The Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV specifications turn on the power tune, since a 122 kWh battery and dual-motor all-wheel drive run through every variant. There is no engine or tank to weigh. Two tunes are offered across four trims. The two power tunes are the only mechanical choice. Range barely differs between them in practice. Charging hardware is shared across the range.
The 450 makes 355 bhp with 800 Nm, which is plenty for a large family SUV. The 580 raises output to 536 bhp and 858 Nm for extra pace. A single-speed automatic drives all four wheels. Both feel quiet and strong on the move.
On range the 450 is rated at 820 km and the 580 at 809 km. The less powerful tune actually travels slightly farther on the same battery. The gap is small in practice. See how far each EQS SUV goes before you choose a tune.
A 200 kW DC charger takes the battery from 10 to 80 percent in about 31 minutes. AC charging is 11 kW as standard, with 22 kW optional. The body seats seven on a 3210 mm wheelbase. Length is 5136 mm and the boot holds 610 litres. Both tunes drive all four wheels. Width is 1965 mm for a roomy cabin.
The main decision is the 450 tune against the more powerful 580. Range differs little, so it comes down to pace and price. The Celebration Editions cost only slightly more than the standard cars. Compare the EQS SUV prices by tune, then read what the EQS SUV variants include.
