What is the EQS 450 4Matic’s tech like in the daily grind?

At first the tech is mind blowing, but then you realize you only use about 20% of it regularly. Hyperscreen is cool, but it’s distracting.

I love it! Surprisingly the voice commands work well, and the augmented reality navigation is actually useful. It makes other cars look dated.

It's a bit of a mixed bag. Some of the features are great, like the driver assistance bit, but some of it is gimmicky. I've had a few glitches that required system restarts and I've even had a few BSOD's.

It’s impressive tech, but it’s definitely a learning curve. I got a couple of weeks to feel comfortable with all the features. Now I love it, though.

It's overkill for me. It's easier, so I find myself using CarPlay most of the time. The cool thing about the Mercedes specific features is that you can show them off, but they aren’t that practical.

The tech is good but the updates are annoying. Every other week there's a new software update that takes forever to install.

Most of it is pretty intuitive, I'm impressed. The Hyperscreen is overwhelming at first, but once you use it for a bit, the layout actually does make sense.

The tech is great when it works but I have had a few where things like parking assist simply refused to work. Such an expensive car can be very frustrating.

I believe it’s a good balance. Other EVs feel like a computer on wheels, but this is high tech without it. But it still feels like a luxury car first.
How does the Mercedes EQS 450 4Matic fair in the real world compared to the German manufacturer's claimed range?
15 January 2025 09:05
So far, I’ve had a pretty close range experience to what Mercedes claims, more specifically during highway trips. Over 350 miles on a single charge I’ve gotten several times.
How does the Mercedes EQS 450 4Matic fair in the real world compared to the German manufacturer's claimed range?
15 January 2025 09:05
It's hit or miss. In ideal conditions, you can get pretty close to the advertised range, for sure. However, it plummets when you add in some cold weather or heavy AC use. Though, still better than most EVs.
How does the Mercedes EQS 450 4Matic fair in the real world compared to the German manufacturer's claimed range?
15 January 2025 09:05
In the real world, I've found the range to be about 10 to 15 percent less than advertised. It’s not terrible, but it’s a bit disappointing for such an expensive car.

Road trips are great, but city driving seems to burn the battery up quicker than expected. I think that's the weight of the car coming through.
How does the Mercedes EQS 450 4Matic fair in the real world compared to the German manufacturer's claimed range?
15 January 2025 09:05
Haha it really depends on how you drive. When you're gentle with the accelerator and use the regen braking effectively you can actually get more range than the claimed range. Drive it like a typical Mercedes though, and you will come short.
How does the Mercedes EQS 450 4Matic fair in the real world compared to the German manufacturer's claimed range?

It has good range, but what’s more impressive is how consistent it is. The EQS doesn’t seem to lose as much range in cold weather, unlike some other EVs.
How does the Mercedes EQS 450 4Matic fair in the real world compared to the German manufacturer's claimed range?

The range has been a pleasant surprise. With the 4Matic system, which you'd imagine would lower efficiency, I'm getting numbers that are just a hair off of what Mercedes promises.
How does the EQS 450 4Matic ride compared to the traditional S-Class?
15 January 2025 09:05
The EQS ride is beyond smooth. I'm floating on a cloud. I don't think there's any engine vibration at all, and I think it's even better than the S-Class.
How does the EQS 450 4Matic ride compared to the traditional S-Class?
15 January 2025 09:05
I still prefer the S Class but it’s close. On the highway, the EQS is super quiet, but it feels less planted due to, I think, weight distribution.
How does the EQS 450 4Matic ride compared to the traditional S-Class?
15 January 2025 09:05
The smooths are different kinds. There’s a more futuristic, glidier EQS and a more traditional, solid Mercedes S Class. Both great, just different.
How does the EQS 450 4Matic ride compared to the traditional S-Class?

I was skeptical, but the EQS did win me over. An incredibly smooth ride, no gear changes, and the instant torque means it's great in stop and go traffic.
