“At low speeds the EQS is genuinely near silent, with just a little wind whistle appearing around the A-pillars as you approach or exceed the motorway limit.”

“The EQS is Mercedes’ electric flagship and a stunning example of zero-emissions luxury motoring. It’s an expensive four-door saloon showcasing the very best technology and comfort from the German brand, and is a highly covetable tour de force that puts it well ahead of the competition.” (Erin Baker)

“The two most obvious compromises are the effectiveness of that giant screen and the dynamic restrictions resulting from the hefty battery weight. Beyond that, the EQS also delivers everything worthy of the S-Class name. It really is a wonderful, luxurious way to travel in every other respect – as well as being a tantalising showcase for how exciting the future can be.”

“Mercedes’ first electric car to sit on bespoke EV architecture, the EQS is a significant step up and represents the most luxurious EV Mercedes provides. Full of technology, more so than the standard S-class, and with a strong range and good EV-esque acceleration, it’s pretty much everything you’d expect from an electric S-class.”

“The EQS is Mercedes first attempt at a proper, high-end, luxury car with electric power and it’s brilliant. It’s pretty hefty on the road, though, and is very expensive.”

“The Mercedes EQS electric flagship doesn’t disappoint when it comes to interior quality or on-board technology, although ride comfort can’t quite match that of the traditional S-Class.”

“The EQS is going to really push forward the electric car benchmark in terms of range, refinement and technology. It’s a surprise that it doesn’t try to challenge Tesla or Audi in terms of performance though.”

“The Mercedes EQS is more than just a desirable electric car. It’s the German brand showing off its capabilities – a big two fingers at Tesla, if you like, signposting the direction for its rapidly expanding electric vehicle line-up.”

“Impressive 453-miles battery range, but for a very expensive price tag.”

“Just as the S-Class has often been cited as the ‘best car in the world’, so the Mercedes-Benz EQS lays a decent claim to being the best EV. It’s a car to admire, rather than fall in love with, but Mercedes-Benz came good in the end. Your move, Elon.”

“It’s very expensive but, in many respects, the Mercedes-Benz EQS feels worth every penny. It not only looks fantastic and packs an opulent interior, it’s great to drive and supremely comfortable. And of course, there’s that hugely impressive range that means you’re unlikely ever to miss your old fossil-fuel-powered luxury saloon.” (James Disdale)

“It is excellent to drive, beautiful to ride in, and its electronic features range from the fun to the smart to the highly intelligent. The existing S-Class is still for many the first choice for presidents and plutocrats, but there’s a new kid in town.”

“The EQS is based on a dedicated battery-electric platform, where everything is optimised and scalable for smaller cars in future. The most important Merc for decades, then? Absolutely.”

“Expensive, striking, spacious and amazing, the Mercedes-Benz EQS is one of the finest-riding vehicles in the world, though it’s beaten by the S-class. Whether all the electronic trickery is worth it is not so clear cut. The voice control isn’t bad, while £8K for the Hyperscreen dashboard seems like a load of hype.”

“The Mercedes-Benz EQS lives up to its electric S-Class billing in terms of the refinement and quality it offers, plus its range is outstanding and it will make financial sense for plenty of business users. Just bear in mind that there are compromises when it comes to comfort.”
