As I've mentioned before, the iX and the EQS have almost the exact same shape. BMW used a lot more styling tricks to stop their EV SUV from looking like a van. The EQS camo is hiding some of the body sculpting but it's not going to raise your pulse. I've seen it person and it is instantly more palatable than the EQS...although the EQE is my current favorite.

I think these are going to sell well although the interior has some of the same material pitfalls as the EQS.



It does say Mercedes-EQ, however. People on this forum are going to have an agonizing ~6 years until these EVA2 vehicles are done lol.

Have you seen it in person with/without camouflage,and if you seen without camouflage how so?

With light camo and because, without revealing too much, I have business and personal connections in Tuscaloosa. The EQE I saw a long time ago elsewhere.

How is Mercedes going to build all these new vehicles with no chips?

They may go with fries.

Looks like a blown up A-Class. Yuck ?.

I really don't understand what MB is doing with these EQ cars. They are some of the worst looking cars I've seen in recent history. Other manufacturers are showing that efficiency and design in the BEV era work: Tesla, Audi, Porsche, Polestar, even some Chinese. As an MB fan, it's unbelievable that MB is staying the course in EQ design..

I find the EQ SUVs' relatively "digestable". It's the direction that M-B has taken with the low ride height EQ sedans that perplexes and alienates. They are simply very odd looking automobiles. For me purely hypothetical of course, but the EQ sedans are placed at the very bottom of my list in their respective segments. They simply do not appear to offer anything that is overwhelmingly compelling, whether it be design, craftsmanship, packaging, fit/finish/materials, etc. I do think that the Hyperscreen is kind of cool. But that's really not enough. They're "neither here nor there" automobiles.

Except for the looks, the EQS has received very positive responses from the press with the way it drives, especially its low noise levels, ride, comfort and agility and the look of the interior.

When was the last time, Rolf, you read negative responses from the "press", when a new car was introduced? I really can't remember.

We're past the first drives though where the reviews read as a press release. The EQS has already gone through full road tests were negatives have been noted yet it still manages to have an overall positive reputation as a car. The inevitable i7 vs. EQS tests are going to be what puts the EQS shortcomings in sharp relief as the Lucid is just on another planet from both from a performance/range perspective.

It's down right heartbreaking. Everyone else is coming up with EVs that look better than their ICE lineup or just good looking EVs period and Mercedes-Benz of all people can't make a good looking EV. It's inexplicably awful.

As more EQE sedan footage is appearing online, I must say that some of the motion shots are flattering.

Still, I agree that M-B designers have dropped the ball on the EQ sedans. First spyshots of the upcoming Audi A6 etron display what could be a rather eye-pleasing (while not necessarily "jawdropping") competitor. The same, perhaps even moreso, could apply to the upcoming BMW G60 i5. The new NIO ET7 features a clean, coherent design.

In the more elevated luxury 4 door segment, the BMW i7 should easily upstage the EQS in the looks department. Not to mention the cleverly penned-and-packaged Lucid Air. The Polestar 5, now that we have quite an accurate idea of how the production car will look, promises to be a "design tour de force". The production versions of the Audi and Porsche "Landjet" cars promise to excite the eye as well. As the Audi Grand Sphere is allegedly "an 80-to-85 % reflection" of what we can expect, at least a vague idea of how its' production counterpart will look is provided.

No bad feelings about this. Everything that can be seen looks great.

Side profile does no look like an egg.Arrow. Barrow. Whatever MB is calling it.

 

[fortuner]

This looka positive. Their is hope.

 

[Rolf]

Looking good so far, lets hope the full reveal will be a much better looking SUV than the EQC.

 

[PHYBENZ]

SUVs will look much better than the sedans, unfortunately.
