Our ride in the seven-seat Mercedes-Benz EQS prototype showed the likes of the BMW iX and Tesla Model X should prepare for some stiff competition
Characteristic exterior cues such as the black panel grille, fixed clamshell bonnet and a window bottle port within the front left hand flank provide direct design links to the upmarket five-door liftback-cum-saloon. It does include new elements, though, including running boards underneath its big doors, which unlike the openings of the EQS and EQE feature a framed design.
Inside, there is a high set dashboard offering the same choice of either separate instrument and infotainment displays or an integral Hyperscreen unit that stretches the width of the dashboard. You sit 80mm higher than in the EQS saloon, with a very commanding view forward within a generously dimensioned and fittingly upmarket cabin with outstanding legroom for second seat row occupants.
With its large battery mounted within its platform, the EQS SUV also corners in a very lively manner, changing directly very smartly and with great response for such a large car with raised ride height and such a heavy battery.
