EQS [Official] Mercedes-Benz EQS

[AbsoluteUnit]

Really is a rather bulbous car.
The mid-cycle refresh needs to be a complete redesign to be honest.

Interesting comparison with EQE and EQS.

Would you believe that this tester is 2m tall but he said the EQS has not extra space advantage over the EQE except the boot which is much more larger and practical been a hatch.

He said there is not much of a difference between the EQS and EQE compared to the difference between the E-class and S-class.

Both cars are very comfortable and quite and chassis well balanced.

Discounts on leftover 2023 EQ’s are so extreme in some cases in the US that you can almost walk into a dealership and name your price if you can stomach the design.

A $20k or more discount can be negotiated with ease.

An example

Honestly $20k off puts it at the price point it should’ve been to start. Interestingly enough, it’s not that hard to get close to that level of discount on other luxury cars. The market has softened quite a bit.

Global recession, either you lower your price, or you eat shit

I'm curious if any of you have any deeper information, but I talked to clients at work who told me that Mercedes has a lot of pressure on electric cars that are not going.
They sell cars at the lowest margin just to sell because there is very little interest.

The shell! the shell! not the platform

I would rather they just binned it and waited for MB.EA tbh, but it is what it is.

I'm a bit confused by the Mercedes Agency equal price treatment - it seems they are getting round it by registering them or passing them off as demonstrators with extremely low mileage. Lots of SL demonstrators - but what caught my eye - I received a email the other day from a car discount website
- An EQE 300 Sport, £114k list price, MB online showroom £1k discount. Just out of curiosity and after seeing 24% discount on the German online showroom for the EQE (jesMB or MB Passion articles), I thought i'd compare to the UK site. The UK leasing price for 3 years was £800/month on the MB Showroom. The special offer company email was £377/month, on same deposit terms and mileage - half price.... The German site including deposit was 40k euros over 3 years. The UK site including the deposit was almost 50% more....so a bit all over the place. Germany has much better discounts at the moment yet certain UK websites appear to be able to send out extremely cheap offers on specific models which are half the price of the UK official website...Whilst few and far between, it seems there are discrepancies/trying to offload certain models without letting everyone know?

I saw a white one today on the road by itself in what was a beautiful display of sunlight. Massive car and it looks like the front end has been ill repaired after an accident. The shape is just plain wrong. What a missed and wasted opportunity. Why are first generation vehicles a struggle for Mercedes?

May or may not be relevant, but the UK's ZEV Mandate is now in effect. I've not read the final bill, but as far as I know the £15,000 fine per car for not meeting ZEV sales targets is still in place. That sales target for 2024 is 22% of a manufacturers sales, but increases every year, it's quite the motivation for manufacturers to offload EV's on the cheap to stay on that trajectory. Mercedes's 2023 BEV share was reportedly 22.5%, they have to work hard to get that up as next year it will be 28%.

Mercedes have simplified the line up in the UK for the EQS Saloon.

Entry AMG line has been dropped so the new entry line is the AMG Line Premium starting at £112,610.

Luxury line trim has changed to Business Class.

Still just one motor choice, the EQS 450+

AMG 53 remains unchanged from what I can see

I remember the shock when the last gen XJ was introduced, I really hated that thing.

But now I wish the EQS would have that shape. Yet the upscaled greenhouse gives no chance to fix that with a facelift, nor overhangs will bring some balance.

The XJ has always been a stunner in my eyes. It's a real modern classic.
The XJR was always a special, athletic limo. Imagine one of those with a Benz V12 under the bonnet.

It's just a facelift. Hopefully they can fix the horrible front end graphics.
But no point completely changing the shell when a brand new platform awaits.

Hopefully they can fix the horrible front end graphics.

I don't have high expectations...
