EQS (V297) [Official] Mercedes-Benz EQS

[Rolf]

The EQS has its moments, but overall, its design is just nowhere near as desirable as an S-class. Hopefully the next EQS will become an S-class and not in the mold of the current EQS.

Totally agree and wish the same

And if it's the other way around?

Hopefully they would go back to the saloon shape like the S-class, like this render.

The EQC grill does look a whole lot better than the current ugly flat black plastic EQ grills.

Yes better, but generic and seen by several brands, I think the S class deserves more creativity, in the render you can see how the category would lower it.

I suppose that these years will serve for Wagonner to reflect on the damage caused to my eyes and will make something memorable between both models.

While the S-Class sales are steady, the current EQ-range is such a massive fail. Damn.

Mercedes Slashes EV Prices By Up To $33,000 In China To Combat Slow Sales | Carscoops

The EQS received a brave discount of $33k after selling just 100 units per month

I was personally surprised at the EQS debut that the rear cabin was compromised to the extent that it is. Not really a problem in other markets but we've known forever that China values the rear cabin experience above all. The lack of interest due to that shouldn't be a surprise. This is precisely why the 7-series is going to be such a hit in China.

It'll be very interesting to see if the EQ sedans have a short lifecycle as a result of the Chinese market.

What about 'Murica? Is the EQS a sales flop over there?

Flop? No, sales have been fairly consistent over the last year (~600-700 units per month) although last quarter saw some delivery hiccups and was sightly lower.

Euro sales have been consistent as well.

EQE has just been launched in China. How is it possible to detect sales failure?

 

[BMW3GT]

They only sold less than 700 EQE in China which is close to nothing.

The E-Class delivered a healthy four digit sales number when being released.

So yes - fair to say it's going to form part in a low sales rank just like its EQ siblings.

They’re just not appealing cars. Mercedes design used to be the epitome of good taste and restraint.

Serves them right. They were overly focused on aerodynamics. The Taycan proves people will at this time still accept less range fore a genuinely good looking vehicle.

Yet it doesn’t seem the styling is the real issue here. The sales are fine everywhere but China, where the back seat seems to be a major barrier. Not that more conventional styling wouldn’t have been welcome…

The looks aren’t helping.

Do you think this price reduction in China would hurt the sales in the US and Europe. It should have a strong psychological effect on all the potential customers, in case no price reduction is applied also on these two markets.

A small amount of people in the U.S. and Europe will become aware of a price reduction on the EQS in China and an even smaller amount will care.

They sold <14k globally in 3 quarters vs stated annual goal of 50k. Yes it is a big sales flop by any standard. Just because it is consistently selling low doesn't make it a success.

In fact, especially on the US market, its sales numbers are not far away from those of the S class. And the current S class is considered a huge success (obviously determined by the Chinese market). I don't believe they have planned bigger sales numbers for the US and Europe also. But this was its first year on these markets with the novelty effect and close to "0" competition. Now it will face three hurdles 1) It's not a novelty anymore 2) A very strong competitor in the face of the i7 has occured 3) The price drop in China shows that this car is not worth the money, Mercedes is asking for it.
