2022 Mercedes EQS Sedan 

by Mike Hunter

Redefining the automobile once again, Mercedes-EQ launches the all-electric 2022 EQS Sedan. Designed to exceed all expectations, the completely new EQS from Mercedes-EQ is the first-of-its-kind fully electric luxury vehicle. While the EQS is a close relative to the new S-Class, the electric architecture is all its own. This sedan marks a major milestone in integrating progressive mobility with executive-class luxury.

Seductively sculpted, the EQS is one of the world’s most aerodynamic production vehicles available today. Upon approach, one notices the ultra-sleek exterior with an LED light band that stretches across the entire front grille, offering a taste of the captivating beauty that lies within. The automatic comfort doors open and close — automatically.

The beautiful design extends seamlessly inside the sleek interior, revealing the available Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) Hyperscreen. Exclusive to the EQS, this 56-inch curved-glass instrument panel stretches from door to door to seamlessly merge three screens. A zero-layer interface eliminates the need to scroll submenus or provide voice commands, as the most essential applications — charging, entertainment, phone, navigation, connectivity, massage and more — are available given the situation.

The heart of the EQS beats with the next-generation lithium-ion battery, a sophisticated, high-energy density that sets a benchmark in performance, efficiency and charging capacity. The integrated navigation uses Electric Intelligence to calculate the route while taking into account charging stops, weather conditions and topography — helping to ensure the journey flows as smoothly as the EQS itself. With easy charging opportunities in the densest network of charge points, the EQS can get a quick boost in just 15 minutes. And, unlike traditional gas-powered engines, the EQS electric engine has its own soundscape, designed to uniquely carve out space for tranquility within the cabin.
