range in long highway trips in dual motors to single rearwheel drive motors which is impressive indeed,very well done mercedes
Well done Mercedes: You found a way to make the i7 look pretty! These things depreciate in value like crazy, in Germany you can buy an EQS thats not even a year old from a certified dealer with very low millage (20-30k miles) for around half its original price and it even is a clean title. Finding such offers is nothing rare, it just shows that no one on earth wants the Mercedes eq series cars!
100% agree with you here. They forgot the most important thing. People dont desire these cars. They might be good to drive or something, but do I want one? Hell no!!!
@@runeisaksen6781 What makes this even more stupid: The EQS has an air drag coefficient of 0.2 and looks like shit. Just to compare this number: The w205 c-class (a very beautiful car) has 0.23 and a g30 5 series has 0.22. Moral of the story you can make very aero dynamic cars that look fantastic and I am shure that Mercedes would actually start selling a couple units if they would sacrifice a tiny bit of range for a nice looking exterior.
Dude, here in the UK they have literally available stock for every combination of EQS in the premises. When I tried the configurator, I thought it was showing an average time to deliver. I called MB, they told me they have plenty of stock available. By means of plenty, tens of new cars. They do 0.0% APR over here and a discount around £15k without negotiation.
I just wish it STILL didnt look like a 100k+ Toyota Prius. Thats the EQ line's biggest deterrent. If they could just have done an update to the AMG GT body and put all the tech/battery architecture etc It would've been incredible - desirable. IT's got a .20 Drag coefficient - well the W213 had a .23. Its possible to achieve the range and low drag and have a beautiful car.
Well said! Mercedes have totally lost the plot…comparing the new egg shaped designs to BMWs muscle bodies just saddens me! The EVs are damn expensive compared to competitors..the least they could do is give it a befitting body! I hear EQS and EQE use the same chassis.
My elderly parents have owned over 50 new Mercedes in their lifetime and they would buy a electric one but they hate the electric cars designs, people just want a normal nice looking car not some weird egg shaped pseudo futuristic design
In recent designs Merc has removed the hood ornament and decided to slap 3 pointed stars all over the body and the lights instead which just looks ridiculous…
My biggest problem with the EQS was... the price.. imagine paying that much money for a car that looks not that good... or paying that much for a trash e-car which nobody cares in some years...
They need to recreate the entire chassis, that shape is just hideous, even the new prius looks better. We need the iconic long straight hood. If ur gonna do short hood taycan did it best, mid engine supercar style
Agreed. That front grill says "whale shark" to me and we all can agree, those things are hideous looking. (It also kinda looks like the 2023 Genesis G90). 🤷🏻♂
For me the biggest upgrade is the rear seats in this update. Correct me if I’m wrong, but when EQS launched, I don’t remember Merc marketing it as an S-Class alternative. No long wheel-base, no PR material of a lounge chair for the back and no dedicated 2-seater thrones, all of which are heavily featured in the S-Class marketing. So now it’s good to see the luxury has been taken a step up in this update.
The electric Mercedes’s are so ugly, doesn’t have the real Merc’s adn ….the sales shows that! On top the build materials quality is poor! What the heck was in Gordon head when they approved this egg???
Very very true. Doesn't look 100k at all. Would never buy this. One of the most dissapointing EV's out there. It should have been like the Mission E/Taycan. They totally, totally missed the ball there. Check out how the concept used to look like in comparison to this. My lord.
When I drove the ‘old’ EQS (450+ and 580), I was really disappointed by the comfort of the rear seats. In general I also didn’t get the same luxury vibe as I get with the s-class. Although the driving aspect of it was nice and nearly as comfortable as the s-class. It doesn’t seem to be worthy of the S name imo.
