Used 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS Sedan Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2022 EQS is Mercedes' new all-electric large luxury sedan. It comes in three main versions: 450+, 580 4Matic and AMG EQS.

The 450+ comes with a single electric motor powering the rear wheels. It produces 329 horsepower and 419 lb-ft of torque. The 580 4Matic has dual motors and all-wheel drive that combine to produce 516 hp and 631 lb-ft. The AMG EQS uses the same powertrain but boosts power to 649 hp and 700 lb-ft of torque. This version also features a Race Start launch control mode, which temporarily increases output to 751 hp and 752 lb-ft. All models use a 108-kWh battery pack.

The EPA estimates that the 450+ can drive about 350 miles on a fully charged battery, which is impressive for an EV. Even better, we exceeded that estimate in our real-world range testing, driving a total of 422 miles. The 580 4Matic has a bit less range; the EPA says it will travel 340 miles on a charge, but we've achieved 381 miles. The EPA had not provided an estimate for the AMG EQS at the time of this review's publication.

Mercedes offers three trim levels for the EQS: Premium, Exclusive and Pinnacle. There's also a limited-production Edition One version of the EQS 580. 

Premium
Highlight features for this base trim include:

  • 20-inch wheels (450+ only)
  • 21-inch wheels (non-450+ models)
  • Adaptive air suspension
  • LED headlights
  • Heated and ventilated front seats
  • Sport seats with upgraded leather upholstery (AMG EQS only)
  • Panoramic glass roof
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster
  • 12.8-inch OLED touchscreen infotainment display (EQS 450+ only)
  • Mercedes' dash-spanning Hyperscreen with 17.7-inch OLED center display and 12.3-inch passenger display (EQS 580 4Matic and AMG EQS only)
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration (with wireless connectivity)
  • Integrated navigation system
  • Burmester audio system
  • Power liftgate

It also has plenty of advanced driver aids, including:

  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Mercedes and the car in front)
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the EQS and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Lane keeping assist (steers the EQS back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
  • Automated parking system (steers into a parking spot with little or no driver intervention)
  • Evasive steering assist (enhances the forward collision mitigation system with steering-based collision avoidance)

Exclusive
The Exclusive includes all of the Premium's features, adding:

  • Massaging front seats with more adjustments and memory settings
  • Four-zone automatic climate control
  • Air filtration and fragrance system
  • Head-up display
  • Wireless smartphone charging pad

Pinnacle
The top-level trim includes all of the Exclusive's features plus:

  • Heated, ventilated and power-adjustable rear seats with memory settings
  • Rear smartphone charging pad

Edition One
Limited to just 50 units, the Edition One builds off the EQS 580 in Pinnacle trim, adding:

  • Hand-painted exterior in Cirrus Silver below the beltline and Obsidian Black above
  • Sound-reducing glass
  • Advanced air filtration system
  • Unique badging and doorsills
  • Upgraded gray leather seats
  • Gray headliner
  • Heated steering wheel

The EQS also offers a number of optional extras. These include:

  • Winter Package
    • Heated windshield and washer system
    • Heated steering wheel
  • Executive Rear Seat Package Plus (Pinnacle trim only)
    • Massaging rear seats with adjustable lumbar
    • Rapid heating function with neck and shoulder heating elements
    • Rear control tablet
  • AMG Line Interior
    • Front sport seats
    • Flat-bottom steering wheel
  • Energizing Comfort system (coordinates massage, air scent, ambient lighting and other functions)
  • Advanced air filtration system
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)
  • Advanced head-up-display (requires Hyperscreen)
  • Sound-reducing glass

Which EQS trim does Edmunds recommend?

We suggest going with the base 450+ in the Pinnacle trim. Though we usually don't recommend choosing the top-level trim, the price jump is relatively small considering the extra features the Pinnacle includes over the Premium trim.
