WORLD’S BEST LUXURY EV? MERCEDES EQS 580 AWD DRIVING FULL REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Mercedes EQS 580 AWD is presented as a potential contender for the "world's best luxury EV," aiming to end range anxiety. The reviewer highlights its exceptional aerodynamic design, contributing significantly to its range capabilities. The interior is praised for its comfort and the optional MBUX Hyperscreen, though the reviewer notes the extensive digitalization can be overwhelming and less intuitive than physical controls. Driving dynamics are lauded, with the air suspension providing a smooth, quiet ride, and the rear-axle steering enhancing agility despite the car's size. Acceleration is described as "super quick" and the noise insulation is superb. However, the reviewer expresses significant reservations about the software interface, finding it cluttered and distracting, and criticizes the reliance on capacitive buttons. Real-world range appears to be a strong point, with the reviewer suggesting it can indeed approach the official figures (around 630-650 km or 390 miles) under favorable conditions, though initial consumption figures were higher. The night-time ambiance, particularly the ambient lighting, is singled out as a spectacular and mood-enhancing feature.
