Mercedes-Benz has just pulled the wraps off a thoroughly reinvented EQS — and it isn’t just an update. With over a quarter of its components newly developed, the flagship electric sedan now packs 800-volt charging, a two-speed rear gearbox, steer-by-wire technology, and a WLTP range of up to 926 kilometers. The most intelligent EQS ever built is here, and it’s rewriting the rulebook on what a luxury EV can do.

EQS
20
The new MB.OS integrates and controls every aspect of the EQS, using AI and powerful chips connected to the Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Cloud. Over-the-air updates keep the entire vehicle software current — no dealership visit required.
19
Three displays merge beneath a single 55-inch glass surface, now with MBUX Zero Layer and app folders that work just like a smartphone. Amazon Music, Disney+, YouTube, and Sony RIDEVU are all ready to go.
18
The MBUX Virtual Assistant is powered by Microsoft AI and taps the full knowledge of the internet for real, multi-turn conversations. It lives on the central display as one of three avatars — including the charming, personality-packed “LittleBenz.”
17
Thin heating fibers woven directly into the front seatbelt webbing make the EQS the first production car to offer heated seatbelts. One button activates them, or set them to switch on automatically through the central display.
16
Two 13.1-inch rear screens come with individual remotes and HD cameras capable of handling Zoom and Teams calls. The 15-speaker Burmester system — 710 watts, Dolby Atmos — handles everything else.
15
Black Natural Grain Poplar Wood trim and laurel stitching in Macchiato Beige/Space Grey bring quiet elegance to every surface. For those who want more, MANUFAKTUR Made to Measure offers over 100 paint colors and deep personalization inside and out.
14
The 2027 EQS offers two distinct front-end personalities. The standard look pairs an illuminated standing star on the hood with a black grille and wide chrome slats. The optional AMG Line swaps chrome for a fully illuminated central star and a more aggressive grille with a unique backlit star pattern.
13
The illuminated Mercedes-Benz standing star on the hood is back and bolder than ever. It’s a direct nod to the S-Class, where the detail has long symbolized tradition, prestige, and understated authority.
12
A redesigned hood features pronounced powerdomes that give the EQS a sportier, more dynamic stance. It’s a subtle but effective shift for a car that previously leaned heavily into sleek minimalism.
11
The headlamps and front light strip now blend into a single unified element, with daytime running lights incorporating twin star emblems. The result ties the EQS more tightly into the broader Mercedes-Benz family design language.
