Tested: 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS450+ Electrifies Luxury

The less powerful version of the EQS offers relative value and impressive range for a six-figure outlay.

PUBLISHED: JAN 4, 2023

UPDATE 1/3/23: This review has been updated with test results.

After you've driven nearly every car for sale over the last 20 years, it's natural for the cars of the past to enter into your thoughts when driving something new. Humans compare experiences to gain perspective, which explains why we were daydreaming about Rolls-Royces while driving Mercedes-Benz's new electric luxury four-door, the EQS450+.

Like a Rolls-Royce Phantom, the EQS is a capsule of luxury and silence that pours itself down the road with unerring grace. Unlike a hard-to-swallow Rolls, the EQS looks like an Advil Liqui-Gel. It's a lozenge of a car with what Mercedes claims is the lowest drag coefficient—0.20—of any car on sale. That slick bod whips through the air, barely disturbing it, and leads to near silence at extra-legal highway speeds. At a more reasonable 70 mph, we recorded just 64 decibels of noise inside the cabin.

2022-mercedes-eqs450-9328-1672851249.webp


The 107.8-kWh battery sandwiched in the floor assists in keeping road noise to a minimum. That big battery also allows the EQS450+ to go an estimated 350 miles between charges, according to the EPA. Yet we were able to cover 400 miles on our 75-mph highway test, putting this Benz just behind our current long-range EV champ, the Lucid Air Grand Touring. Find a Level 3 DC hookup and the EQS can go from 10 percent charge to 80 percent in a claimed 31 minutes. On a typical Level 2 setup, the EQS takes just over 11 hours to go from 10 percent to 100 percent.

Moving the electrons around in the battery is a single motor driving the rear wheels that makes 329 horsepower and 417 pound-feet of torque. It's not nearly as quick as the 516-hp EQS580, but it'll shove you into the massaging seats. After the initial thrust from a stop the acceleration tapers off, but 60 mph is yours in 5.4 seconds. In more relaxed driving, the right-now torque affords the EQS the same sort of effortless waftability that Rolls-Royce has been touting for decades."

Now you see, why the M5 Comp. typically smokes its competition! BMW is playing down power massively and in reality overdelivering like crazy! I mean over 100Nm more torque than advertized. On the other hand - although already advertized as being the lightest among its competitors - its even undercutting the official weight opposed to its fat competitors, who are even more fatty than claimed.

M5 is simply insane. It always was!

By the way: I like this new CarWow format!
Unfortunately they didn't say one word about potential dyno detection of those cars. I know that at least AMG and Porsche did have dyno detection in the past, that then lead to power reduction on the dyno ... don't know, what's the current state here.

For those that don't want to watch the whole video. Places in order as per CARWOW rankings.

But that Mercedes Benz AMG has got a hell of alot of torque. They always have had!🙂

The midsized M5 with a big V8 is lighter than this car ...crazy.

These are some of the compromises of platform sharing with BEVs I suppose.
