This is the 2023 Model Year EQS SUV 450 4MATIC Release Edition. The exterior is a blend of understated elegance and aerodynamics, with sleek lines and a minimalist design. The EQS SUV is a substantial car, measuring 512.5 cm in the length and has a weight of 2800 kg.

It has 360 HP and a top speed of 210 km/h. 0-100 takes 5.72 sec (my test result). I tested the consumption to be 21.9kWh-22.2 kWh/100 km and the range is approx. 475-495 km in real life, helped by a massive 108.4 kWh battery.

Charging 10-80% takes 30 mins (my test result) and the charging curve is impressive with a peak of 205 kW. Inside the EQS luxury meets technology. The interior is a symphony of mostly premium materials, cutting-edge technology, and thoughtful design. But also with some rather cheap plastic parts.

The Hyperscreen is fantastic, simply the wowest of all wow-factors, seamlessly integrating an OLED central display, a digital instrument cluster, and a head-up display. It's an automotive work of art, offering an intuitive user experience that redefines the way we interact with our cars.

The EQS offers enormous space and comfortable seating for 5 with a 7-seat option. Cargo space is generous or even enormous, too, thanks to a well-thought-out design that doesn't compromise on practicality.

A great family car which comes with a hefty price tag of 192,000 CHF, as tested. The EQS SUV range starts at 138,600 CHF (in CH only four wheel drive models are available, other markets also have a cheaper version with rear wheel drive).

Filmed in Switzerland in September, 2023 and produced by DNTS Productions.
