About the 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQS
1st generation (introduced for 2022), fourth model year and mid-cycle update
Mercedes-Benz positions the EQS Sedan as its electric luxury flagship: a quiet, long-range alternative to a traditional large luxury sedan, built around passenger comfort, smooth power and extensive cabin technology. Its dedicated EV shape emphasizes aerodynamic efficiency and hatchback-like cargo access, while adaptive air suspension and rear-wheel steering help it ride comfortably and maneuver like a smaller car. The dashboard-spanning display system and rear-seat accommodations are central differentiators.
The EQS 450+ is the range-focused rear-wheel-drive version, while the EQS 450 4MATIC adds all-wheel-drive traction and the EQS 580 4MATIC brings 536 horsepower, Nappa leather, and massaging front seats. Every version has air suspension, rear-wheel steering, a dashboard-spanning three-display system, and soft-close doors. The cabin remains focused on quiet comfort, with heated power-adjustable rear seats and a panoramic glass roof.
