The 2025 vintage of the Mercedes EQS, already available in Europe, boasts a 118 kWh battery for a range exceeding 800 km.
What if this is really it, a supercar, in the 21st century? Not a car capable of silly accelerations or top speeds, but a vehicle with ultra-sophisticated energy management! In fact, Mercedes seems to be on the right track, as its vehicle offering the greatest range in its lineup carries the label “Electric Art”. Specifically, we are talking about the EQS 450+ whose sale price is set at 120,350 euros. It should be noted that this price includes maintenance for 6 years or 90,000 kilometers.
No bonuses or penalties, and this is now a real commercial argument, as we are not talking about a low-quality American or Chinese vehicle. One should compare what can be compared, thus the Mercedes against Porsches, BMWs, or even the more “budget-friendly” Tesla Model S.
Record Range and Charging?
Of course, the super performance of the Mercedes EQS 450+ model 2025 is largely based on its new net capacity battery of 118 kWh, compared to 108.4 kWh previously. This is an increase of about 9%, which is no small feat!
The increase in range also comes from a modified braking system that allows for better energy regeneration during deceleration phases. Consequently, the mixed energy consumption is set at 16.5 kWh/100 km, a remarkable performance for a limousine weighing nearly 2.6 tons due to its very luxurious dimensions and equipment. One might simply wonder why this technological jewel still relies on large exterior mirrors when cameras could further refine the aerodynamic profile.
To move, the EQS 450+ Electric Art uses a single rear electric motor of 265 kW (360 horsepower), particularly strong with 568 Nm of torque. Acceleration to 100 km/h is achieved in 6.2 seconds, and the top speed is limited to 210 km/h.
Charging is not exceptional, with 200 kW on a fast charger and 11 kW on an AC outlet.
In the range of EQS, the 350 version (292 horsepower) priced at 106,100 euros ensures up to 692 km, while the more powerful EQS 580 (544 horsepower) and EQS 53 AMG (658 horsepower) cost 167,050 and 170,000 euros respectively. Sadly, their ranges are less impressive than the 450+ with 766 and 613 km of operational range.
In the end, the most relevant version remains the EQS 450+ for traveling fast and very comfortably. This technology will eventually flow into the rest of the Mercedes lineup in the coming months, promising exciting kilometer performance.
