8 TRIMSABOUT THE MERCEDES-BENZ EQS
The Mercedes-Benz EQS 450+ is the rear-wheel-drive, range-oriented version of Mercedes’ electric flagship sedan. Its single-motor layout produces roughly 329–355 hp depending on model year, while the large battery and aerodynamic body prioritize long-distance efficiency. Cariary sees the 450+ as the EQS that best matches the car’s mission: silent, effortless luxury rather than unnecessary performance. Faster 4MATIC and AMG versions exist, but the rear-drive model can travel farther and already accelerates with the smooth response expected of a flagship EV. The hatchback shape improves cargo access, though the exterior proportions are less formal than a traditional S-Class. Buyers should assess battery health, charging speed, wheel size and software updates, and should remember that luxury-EV depreciation can be steep even when the underlying technology remains impressive.