Wow somehow theyve managed to the grill and headlights looking looking more like they cone from a previous gen Honda. Check out the Honda HRV from 2017, that grill amd headlight design looks very similar.
Personally I think the 7 series with its controversial looks shouldn't be the model for a future S-class. It's just a massive waste of space. I'd much prefer traditional looks (three-box) with smart packaging like in the Lucid Air, meaning huge interior space, a big frunk etc. in a relatively compact car. About the new EQS. I think it a nice upgrade compared to the previous model.
Alot of the people here misunderstand the EQ sedans particularly this one. It legit has one of the best range of ev and they are really desirable in our region. People buy them for the range and yes they are cheap due to depreciation compared to rivals.
The new face is a vast improvement. But still a bit expensive and still not as luxurious as an S-Class. Still, a step in the right direction. I wonder if you can retrofit the new grille in the 2022 model.
So, it has improved range thanks to more battery capacity and updated regenerative braking software, and the car companies why used EV prices are dropping at a faster level vs ICE used models, if every few years, the battery tech gets better, it means the older tech there is absolute (old), so, if not a software update, car companies are destroying the value of used EVs, every time they do a midcycle update or new-gen
@Remove Before Race, Hi. I enjoy watching your videos. You mentioned heat pump in the clip. Is it purpose to heat a battery in cold conditions and by doing this to improve the range?
Much hate here, but I can certainly see myself enjoying driving to and from work in this, enjoying the Merc comfort and Burmester sound system, instead of standing in a cramped and delayed train.
Dead front on it looks fantastic. I just really dislike the look of it side and rear views. The sooner they move these models to look like the fuel versions the better with updated lights etc. Range is getting there now also.
The styling update is a step in the right direction, but it still lacks that S -class elegance. Mercedes should never have ditched their iconic hood ornament.
Sorry MB, this is NOT enough! I was a S Class lifer and granted parole to the I7. Not going back! In fact, I’m watching this video on the 32 inch TV in my I7!
It's amusing how, despite the lessons from the car tuning scene of the 2000s, Mercedes designers seem to equate elegance with covering a car in LED lights! 😂
What’s the actual range not claimed range. My Tesla Model Y claimed a 530km range, actual range was 250kms+. I respect you but stop quoting your sponsor from Stuttgart 😅
I own one and I don’t understand the trashing of the looks of this car. I love it the first time I saw it on the street not knowing what model and had so many compliments since I owned it. I think the trashing mainly coming from Benz fanboys hoping that it should look more the traditional look. I’m so glad it didn’t, especially compared to the new S class.
The new front is a marginal improvement, but it’s still pig ugly. A new grille and the lovely interior can’t hide that it looks like a vast melted slug. I’m still baffled that Mercedes actually greenlit the design.
Still doesn't look great in my opinion. They need to go back to what the concept car looked like because that was an outright stunner. If they did that, they wouldn't be able to keep up with demand.
Ev is not practical if u stay in new york, u need a way to rapidly charge up like gas without affecting the lifespan of the batteries. A car needs to be able to be used for at least 15yrs. I hv doubts merc n bmw will hv 15 yrs software support for their ev cars and batteries
Dear Mercedes, make the eqs to look like a normal Sclass. I could care less if it had half the range but look proper like a rolls Royce spectre. I don't know who told all manufacturers that electric cars need to look like an egg
Mercedes live in fear that they will fall into the trap that jaguar fell into in the mid 2000s and become an 'old persons brand' - they counter this by always trying to be as futuristic as possible, even if that's at the expense of making nice looking cars

