2023 Mercedes-Benz AMG EQS: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The main change for the 2023 Mercedes-Benz AMG EQS is its trim lineup: the prior AMG EQS 53 4MATIC+ was dropped and a Sedan trim joined. Beyond that, this is a quiet carryover year with no significant mechanical, styling, safety, or cabin-tech updates.
About the 2023 Mercedes-Benz AMG EQS
1st generation (V297), second US model year; before the 2024 efficiency and rear-seat update
The AMG EQS is the high-performance version of Mercedes-Benz’s large electric luxury sedan. It combines the quiet, spacious, technology-heavy character of the EQS with stronger dual electric motors, performance-focused all-wheel drive, firmer adaptive suspension tuning, and AMG driving modes. Its core appeal is rapid acceleration without giving up a smooth ride, premium seating, advanced driver assistance, or the large hatchback-style cargo area.
Mercedes-AMG positioned the 2023 AMG EQS Sedan as the performance-focused version of its electric luxury flagship. Its dual motors produce 649 hp, while all-wheel drive, adaptive air suspension, and rear-axle steering help manage that power. Inside, three dashboard displays sit alongside heated, ventilated, massaging front seats and a broad driver-assistance suite.
