About the 2024 Mercedes-Benz AMG EQS
1st generation (introduced for 2022), third model year; major efficiency, rear-seat comfort, and standard-equipment update
Mercedes-AMG positioned the AMG EQS as its first fully electric performance-luxury sedan. It combines the quiet, spacious, technology-focused character of the EQS with substantially stronger acceleration, variable AWD, adaptive air suspension, rear-wheel steering, and AMG driving controls. Its core appeal is effortless high-speed performance without giving up long-distance comfort, rear-seat usability, or the large-screen cabin experience expected from Mercedes’ top electric sedan.
The 2024 AMG EQS is positioned as an electric performance-luxury sedan, with two AMG-tuned motors producing 649 hp and a temporary boost to 751 hp. Its performance hardware includes variable AWD, adaptive air suspension, and 9-degree rear-wheel steering, while the cabin features massaging front seats and a wide three-screen dashboard with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
