EQS SUV review: we drive the electric S-class SUV
Is it one of theyou can buy in 2023? That goes without saying. But is it a true representation of Mercedes luxury, and is it any better than its limousine-shaped cousin? We’ve driven both the 536bhp Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV 580 4Matic and lesser powered 450 model to find out.You won’t mistake this for anything but an electric Mercedes: its smooth grille replacing historical air intakes, soap-bar aero bodywork and brand familiarity. It looks good, inside and out.
Air suspension and rear-wheel steering are part of the package, but note that the pop-up third row of seats, which shrinks the luggage space to a token 195 litres, is an option. With only the first row of seats upright, boot space is a colossal 2100 litres. A harder ride is a caveat of most EVs right now, but the BMW iX somehow navigates the extra weight whilst still providing a slightly more refined ride. Much like the iX, though, the EQS SUV sidesteps a lot of the excessive roll, yaw or pitch you’d expect from a car this size.
