The Mercedes-Benz EQS 450 4MATIC Sedan isn’t just a car; it’s a technological marvel wrapped in the robe of luxury. This model represents the brand’s first venture into creating an electric counterpart to the S-class, setting high benchmarks with its impressive array of features. The EQS boasts of a colossal touchscreen called the Hyperscreen that dominates the dashboard, enhancing your driving experience by leaps and bounds.

Further boosting its tech quotient is its unique fingerprint scan-based driver profiles and the inclusion of six USB-C ports, ensuring you’re always connected and personalized. Indulgence gets redefined in the EQS with its expansive interior space, accentuated by stunning cabin materials and the provision of headrest pillows for every passenger. Heating features for neck and shoulder as well as massage functions elevate comfort to a whole new level.

However, if you prioritize traditional driving dynamics over luxurious tech, the EQS may not be your first choice. Its performance on the road doesn’t match up to its stellar interiors, with responses that could be described as lethargic and handling that lacks excitement. The brake pedal feel could be unsettling for some drivers too. While its gasoline-powered sibling, the S-class sedan, sets a high bar for other cars in terms of cruising capability, the EQS still has strides to make before it becomes a benchmark in luxury EV sedans.