No, it starts at 11:38
You kept it real my G 👊🏽
Sticking a fake grill on the front ain't fooling nobody... it still looks like a Model 3 competitor as opposed to an electrified S Class.

I'm a huge mercedes fan but the EQ series it's not for me
why ?

if you aren't an engineer just stfu......
someone at Mercedes actually had an idea to design a car after an egg. and they all thought it was a great idea 🤣
🤣🤣🤣 delusional
Hideous.
1992 mazda 121 looked much better
Have you seen one? Did you drive one? I was critical too - then I got one and its an awesome car
@@bavariancarenthusiast2722 that’s the issue, people will bark before trying 😂

No worries, the value will drop by a half in just a year.
It looks like a Dodge Dart but priced like an S class 🤢
They need to recreate the entire chassis, that shape is just hideous, even the new prius looks better. We need the iconic long straight hood. If ur gonna do short hood taycan did it best, mid engine supercar style
BMW i7: "oooooh yeah baby. check out my ugly face".

wow this looks really ugly well done
Agreed. That front grill says "whale shark" to me and we all can agree, those things are hideous looking. (It also kinda looks like the 2023 Genesis G90). 🤷🏻♂
At least it was better than the previous gen
For me the biggest upgrade is the rear seats in this update. Correct me if I’m wrong, but when EQS launched, I don’t remember Merc marketing it as an S-Class alternative.

It still doesn't look all that great, HOWEVER, it definitely looks better than before despite the changes being smallish (exterior wise).
The only uglier car is its own predecessor.
It looks like a Model 3 competitor but is priced and marketed like an S class.
how is the fit and finish? a question one should ask with all Mercedes products lately.
Plastic airbag cover looks indeed so much s class 😂
Wow! The return of the classic grill! Thank you Mercedes!
Will anyone buy EQS to drive it? No they can buy the Taycan.... Will anyone buy EQS to sit at the back? No they can buy an i7
Or a real S class...
@@justthevoicebackup280 ICE cars many more choices....
The problem isn’t the front end. It’s the entire car, the shape is just really ugly and not fit for such an expensive car
True
This man said everything perfectly. Cancel the whole damn car...
I think it looks fine.
The electric Mercedes’s are so ugly, doesn’t have the real Merc’s adn ….the sales shows that! On top the build materials quality is poor! What the heck was in Gordon head when they approved this egg???

I think it still looks too round and not like a mercedes
Yep, still hideous.
idk in person even the original eqs looks pretty darn good, spaceship vibes especially during the night.
When I drove the ‘old’ EQS (450+ and 580), I was really disappointed by the comfort of the rear seats. In general I also didn’t get the same luxury vibe as I get with the s-class.

800km….
In city.
Bro i dont understand why ppl throwing theese wltp numbers.
On the highway this range is about 450km.
Yup. Specifically when talking about a car such as this one, meant for long journeys
450 km in highway, on a big limousine...its pretty good. Any other comparable ev car with that much range?
idk what yall are talking about it looks like a spaceship and I love it
Quick thinking after you said "I love to squeeze them" 🤣 That's what I like about RBR, informative with some humor hidden.
The most elegant electric car yet
Wow somehow theyve managed to the grill and headlights looking looking more like they cone from a previous gen Honda. Check out the Honda HRV from 2017, that grill amd headlight design looks very similar.

holy cow this looks milesss better than the previous face, Mercedes S Class needs the 3 pointed star
The shape looks really good in person. The problem is the cramped rear seats.
The new face is a vast improvement.
But still a bit expensive and still not as luxurious as an S-Class. Still, a step in the right direction.
I wonder if you can retrofit the new grille in the 2022 model.
All new is hilarity. Hopefully they go the BMW route with the EV version looking exactly like the ICE version

