MSRP: $105,250Use the table of contents to jump to a sectionOverviewThe 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV is a midsize electric luxury SUV available in either a 5-seater 2-row or 7-seater 3-row configuration. Three powertrain variations are on offer: the 355-hp RWD EQS 450+ with 323 miles of range, the 355-hp EQS 4Matic with 312 miles of range, and the 536-hp EQS 580 4Matic with 317 miles of range. They all use the same 118-kWh battery that can be DC fast-charged at up to 200 kW.AdvertisementAdvertisementAll trims boast the full-width 56-inch Hyperscreen interior display, 4-zone climate control, soft-close doors, and rear-wheel steering. The EQS SUV is meant for people who want a technologically advanced luxury electric SUV with genuine Mercedes craftsmanship and more than 300 miles of range. Its rivals include the Cadillac Vistiq, Lucid Gravity, and Volvo EX90.What's New for 2025?Every 2025 EQS SUV trim gets the Automatic Comfort Door package with automatic powered soft-closing doors, as well as front headrest cushions, updated cabin trim, 4-zone climate control, and a center airbag between the front seats. An Energizing Air Control Plus HEPA cabin filtration system is added to the Exclusive and Pinnacle trims. A new design of 22-inch AMG alloy wheel is added to the option list, while the Manufaktur palette gains a new metallic white paint color. The 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV's price starts at just over $105K.ExteriorThe EQS SUV's translation of the somewhat formless EQS sedan's design into an SUV has been met with mixed emotions, but it's certainly aerodynamically efficient. You get all-LED lighting with front and rear light bars, a sealed grille panel, and flush door handles. All trims run on 21-inch wheels, which can be upspecced to 22s. At nearly 202 inches long on a 126-inch wheelbase, the EQS lands at the upper end of the midsize segment, despite the suggestion of a full-size "S-Class" vehicle.MercedesView the 3 images of this gallery on the original articleInteriorThe huge 56-inch Hyperscreen is made up of a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, a 17.7-inch center touchscreen, and a 12.3-inch passenger display, all under one huge pillar-to-pillar glass pane that represents overkill to most eyes, but it's impressive nonetheless. Features include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, AR navigation, biometric authentication, and a 15-speaker Burmester 3D audio system with 710 watts and Dolby Atmos. Wi-Fi and a head-up display are optional.AdvertisementAdvertisementStandard cabin features include leather upholstery, heated power front and second-row seats, ventilated front seats, 64-color ambient lighting, 4-zone climate control, a panoramic roof, and power soft-close doors. Massaging front seats and third-row seats with climate control and seat heating cost extra.MercedesView the 3 images of this gallery on the original articlePrice Range and Best Value TrimThe $105,250 450+ offers the longest range of 323 miles, but upgrading to the AWD 450 4Matic costs only $3,000 and 11 miles of range.ModelPriceBase: EQS 450+ (RWD)$105,250Top: EQS 580 4Matic Pinnacle$133,750Best Value: EQS 450 4Matic$108,250Key SpecsPowertrainModelHPTorqueDrive0-60EQS 450+355 hp419 lb-ftRWD6.5 secEQS 450 4Matic355 hp590 lb-ftAWD5.9 secEQS 580 4Matic536 hp633 lb-ftAWD4.6 secEfficiencyModelCityHighwayCombinedRangeEQS 450+84 MPGe79 MPGe82 MPGe323 miEQS 580 4Matic82 MPGe78 MPGe80 MPGe317 miEQS 450 4Matic80 MPGe78 MPGe79 MPGe312 miBattery: 118 kWhDC fast-charging: up to 200 kW (10-80% in ~31 min)Seating: 5 (optional 7)Cargo capacity: 23 - 74 cu-ft WarrantyCoverageTermBasic4 years / 50,000 milesPowertrain4 years / 50,000 milesBattery10 years / 155,000 milesComplimentary MaintenanceNot includedPros and ConsPros:AdvertisementAdvertisementStandard 56-inch Hyperscreen with three displays creates the most visually stunning and technologically advanced dashboard in any production SUVAll variants exceed 300 miles of EPA range, and real-world testing recorded over 400 miles on a single charge with the 450+, far exceeding the EPA estimateStandard rear-wheel steering and a 10-year/155,000-mile battery warranty add substantial ownership value, but complimentary maintenance is absentCons:Starting above $105,000 makes the EQS SUV significantly more expensive than the BMW iX, Tesla Model X, and Cadillac Vistiq, all of which offer strong competition for lessAcceleration in the base 450+ (6.5-sec 0-60) is slow by luxury EV standards, trailing the BMW iX and Tesla Model X by considerable marginsThe optional third row is cramped and suitable only for children, limiting the seven-seat configuration's practical appealVerdictThe Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV is the most luxurious electric SUV you can buy, with that segment-busting Hyperscreen, leather cabin, pillow-soft ride, and self-closing doors. Its real-world range exceeds its EPA claims, proving the big battery delivers. The 450 4Matic makes the most sense for its all-weather grip at a modest premium, but acceleration is quite sedate for such an expensive car, so it's more about luxury and comfort than performance, and that should suit the typical clientele well.MercedesCompetitorsLucid GravityCadillac VistiqPorsche Cayenne ElectricTesla Model XVolvo EX90Shop the Car MarketplaceView the original article to see embedded media.AdvertisementAdvertisementThis story was originally published by Autoblog on Jun 5, 2026, where it first appeared in the Cars section.
