The 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV will impress you with its high levels of comfort, luxury and technology. On top of that, it has plenty of range. In our testing, a 450+ version went more than 400 miles. This big Mercedes is expensive, but overall we think it's justified considering all of the features and refinement you get.Read full review

Mercedes fans awaiting a Tesla alternative now have it with the 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV. Similar in size to its gas-powered GLS analog, but with a more aerodynamic shape, the EQS marks Benz's flagship luxury-electric effort. This three-row SUV can go up to an EPA-estimated 339 miles. Impressively, we went even farther — 407 miles — in our real-world Edmunds EV Range Test. On top of offering plenty of range and power, the EQS SUV comes with the impeccable build quality and details you expect of Benz: creamy leather, cushy seats, advanced safety tech.

Edmunds spotlight: Changes for the 2024 EQS SUV

Fresh from its debut last year, the EQS SUV gets a few tweaks at the margins for 2024. A larger-capacity battery and disconnect feature for all-wheel-drive models (essentially turns off one motor when not needed) promise more range, while new brakes and software aim to improve brake feel. A heat pump should warm the cabin more quickly and efficiently. The dazzling glass Hyperscreen, which combines a digital gauge cluster, infotainment interface and passenger controls into a dash-spanning display, now comes standard.

Competitors to consider

There aren't many luxury three-row players today, giving the EQS SUV ample room to stand out. The Tesla Model X is a veteran, having debuted in 2016. It costs less than the EQS SUV, it's eligible for federal tax credits, and it has loads of cargo room. But the novelty of its awkward falcon-wing rear doors soon wears off, and it's not as large or roomy as the Mercedes. The Rivian R1S also costs much less, and while it can't match the EQS SUV in comfort and refinement, it offers legitimate off-road ability. The best value might be the forthcoming Kia EV9. With similar size and profile to the Telluride SUV, the EV9 promises three-row refinement for about half the price of the Mercedes.

We drove the 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.^{The Edmunds Vehicle Testing Team evaluates a fresh batch of vehicles every week, pairing objective assessments at our test track with real-world driving on city streets, freeways and winding roads. The data we gather results in our Expert Ratings. They’re based on 30-plus scores that cover every aspect of the automotive experience.}

Performance

8/10

How does the EQS SUV drive? We tested the base EQS SUV 450+, which is also the range leader of models. At our test track, it proved to be pretty slow by luxury EV standards, needing 6.4 seconds to reach 60 mph. But there's still enough power here to make routine driving stress-free, and more powerful EQS SUV models are available should you want quicker acceleration. We were also impressed with this SUV's easy-to-drive nature as well as its relatively nimble handling and strong emergency braking capabilities.

Comfort

9/10

How comfortable is the EQS SUV? The EQS SUV is supremely comfortable. It takes full advantage of near-silent EV propulsion and provides its occupants with a serene driving environment. Our test vehicle had the optional Acoustic Comfort package that includes sound-reducing windows, and we highly recommend getting it. Ride comfort is another strength for the EQS SUV. Our test vehicle was pretty unfazed by bumps and ruts on the road.

Three-zone climate control is standard, but four- and five-zone (with the optional third row of seating) systems are available. The climate controls are pretty easy to use, and airflow from the vents is excellent.

Interior

8.5/10

How’s the interior? The EQS SUV's Hyperscreen layout is expansive, made up of three separate screens connected by a large single piece of glass. There's one display for the driver, a central display, and a front passenger display, and it all looks like the future. Most of the controls are digital, which is not our preference, but there are a myriad of shortcuts that allow quick access to settings you might regularly change. The passenger screen is essentially a secondary screen that has all the functions of the central screen. For its size, the EQS SUV offers good all-around visibility thanks to a commanding driving position, which is augmented by a crisp surround-view camera system.

Occupants will find more than enough space to stretch out, especially those in the back seat. The EQS SUV is available with a third row, which our test vehicle did not have. Getting into the EQS SUV is just as easy as it is to get comfortable thanks to wide-opening doors and no obstructions. We would recommend you pass on the optional running boards. Our shorter drivers didn't find them helpful, and our taller drivers routinely clipped the boards with their shins.

