The world-dominating automobile manufacturing company first introduced the all-electric EQS in 2018. The EQS from Mercedes-Benz falls under the compact sport utility vehicle (SUV). The all-electric model was introduced in 2018 but, was released the following year.
We all know how luxurious cars Mercedes-Benz makes and the same is with the EQS. The EQS from Mercedes-Benz falls under one of the best all-electric luxurious cars ever manufactured. Interestingly, Mercedes-Benz was named as the largest seller of premium vehicles in the world.
The EQS is not like any other standard electric model from Mercedes-Benz. The 2022 version of Mercedes-Benz EQS Electric is a flagship model under the EQ series. The all-electric sedan is considered to be the best in the house of Mercedes-Benz.
The 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS will be offered in two different trim levels and they are EQS450+ and EQS580 4MATIC. Both of the trim levels are equipped with precious and the most advanced features that are available in the market.
Engine and Performance of 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS Electric
The performance of the upcoming EQS is going to change the electrical performance of all other electric models in the market. The upcoming EQS is expected to feature a powerful 107.8 kWh along with either a single or dual-motor configuration.
The premium electric engine of the model helps it to outcome 516 hp along with 611 lb-ft of torque. That kind of huge power outcome is equally distributed to all of its wheels through a superior single-speed automatic transmission.
The engine of the model helps it reach from 0-60 MPH in just 4.1 seconds. Interestingly, the model is quite fast in the long run as well. The all-electric sedan completes its quarter-mile run in just 12.2 seconds. It completes its quarter-mile run with a top speed of 113.3 miles per hour.
But, this kind of performance might not be the best when they are compared with its other rivals in the market. The Mercedes-Benz EQS might be expensive but, there are other options available in the market with better overall performance.

The Tesla Model S comes out to be powerful in the segment. With a relatively low price tag, the Tesla Model S is surprising all of its rivals in the segment. The powerful engine of Tesla helps it reach 0-60 MPH in just 3.1 seconds and completes quarter-mile in just 10.7 seconds. The Porsche Taycan does have a good power and torque outcome but, it is not as good as the expensive Mercedes-Benz EQS.
Range of 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS Sedan
Electric models are highly famous and known for providing good overall mileage and range. Unfortunately, for the upcoming year model, we do not have a clear fuel economy data of EQS. Still, the heavy battery of the all-electric sedan might provide 478 miles as an overall range.
Additionally, we know that Mercedes-Benz has always been a dominator in the market in its fuel economy. We are quite sure that the upcoming EQS will provide great mileage figures on all road conditions.
Now, let us look at the MPGe figures of its other competitor in the market.
| Models | 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS Electric | 2022 Porsche Taycan 4S | 2022 Tesla Model S |
| MPGe (city) | NA | 79 | 114 |
| MPGe (highway) | NA | 79 | 106 |
| MPGe (combined) | NA | 79 | 110 |
| Range (miles) | 478 | 260 | 412 |
The MPGe figures of the Tesla Model S are the highest in the segment. Unfortunately, we do not have the MPGe figures of the Mercedes-Benz but, we could expect it to offer great MPGe figures on all road conditions. Unfortunately, the Porsche Taycan offers the least MPGe figures on all road conditions. The expected range of the upcoming Mercedes-Benz EQS seems to be the highest of all other rivals in the segment.
Interior of 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS
Mercedes-Benz has always provided with great interior layout even for the gasoline models. Without any doubt, we could say that the upcoming EQS will boast a full-electric interior. As it is a flagship model, there is a high probability that the EQS will come with a long list of unique features.
The interior cabin of the model is expected to come with the best raw materials that are available in the market. We are quite sure that, Mercedes-Benz will not compromise on any materials with that kind of price tag.
An individual will rarely find any plastic materials inside the cabin of EQS. 2022 will surely feature premium leather upholstery inside. The seats inside the model will be placed well for a better front view for both passenger and driver.
Other than that, the front seats of the sedan will surely feature a long list of adjustability. This might be kept standard even for the lowest trim level of the Mercedes-Benz EQS. The upper trim level of the Mercedes-Benz EQS might come with an additional seat massage feature which the low level might not.
| Models | 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS Electric | 2022 Porsche Taycan 4S | 2022 Tesla Model S |
| Seating Capacity | 5 | 5 | 5 |
| Front Row (head/shoulder/legroom) (in.) | NA | NA | 38.8/57.7/42.7 |
| Second Row (head/shoulder/legroom) (in.) | NA | NA | 35.3/55.0/35.4 |
Unfortunately, we do not have all the interior dimensions for Mercedes-Benz EQS and Porsche Taycan 4S. But, looking at the interior dimensions of the Tesla Model S we could be sure that it has enough passenger space inside. Moreover, we could expect the same interior passenger room for the upcoming Mercedes-Benz EQS and Porsche Taycan 4S.
Safety of 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS
All the manufactured models from Mercedes-Benz have always done outstanding from different crash-testing organizations. But, the upcoming version of the Mercedes-Benz EQS has not been crash-tested by any organization yet.
We are expecting that the upcoming EQS might be equipped with a PRE-SAFE system that will play a major role in its NHTSA and IIHS score.
Price of 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS
The five-seater sedan is yet to be released in the automobile market so, the price range might vary after the sedan is released. The model will be offered in two different trim levels and the price for them are as follows:-
- Mercedes-Benz EQS450+- $100,000
- Mercedes-Benz EQS 4MATIC- $106,000
