Mercedes EQS Updates

Thursday, 11 April 2024 12:06 PM The 2024 Mercedes EQS has been updated with a new braking system that includes advanced regenerative software, enhancing the brake feel and efficiency. This system also incorporates a feature to occasionally use friction braking to prevent disc wear. Additionally, the EQS now comes with a standard heat pump to efficiently heat the cabin, boosting range in colder conditions. I think this is a significant improvement for everyday driving.

Thursday, 11 April 2024 05:42 PM Mercedes has increased the battery capacity of the 2024 EQS from 108.4kWh to 118kWh, resulting in a maximum range of over 510 miles. This update, combined with stronger regenerative brakes and a new heat pump, makes the EQS one of the longest-range EVs available. The interior has also been enhanced with more comfortable rear seats and the standard MBUX Hyperscreen.

Wednesday, 20 March 2024 05:38 AM The 2024 Mercedes EQS features improved performance with the EQS450+ gaining 6 more horsepower and 2 more pound-feet of torque, and the EQS580 4Matic getting 20 more horsepower and 2 more pound-feet. These updates bring the peak outputs to 335 horsepower and 419 pound-feet for the EQS450+, and 536 horsepower and 633 pound-feet for the EQS580 4Matic. I believe these power boosts will make the EQS even more appealing to performance enthusiasts.

Friday, 15 March 2024 06:03 PM Mercedes has introduced a new radiator trim in chrome for the 2024 EQS, along with an upright three-pointed star on the bonnet, giving it a more classic look. This aesthetic change is part of a broader update that includes new tech features like automatic lane changing on dual carriageways and motorways.

Wednesday, 28 February 2024 04:50 PM The 2024 Mercedes EQS now comes with the MBUX Hyperscreen as standard on all models, which includes a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, a 17.7-inch central touchscreen, and a 12.3-inch passenger-side touchscreen. This extensive display system enhances the driving and passenger experience significantly. I think this is a great move to standardize such advanced tech across all trims.

Tuesday, 20 February 2024 04:11 PM Mercedes-Benz has announced that the 2024 EQS will be the first production car in the U.S. certified for Level 3 autonomous driving, specifically with the Drive Pilot system. This system allows drivers to focus on secondary tasks without regularly touching the steering wheel, though it is currently limited to speeds up to 40 mph and available only in California and Nevada.

Saturday, 10 February 2024 06:13 AM The 2024 Mercedes EQS has seen significant improvements in comfort, particularly for rear passengers. The standard rear seats can now recline between 27 and 36 degrees, and the Rear Comfort Package Plus offers a recline of up to 38 degrees along with a new slanted footrest. This makes the rear seating experience much more luxurious.

Thursday, 25 January 2024 07:34 PM Mercedes has enhanced the towing capacity of the 2024 EQS 4Matic, increasing it from 750kg to 1700kg. This change aligns with the capabilities of the EQS SUV and makes the EQS more versatile for those who need to tow. However, this will likely reduce the range, especially when towing near the maximum capacity.

Monday, 15 January 2024 01:56 PM The pricing for the 2024 Mercedes EQS remains unchanged despite the numerous updates, starting at $105,550 and going up to $136,650 depending on the trim and options. This makes the EQS a competitive option in the luxury EV market, offering a lot of standard features and advanced tech.

Wednesday, 20 December 2023 09:34 AM Mercedes-Benz has confirmed that the 2024 EQS will feature a new all-wheel-drive system with Intelligent Disconnect, which disengages the front motor to reduce powertrain drag and improve range. This, combined with the updated battery chemistry, is expected to enhance the overall efficiency and range of the vehicle.
