Normally we are a big fan of dark headlining, but with the EQS we would consider taking a lighter covering to make it look a bit bigger. People of two meters will probably get into trouble. The rear seat also has a deep seat, which provides more than enough legroom and quite a bit of headroom. The front seats can be set quite low and in the front you will not quickly lack headroom. As a result, the electric sedan feels a bit cramped on the inside.

You notice that: the windscreen is quite flat and the roof is quite low. Mercedes went quite far: the EQS is the most aerodynamic production car in the world. They are lower and lighter, so you have more favorable air resistance and a greater range. Couldn’t they have made an SUV better?Įlectric variants of the GLS or the G-class will undoubtedly come in the future, but a sedan is the smartest move as far as we’re concerned. Think of it as the electric counterpart of the Mercedes S-class. In addition, this is the flagship the largest and fattest electric car the brand currently offers. The other EVs share their chassis with petrol variants. The Mercedes EQS is certainly not the first electric Mercedes, but it is the first to be on this new electric platform. Weather conditions: cold, fairly dry Wow, is this the Mercedes of the future? Performance: 580 4Matic AMG Line (not pictured)
