About the Mercedes-Benz EQS
The EQS 450+ serves as the entry point to Mercedes-Benz's dedicated electric flagship range, built on the bespoke EVA platform. It is defined by its 'One-Bow' design, achieving a record-breaking drag coefficient of 0.20, which prioritises efficiency and cabin silence over traditional three-box styling. While it lacks the dual-motor punch of the 580, the 450+ offers the longest range in the initial line-up, paired with a sophisticated air suspension that delivers a signature 'magic carpet' ride. Inside, the cabin is a showcase of digital luxury, often featuring the expansive MBUX Hyperscreen that spans the entire dashboard.
