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.

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.

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.

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.

The smooths are different kinds. There’s a more futuristic, glidier EQS and a more traditional, solid Mercedes S Class. Both great, just different.

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.

On smooth roads the EQS is amazing, but I think the S Class deals with bumps and potholes better. Perhaps it’s the extra weight of the batteries.

It's a toss-up. But the S-Class feels more substantive and the EQS is quieter. I believe it is down to personal preference.

Next level ride quality in the EQS. That's not just about smoothness, but how it marries that with the instant responsiveness of the electric motor. It's a new kind of luxury.
The EQS 450 4Matic's exterior design grows on you over time, but is it a deal-breaker?
15 January 2025 09:05
It definitely grows on you. I thought it was a blob at first, but I love the sleekness now. It's all about aerodynamics and once you get that it all makes sense.

15 January 2025 09:05
Still nope, still can't get over it. To me it looks like a melted S Class. I can understand the aero thing but Mercedes could have made it look a bit more unique.

I liked it from the start, actually. It’s futuristic and not like any car out on the streets. The smooth EQS is a welcome sight in a sea of aggressive looking SUVs.

It's a grower, not a shower. I think it looks much better in person and in motion than in photos. And the interior is so nice you forget about the exterior while driving it.

That’s a polarizing design, but I think that’s the point. It's supposed to look different and mean the move to EVs. It’s successful in that sense, even though it’s not conventionally beautiful.
The EQS 450 4Matic's exterior design grows on you over time, but is it a deal-breaker?
15 January 2025 09:05
I'm still on the fence. For some angles it looks great, for others not so much. I will say, however, that it does look better in darker colors that hide some of those bulbous shapes.

15 January 2025 09:05
I still think the front end is too plain, but it's grown on me. From the front it could have looked like a proper Mercedes.
Is the Mercedes EQS 450 4Matic worth the big money?
15 January 2025 09:05
Absolutely worth it! Essentially, the EQS is driving the future. The tech inside is mind blowing, but that silent, smooth ride is unmatched. It’s expensive, but you get Mercedes quality and cutting edge EV tech.