Technology

9/10

How’s the tech? All Mercedes EQS SUVs now come standard with the new dash-spanning Hyperscreen. We were already fans of the previous 12.8-inch tablet display but, hey, upgrade! Our team members were split as to which system they preferred since the basic system offered bright, impressive graphics and plenty of useful shortcuts. The Hyperscreen is a lot to take in, and for some it might feel like too much. In either case, Mercedes' MBUX infotainment system is also one of the best for voice controls and personalization capabilities. There are a lot of menus and settings, but most buyers should be able to learn the system without much trouble. Even the standard 15-speaker Burmester audio system impresses.

One nifty feature is the available dashcam. It's nicely integrated into the windshield and allows for in-car playback as well as the option to save to a flash drive. As we've come to expect from Mercedes, the EQS SUV's advanced driver aids are excellent. The adaptive cruise control and lane centering systems operate smoothly and can be used in almost every situation. We experienced no false alarms in our testing.

Storage

8.5/10

How’s the storage? The EQS SUV's cargo space is average in size. Behind the second row of seats provides up to 31 cubic feet of storage with the second row in place. For comparison, the BMW iX offers slightly more by the numbers at 35.5 cubes, though the Mercedes feels more generous. With the second row of seats completely folded, and which lie almost flat, the EQS SUV can hold up to 74 cubes. It's worth noting that if you opt for the third row of seats, cargo space behind those drops to a paltry 7 cubes when the seats are in use. On the upside, there is a lot of storage space for small items in the cabin, especially for front passengers.

Got small children? The Mercedes' doors open wide and allow for good access to the rear seat for easy safety seat installation. The car seat anchors are also easy to access under leather flaps.

Range and Efficiency

9/10

How are the range and efficiency? The EQS SUV 450+ we tested has an EPA-estimated range of 339 miles. That range estimate is very good for an SUV of this size, and we found it could even go farther. We drove our test EQS SUV (with the 21-inch wheels) a total of 407 miles on a single battery charge on the Edmunds EV Range Test. That's outstanding for an electric SUV. The other EQS SUV versions, the 450 4Matic and 580 4Matic, are only slightly lower. Our test EQS SUV consumed slightly less energy than its EPA estimate, using only 32.7 kWh of electricity for every 100 miles of driving. (The EPA estimates 39 kWh/100 miles.)

For road trips, the EQS SUV has a DC fast-charging capability of up to 200 kilowatts according to Mercedes. We recorded a peak power of 211 kW with a 2023 model in our Edmunds EV Charging Test, maintaining an impressive average power of 175 kW over the duration of charge from 10% to 80%. This, combined with the EQS SUV's efficient energy use, means it is one of the best luxury SUVs for quickly charging and gaining range for long trips.

Value

8/10

Is the EQS SUV a good value? Even though its closest competitors undercut the starting price of the Mercedes by tens of thousands of dollars when new, the EQS SUV still manages to seem like a good deal. How? It's not just the amount of standard equipment you get — you get a lot of it — but the impressive fit and finish that is quintessential Mercedes. From wheels to paint to interior trim and upholstery, there's also a decent amount of customization on offer that you can't find in most of its rivals.

Warranties are fairly standard, but Mercedes does back up the EQS SUV's battery with a 10-year/155,000-mile warranty. Roadside assistance is included, as are two years of free maintenance. As a small bonus, you also get two years of complimentary 30-minute sessions at Electrify America fast chargers.

Wildcard

8.5/10

As an electric SUV, the EQS SUV is a refreshing change from the norm of speed first and luxury second. The EQS SUV, even in its entry-level guise, checks all the boxes you expect from a big Mercedes. It's supremely comfortable and blends modern technology with traditional luxury appointments in a way that few other electric SUVs can match.

Which EQS SUV does Edmunds recommend?

Assuming money is still an object in your calculations, the entry-level EQS 450+ in base Premium trim makes sense for most buyers. It gets you the longest range, plenty of power and loads of standard features, including driver assistance tech, while minimizing the EV investment. There are also multiple stand-alone options, so you likely won't feel like you're missing out on something from the higher trims.
