Mercedes is giving the EQS a nip and tuck for the 2025 model year. In doing so, the company infuses some S-Class cues into its flagship electric car. The styling changes are limited to the front fascia where the BMW i7 rival receives a redesigned faux grille with horizontal chrome slats to mimic the company's range-topping combustion car.
The standing star is also new and echoes the hood ornament of the traditional S-Class. Going forward, the EQS will have the AMG Line front bumper standard. Since this is only a facelift, the controversial egg-like shape remains. Even with this update though, the EQS doesn't look as imposing as the venerable S-Class.
Within the discreetly revised body is an upgraded battery with a usable capacity of 118.0 kilowatt-hours instead of the previous 108.4 kilowatt-hours. That should unlock a bit more range compared to the 2024 EQS, which the EPA has rated at 352 miles for the rear-wheel-drive EQS 450+. The all-wheel-drive EQS 450 and 580 models do 345 miles on a single charge. The least efficient of the lot is the AMG EQS, at only 305 miles.
