I DRIVE THE MERCEDES EQS SUV FOR THE FIRST TIME!

EV Channels Review

The Mercedes EQS SUV offers an unparalleled level of comfort and quietness, surpassing even the EQS sedan and setting a new benchmark for luxury electric vehicles. While the 450+ RWD is noted as smooth and comfortable for urban use, the reviewer strongly recommends the 450 4MATIC for its balanced performance and AWD capability. The 580 4MATIC delivers immense power and acceleration, making it ideal for quickly reaching destinations like mountain cabins. However, its considerable weight and soft suspension mean it's not a performance car for spirited canyon carving. A significant drawback for enthusiastic drivers is the brake pedal feel, which is described as mushy and inconsistent, particularly when pushing the vehicle hard. Despite this, the EQS SUV excels as a supremely comfortable, quiet, and well-engineered family transporter, offering a luxurious experience that significantly outperforms competitors like the Tesla Model X in build quality and refinement, though the charging network remains a consideration.
