Mercedes EQS SUV 450+ | SUV Senses Electrified
The Mercedes EQS SUV 450+, the latest addition to Mercedes-Benz’ line-up of full-electric vehicles. I can already say, it wasn’t love at first sight but driving this car made it a lot better. Join me as I delve into the world of the Mercedes EQS SUV 450+, where electrification meets elegance, and let’s check out whether the message on the license plate says it all or not!
Futuristic looking SUV
So let's take a closer look at what this SUV has to offer. Starting at the front, we see that the EQS SUV has a sleek and aerodynamic design with a bold, striking grille. The slim, sculpted digital headlights give it a sophisticated look. A fun fact, The Digital Lights work in the same way as a beamer. The high-resolution light reacts as soon as traffic, lane, or weather conditions change. When you look at the long hood it gives the car a muscular and dominant appearance, making it look like a true powerhouse on the road. Also, something eye-catching on the front is the continuous LED-strip. I’m not a big fan of those LED-strips on the front in general with any brand. It just reminds me of a Uni-Brow, once you see it you cannot unsee it anymore.
Moving on to the side of the car, we can see some elegant lines that give it a streamlined appearance and a seamless and dynamic flow from front to rear. The sleek roofline gracefully slopes towards the rear, creating a coupe-like silhouette that gives it a sense of sportiness and modernity. The 20” 10-Spoke alloy wheels are stylish and perfectly complement the car's overall design. To ensure you can get in comfortably from both the front and rear, the side can be upgraded with Illuminated running boards.
On this car, we’ll see a lot of chrome details, an old-fashioned thing but in some way, it still gives the EQS SUV a luxurious finishing touch, especially in combination with the Selenite Grey exterior color. The last highlights on the side profile are the door handles which will automatically pop out when you’re close enough and the EQS badge next to the side mirrors which is a cool feature!
The rear of the EQS SUV 450+ leaves a lasting impression with the stylish 3D-helix LED taillights extending across the width of the vehicle. They form a cohesive and eye-catching rear lighting signature. The large tailgate makes accessing the spacious cargo area of 645l easy, and the EQS 450+ badge is a perfect finishing touch. The Mercedes EQS SUV 450+ isn’t a visual masterpiece, but its seamless boldness, elegance, and futuristic design make it a good-looking car.
The Electrified SUV
When entering the Mercedes EQS SUV 450+ you’ll see that the interior is a luxurious and innovative space showcasing the latest automotive technology. It features high-quality materials and finishes, ensuring a comfortable and elegant driving experience for all occupants. The centerpiece of the interior would be the MBUX Hyperscreen, which spans the entire dashboard and provides a seamless, intuitive interface for controlling various functions. But sadly enough this car didn't get that Hyperscreen, the screen you see in the pictures is the MBUX High-end display. Being the “standard” screen it’s still an awesome 12.8" OLED display which is customizable, and drivers can personalize their display and car to suit their preferences. Also right in front of you, you will see the beautiful 3D-Cluster with various layouts.
The seats are upholstered in premium leather, and the front seats are heated and ventilated. The rear seats offer plenty of legroom, making it comfortable for passengers to stretch out during long journeys. There’s room for up to seven occupants with an optional third row of seats. The EASY ENTRY function ensures that getting in and out is relaxed.
Driving this car at night is a whole experience in itself and something Mercedes-Benz is known for, the Ambient Interior Lightning. It’s designed to enhance the overall ambiance and create a visually appealing and customizable lighting environment within the car's cabin. The Ambient Lighting system utilizes a combination of LED lights strategically placed throughout the interior such as in the footwells, on the door panels, center console, and dashboard.
The next interior feature is the Emotional Sound Experience, you can enjoy premium audio during the ride. The different sound compartments can also be individually adjusted in combination with the Burmester® surround sound system. Also, the driving sound adapts to the individual driving style and interaction. This sound system is really impressive, featuring 15 speakers and with the help of a 710-watt amplifier, it will deliver crystal-clear sound quality throughout the cabin.
Other notable features of the Mercedes EQS SUV 450+ 2023 include a head-up display, a panoramic sunroof, and a suite of advanced driver assistance features, including a 360° Camera, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane assist, and even Memory/Remote Park Assist. Overall, the interior of the Mercedes EQS SUV 2023 is a spacious, comfortable, and high-tech space that offers an unparalleled driving experience. The cutting-edge technology and premium materials make this car stand out in its class and a must-see for anyone in the market for a luxury SUV.
Electric SUV Senses
The Mercedes EQS SUV 2023 is a marvel of engineering, offering a smooth and comfortable driving experience, thanks to its advanced electric powertrain. Its RWD electric motor delivers an output of 360 horsepower and an impressive 568 Nm of torque, providing ample power for quick acceleration and effortless cruising on the highway. With its 2.620 kg it will sprint from 0-100 in 6.7 seconds with a maximum speed of 210 km/h, which is great!
The car is equipped with a 108.4 kWh battery pack, which provides an estimated range of up to 633 kilometers (WLTP) on a single charge with a consumption of 19,5 kWh/100km. This impressive range is thanks to its advanced battery management system and regenerative braking, which helps to maximize the electric powertrain's efficiency.
The car's handling is responsive and precise, thanks to its advanced suspension system, which includes air suspension and adaptive damping. Also the rear-axle steering adjusts the steering angle by up to 10°, which significantly reduces the turning radius. During maneuvering, your car is just as maneuverable as a compact car. At higher speeds, you enjoy the unsurpassed handling that a long wheelbase brings. This combination provides a smooth and comfortable ride, even on rough or uneven roads.
