2027 Model Redesign Year

The all-electric, ultra-luxury EQS sedan has undergone a major update for 2027. The biggest change is the option to choose a steer-by-wire system that uses sensors, motors, and software to turn all four wheels using a flat-topped yoke. A traditional steering setup with a round wheel comes standard. An updated, more efficient, and faster-charging electric drivetrain promises up to 480 miles between charges. 4Matic models have all-wheel drive thanks to dual electric motors. A modest exterior redesign adds a multitude of three-pointed stars on the grille.

The 55-inch display that spans the entire dashboard gets a new operating system. Options include automated steering assistance that can swerve around an obstacle to prevent a crash, heated front seat belts, and parking assistance cameras that can help keep drivers from scratching the wheels.

2026

2022 Model Redesign Year

For 2025 the EQS all-electric ultraluxury sedan has received numerous updates, including a larger battery with a claimed longer driving range. The EQS 580 sedan we tested is super-quick and very quiet, rides comfortably, and handles with agility, thanks to the standard four-wheel-steering system. The brakes feel disconcertingly spongy, and the pedal eerily moves on its own during aggressive regenerative braking. The rear-drive 450+ models have a single electric motor, and the 580 4Matic has a motor on each axle, giving it all-wheel drive. We got 380 miles in our 70-mph highway-range test. The driving position is compromised due to the high-mounted instrument panel, and the rear seat isn't as spacious as the car's size would indicate.

The controls look impressive but are distracting to use.

2022-Present

2022 Model Redesign Year

The EQS, a large luxury all-electric sedan, is loosely based on the redesigned Mercedes-Benz S-Class and becomes the company's new flagship. It is available in two powertrains, the rear-wheel-drive 450+ with an electric motor that cranks out 329 hp, and the high-end 580 4MATIC that outputs 516 hp through a motor on each axle. Both versions have a 108-kWh battery pack and an EPA estimated range of 350 miles for the rear-wheel drive, and 340 miles for the all-wheel drive. The massive MBUX infotainment system uses three screens and comes with all the latest technology and features. In addition to standard active safety features such as AEB, BSW, and rear cross traffic assist, the EQS goes further to predict imminent collision by using systems which will inflate the seat's side bolster to move the driver or passenger a few extra inches away from the point of an impending impact. Changes for 2025 include a larger battery aimed at extending the driving range and a new regenerative braking system. All versions get a standard center airbag between the front seats. Updates for 2026 include a standard NACS DC fast charging adapter.
