MERCEDES EQS 450 - WINTER TEST & CHARGING SPEED TEST OF THE 108 KWH BATTERY WITH RWD!

EV Channels Review

The Mercedes EQS 450 RWD presents a compelling, albeit expensive, electric luxury sedan option. The reviewer highlights its impressive charging speed, achieving 80% in just over 30 minutes even in winter conditions, and praises the advanced MBUX Hyperscreen and ambient lighting for creating a futuristic interior ambiance. The rear-axle steering is lauded for significantly enhancing agility, making the large vehicle feel surprisingly nimble. However, the reviewer notes significant drawbacks, including a substantial drop in winter range (430 km vs. 600 km in summer) and expresses dissatisfaction with the seat ergonomics, finding them less comfortable than expected for a vehicle in this price bracket. The reviewer also points out the impracticality of bright floor mats in winter and the lack of an animal-free interior option in some markets. Ultimately, the RWD 450 is recommended over the 580 AWD for those prioritizing driving fun over all-wheel drive traction, especially outside of extreme winter climates.
