2024 MERCEDES-MAYBACH EQS NIGHT SERIES REVIEW: $205,000 ULTRA-LUXURY EV SUV

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV Night Series presents an ultra-luxury electric SUV experience, albeit with a significant caveat regarding its exterior styling, which the reviewer finds underwhelming for its $200,000+ price point. Despite this, the interior is lauded as "insane" and "opulent," featuring first-class amenities, exquisite materials like Flatwood trim, and advanced technology, particularly for rear passengers. The driving experience is highlighted as exceptionally smooth and quiet, offering a serene escape from the outside world, with strong acceleration from its 650 horsepower electric powertrain. However, the reviewer questions the value proposition due to the high cost and anticipated rapid depreciation, suggesting that while it rivals brands like Bentley in luxury and comfort, its styling and price may deter buyers, with many opting for the GLS or G-Wagon instead. The "Night Series" package, a $25,000 option, adds a distinctive all-black aesthetic.
