Mercedes-Benz EQS
Mercedes’ top-of-the-range EV limo gets extra equipment and range The limousine class has long been something of a technological vanguard for the automotive industry; and in one respect in particular - when it comes to the provision of outright electric range in electric cars - it’s preserving that status.Some of the competitors of the subject of this road test - the updated, 2025-model-year Mercedes-Benz EQS - really are pushing the envelope when it comes to squeezing mileage into a big four-door saloon. The UK market in particular may still be waiting for right-hand drive versions of them: but, in North America, the Lucid Air has, for a couple of years now, been offering buyers a reassuring range in excess of 500 miles (as verified by the EPA) - while China’s Nio ET7, with its 150kWh semi-solid state battery, has become the first electric production car to be certified for more than 1000km (621 miles) of electric range on a single charge.Pressure’s therefore being heaped on the likes of the EQS to keep up, if it can. Introduced in 2021, this was Stuttgart’s memorable bid to respond to the charge of the Tesla Model S, and successfully electrify much of its S-Class customer base. It has thus far notably failed to do that, consistently being outsold by its more traditional sibling; with global demand for both cars slackening far enough for their shared production line at Sindelfingen to dial down output from two shifts a day to only one.Stand by to find out just how Mercedes has sought to boost this electric saloon’s fortunes by bolstering its power reserves.
