The upcoming 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS – which is effectively an all-electric alternative to the standard S-Class luxury sedan – has entered production at the brand’s high-tech Factory 56 in Sindelfingen, Germany.
EQS 580 4Matic guise, the sedan’s dual motors send 385kW/855Nm to the road. This allows for the benchmark 0-100km/h sprint to be completed in a claimed 4.3 seconds, on the way to a software-limited top speed of 210km/h. An even quicker AMG variant is also expected to follow.

Two lithium-ion battery packs are available, this offering 90kWh and 107.8kWh respectively. The larger of the two permits up to 770 kilometers between charges on the WLTP cycle (when fitted to the single-motor variant of the car), making it the second longest-range electric vehicle on the market (the yet-to-be-launched Tesla Model S Plaid Plus reportedly offers 837km).

The EQS is expected to arrive in Australian showrooms by December 2021. Local pricing will be confirmed closer to the launch date.

Mercedes EQS SUV on numerous occasions, but this is our first opportunity to check out the large electric vehicle with its final headlights and taillights. Adding even more versatility to the already practical EQS sedan (well, it's technically a liftback), the SUV version was caught undergoing testing in Germany ahead of its confirmed 2022 world premiere.

There are no interior spy shots in this fresh batch, but our previous encounter with the largest zero-emissions SUV from Mercedes revealed a prototype with its Hyperscreen setup that debuted on the EQS sedan. That's to be expected seeing as how this will literally be the SUV version of the sedan, similar to the relationship between the combustion-engined S-Class and GLS.

It will be built in the United States at the Tuscaloosa plant from 2022 along with the smaller EQE SUV. These two dedicated EVs will join the EQA, EQB, and EQC – all three based on platforms originally intended for ICE – in the company's all-electric SUV portfolio. The highlight of Mercedes' electric efforts will be the Vision EQXX, a concept car coming in 2022 with the promise to cover 1,000 kilometers (621 miles) between charges.

The EV onslaught is part of the three-pointed star's goal to offer an all-electric lineup by the end of the decade, "where market conditions allow." To get there, it will spend over €40 billion (about $47.3B) in battery electric vehicles until 2030, with the EQS sedan and SUV
