Mercedes has unveiled its latest electric car, the EQS SUV.
Mercedes-Benz has unveiled its latest electric offering, the EQS SUV – a tech-heavy seven-seater that proves chunky EVs can still pass the eye test. Intended as the battery-powered alternative to the brand’s combustion engine GLS and larger sibling to its (excellent) luxury EQS saloon, the EQS SUV will mark Mercedes’ biggest electric car to date, and is scheduled to hit showrooms before the end of 2022. We’ll delve into the EV’s specs below, but the long story short is that this is essentially a slightly taller (read: family) version of the EQS, meaning drivers can expect many of the latter’s plush trimmings and stellar performance credentials with the welcome addition of two extra seats. The EQS SUV benefits from its likeness to the standard EQS in the looks department, too. Unlike other bulky EVs announced in recent months – the BMW XM being the most monstrous example – Mercedes’ latest places emphasis on curves instead of chrome to maintain the EQS’ unassuming elegance.
