2024 Mercedes-Benz EQS Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV is a four-door electric crossover with two rows of seats standard and an optional third row.

It's offered with three power levels:

  • Single-motor rear-wheel-drive EQS 450+ (355 horsepower, 419 lb-ft of torque)
  • Dual-motor all-wheel-drive EQS 450 4Matic (355 hp, 590 lb-ft)
  • Dual-motor AWD EQS 580 4Matic (536 hp, 633 lb-ft)

All models draw power from a 118-kWh battery pack. DC fast-charging capability is standard up to 200 kW and should replenish the battery from 10% to 80% capacity in 31 minutes.

Once you choose a model, you select either Premium, Exclusive and Pinnacle trim levels.

Premium
The starting trim for the EQS SUV comes well equipped:

  • 21-inch wheels
  • Air suspension with adaptive dampers (can raise or lower the ride height of the vehicle and improve ride comfort and handling stability)
  • Rear-axle steering
  • Power tilt-and-sliding panoramic sunroof
  • Hands-free liftgate
  • Dual-zone climate control with heat pump
  • Leather upholstery
  • Heated, ventilated and power-adjustable front seats
  • Power-adjustable second-row seats
  • Interior ambient lighting
  • Hyperscreen glass dashboard (combines 12.3-inch digital instrument panel, 17.7-inch infotainment touchscreen, 12.3-inch passenger display)
  • Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
  • Burmester 3D sound system featuring Dolby Atmos
  • Navigation with augmented reality overlay
  • Wireless charging pad
  • 5G Wi-Fi hotspot

Also standard is the Driver Assistance package with these features:

  • Automatic emergency braking assistance with cross-traffic detection (warns if a front impact is imminent and applies the brakes if you don't respond in time)
  • Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front)
  • Lane keeping assistance (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse
  • Safe exit alert (can prevent a passenger from opening a door into traffic approaching from behind)
  • Evasive steering assistance (enhances the forward collision mitigation system with steering-based collision avoidance)
  • 360-degree surround-view camera (gives you a top-down view of the vehicle and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Front and rear parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)
  • Driver attention monitor (issues an alert if sensors determine you are becoming fatigued)
  • Automatic high beams
  • Semi-automated parking system (steers into a parking spot with little or no driver intervention)

Exclusive
This midlevel model adds:

  • Rapid-heating front seats and massage function
  • Four-zone climate control
  • Cabin air purification and fragrance system
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)

Pinnacle
The top EQS SUV trim turns up the luxury quotient with:

  • Executive second-row seat package
    • Heated rear seats
    • Rear side airbags
    • Second-row center armrest
    • MBUX infotainment tablet
    • Wireless rear-seat charging pad

Many features are available on lower trims as options. Other stand-alone options include:

  • Soft-close doors (new for 2024)
  • Third-row seats
  • Heated third-row seats
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Head-up display with augmented reality overlay (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)
  • Dashcam (records an image of the road ahead, which can be reviewed at a later time)
  • Rear entertainment system

Which EQS SUV trim 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.
