EV Channels Review
The 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS 580 is presented as the electric S-Class, aiming for ultimate comfort and luxury. The reviewer highlights the car's stunning ambient lighting, which creates an unmatched interior ambiance, especially at night. The spacious interior, particularly the hatchback design, and the advanced rear-seat tablet are noted as positives. However, significant ergonomic issues are raised, including a low roofline that compromises headroom and a dashboard/steering wheel position that makes the driver feel like they're sitting too low, hindering visibility. The brake pedal feel is described as "less than great," though one-pedal driving is effective. While the car offers a serene driving experience and impressive acceleration with its 516 horsepower, the reviewer expresses disappointment that it doesn't quite reach the comfort levels of the gasoline S-Class. The video also touches upon the controversial "egg-like" exterior design and the broader implications of EVs in rust-prone climates.
