2023 MERCEDES EQS SUV 4MATIC 30,000 MILE REAL WORLD REVIEW

EV Channels Review

This 30,000-mile review of the 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQS 580 SUV highlights its exceptional luxury, comfort, and advanced technology, particularly for buyers seeking a premium experience at a significantly depreciated price point. The reviewer praises the plush interior, massaging seats, extensive screen real estate (including the MBUX system), and the overall Mercedes-Benz feel, comparing it favorably to an S-Class sedan. A key takeaway is the incredible value proposition, with the reviewer purchasing a nearly $144,000 sticker price vehicle for under $60,000, benefiting from a long-term certified pre-owned warranty. While the car's software is considered less intuitive than Tesla's or Rivian's, and the driver-assist system is deemed 'naggy' and inferior to Tesla's FSD, the reviewer emphasizes that the EQS excels in ride quality, quietness, and comfort. A significant drawback identified is the impact of aftermarket Continental tires on range, reducing estimated mileage considerably compared to the original equipment. Despite this, the reviewer highly recommends the EQS SUV for its luxury, comfort, and value, awarding it a perfect score.