@Remove Before Race,
Hi. I enjoy watching your videos.
You mentioned heat pump in the clip. Is it purpose to heat a battery in cold conditions and by doing this to improve the range?
The way they can fix this car is by scraping it and make a completely new one
Much hate here, but I can certainly see myself enjoying driving to and from work in this, enjoying the Merc comfort and Burmester sound system, instead of standing in a cramped and delayed train.
Still ugly AF. Bandaid update. They need to change the whole shape of the car
If they went the BMW route and made look just like the actual S Class.... it most likely would've sould well.
@@MMediaP BMW has been making some hideous cars too to be fair.
@@aye3678 I didn't say they had to look like a bmw. Just follow their formula.
And yes I agree bmw just keeps getting uglier n uglier.
@@MMediaP 🤣🤣I think so too or maybe it’s the ugly grill and 7 series headlamps 🤣
@@badejavuade6774 I liked the previous one. This split headlamp mess is just ugly. Current one looks like a pig with chola eyebrows
How long does it take to charge?
It’s still missing the white gloves accessory. Who am I to comment on the best car manufacturer flagship product?
Does it has an 800volt battery,can you show me its plaque？
I see these all of the time here in the Houston area!
The quite opposing in person I like it lol
The EQS is not imposing and lacks the grandeur as the S-class.
Dead front on it looks fantastic. I just really dislike the look of it side and rear views. The sooner they move these models to look like the fuel versions the better with updated lights etc. Range is getting there now also.
The styling update is a step in the right direction, but it still lacks that S -class elegance. Mercedes should never have ditched their iconic hood ornament.
Why is the mileage figures higher than in the US? They're saying 353 or something
Sorry MB, this is NOT enough! I was a S Class lifer and granted parole to the I7. Not going back! In fact, I’m watching this video on the 32 inch TV in my I7!
Now they can put Samsung solid state battery in S Class for 600 miles range, 10 min full charge time and 20 yr battery warranty.
Don’t like the change to the grill or the old 80’s style hood ornament. Love the hyper screen.
Someone needs to tell them that this car is the electric s class. Just this really and then the designers will make it beautiful
They should’ve made a bigger version of the EQ XX and it should’ve been a replacement for the CLS
The basic shape is still ugly, regardless of the drag coefficiency being better.
I quite like it, much nicer than the i7 hideousness for sure... range is great too, wonder what the 4Matic range would be.
People do not understand that EVs need to be round to have range, it is simple physics(aerodynamics).
Real highway range during a heatwave or cold wave would 490 kms and much lower than that after 2-3 years of battery degradation.
Let that sink in
"All New Face" - lol
Way is the back seat getting smaller?? Also that hyper screen doesn’t scream luxury. I wish they go back to more natural materials
It looks fantastic.
the back looks good. the front is a bit.. if they can make it looks more like the new A class that would've been nice
Raz, as much as I Enjoy your reviews, as much as I have enjoyed all my MB / AMG cars since 2009, you just can’t sell me this EQ or any of the line up.
They could have updated the MBUX to match the new one in the E-class
Why should it look like an old-fashioned S?
People don't realize but Mercedes and BMW are competing to see who can come up with the ugliest car 😂
It's amusing how, despite the lessons from the car tuning scene of the 2000s, Mercedes designers seem to equate elegance with covering a car in LED lights! 😂
The faux grille looks squashed, I'm not sure it looks better.
What’s the actual range not claimed range. My Tesla Model Y claimed a 530km range, actual range was 250kms+. I respect you but stop quoting your sponsor from Stuttgart 😅
The EQs actual get their quoted range.
@@Itskowo22 ?
I still dont like the car but I must say the new grille looks much better than before

With their price so high and depreciation huge they are a hard sell
I have an Idea.. traditionaly instead of writing how big the engine is on the back of the car ev manufacturers should write the range🤣
Love it!
bro can we get a garage update you have a cool collection
Interior crazy but outside is ❌
dont see the point of such expensive ev, to me something like a model 3 is just nice for everyday driving and the money can buy a fun ICE car
bigger bigger prius
The software used within the hyper screen looks very poor. Its like a old Windows PC from 1998.
The new front is a marginal improvement, but it’s still pig ugly. A new grille and the lovely interior can’t hide that it looks like a vast melted slug. I’m still baffled that Mercedes actually greenlit the design.
Still looks like a soap bar as you've described it before haha.

Could you had someone clean the tires 🛞?
What is a kilometer
10:22 Interior

Still 400v and not 300kw charging speed? 400v architecture is kept at no more then 250kw

S580e is way better choice in every level
Over 800km range? Did they test it rolling down a 600km hill?
You probably do 800km in summer in city driving, but then the Q is, why would you need 100+ k eur car for city trips :)
NO
Dear Mercedes, make the eqs to look like a normal Sclass. I could care less if it had half the range but look proper like a rolls Royce spectre. I don't know who told all manufacturers that electric cars need to look like an egg
