Extensive update: EQS now with an upright star and even more range

  • Even more status-conscious with new radiator trim with chrome applications and upright star

  • Even more suitable for long distances thanks to larger battery capacity

  • Even more seating comfort for the EQS: Rear Comfort Package Plus with executive seats

  • Even more versatile thanks to a trailer load of up to 1,700 kg for the 4MATIC versions

  • Even more exquisitely equipped with MANUFAKTUR Selection special edition

Since their launch, Mercedes‑Benz has continuously developed the EQS and its siblings. Independent of model updates and faster than ever before, innovations have been incorporated into the series for the EQS, EQE, EQS SUV and EQE SUV. The company has responded to market and customer feedback more quickly than ever before with numerous product upgrades. For the current change year 2024, the EQS is now receiving an extremely extensive update package. The electric flagship comes with up to 82 kilometres more range, a new radiator cover with chrome applications and an upright Mercedes star on the front hood as well as even more comfort in the rear.

The EQS was already one of the electric cars with the longest range. In the future, customers will be able to cover even more kilometres without stopping to charge. Thanks to an increased battery capacity from 108.4 to 118 kWh, the maximum range of the EQS 450 4MATIC (energy consumption combined: 20.9 – 17.0 kWh/100 km | CO₂ emissions combined: 0 g/km | CO₂ class: A)[1], for example, increases from 717 to 799 kilometres. This means an increase in range of more than 11 percent. With a range of 683‑822 kilometres, the EQS 450+ (energy consumption combined: 19.9 – 16.3 kWh/100 km | CO₂ emissions combined: 0 g/km | CO₂ class: A)1 even exceeds the 800-kilometre mark.

Avant-garde EQ look combined with the iconic Mercedes star: the new radiator cover

The distinguishing feature of the Mercedes‑EQ vehicles is the deep black radiator grille (black panel), which connects seamlessly with the headlights. The designers have now refined this independent face for the EQS: The electric flagship is equipped with a new radiator cover with chrome applications as standard in the Electric Art Line. Chrome-plated and flush-mounted slats create an elegant contrast to the deep black surroundings. This grille is combined with a standing star on the front hood and combines avant-garde EQ looks with the iconic, status-conscious Mercedes‑Benz symbol.

The sense of high-quality details is also reflected in the interior: the ventilation nozzles on the B-pillars now have a frame made of galvanised chrome. The additional cushion in the rear is enhanced by piping made of Nappa leather.

Did you know, that …

  • ... the MBUX Hyperscreen is now standard on the EQS? There, three displays merge almost seamlessly into one another, creating a screen strip that is over 141 centimetres wide.

  • ... the now standard heat pump increases climate comfort and efficiency? The waste heat from the electric drive (inverter and electric motor) and the high-voltage battery can be used to heat the interior. This enormously reduces the need for battery power for the heater and increases the range.

  • ... the so-called Disconnect Unit (DCU) in the 4MATIC models automatically decouples the electric motor on the front axle depending on the driving situation and the required performance? At low loads, the DCU switches to 4x2 driving mode. Then the electric motor and the transmission on the front axle come to a standstill. This increases the range.

  • ... the recuperation level of the EQS has been increased? The greater deceleration (up to 3 m/s2) means more energy recovered and therefore a longer range. Mercedes‑Benz has now also optimised the braking system: It offers a better pedal feel thanks to a modified brake force cylinder.

  • ... many updates to the EQS were made using over-the-air technology (OTA)? These include, for example, DolbyÒ Atmos, the YouTube web app and a digital travel guide.

  • ... the EQS can be easily started and locked with the KEYLESS-GO comfort package with preparation for the Digital Vehicle Key[5] (standard equipment) if the driver has a compatible device[6]? Key sharing is also possible: family members or acquaintances can be digitally invited to use the vehicle.

  • ... the drivers of an EQS and EQS SUV can get free electricity from the IONITY charging stations for a year? This applies from activation of IONITY Unlimited via Mercedes me Charge[7]. In total, Mercedes me Charge brings together more than 1.5 million charging points from over 1,300 charging providers worldwide, making it currently one of the largest public charging networks in the world.
