In just five years since the first EQ car rolled off the production line, Mercedes now has a complete lineup of electric SUVs ranging from the "compact" EQA to the flagship and gargantuan EQS SUV. With its three rows of seats and ample boot, the latter is ostensibly the ideal SUV for well-heeled large families ready to make the transition to EVs.
Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV
The very first thing you'll notice about the EQS SUV is its sheer size. At well over five metres long and nearly two metres wide, few cars can rival it in the size stakes. It's larger than even very large SUVS like the Bentley Bentagya and Audi Q8. And unlike some poorly packaged SUVs which appear large on the outside and are actually quite cramped on the inside, the EQS SUV is equally cavernous behind the doors. Larger families will be happy to know that the EQS SUV has three rows of seats and dual sunroofs. The second row will happily accommodate three adults with ample legroom, and you can just about squeeze adults in the last row if the front two rows cooperate and move their seats forward. That said, the last row is best reserved for children. Happily, boot space, even with the third row up, is quite generous and more than sufficient for grocery runs and even short getaways.
Fold the third row of seats down and boot space expands to 800 litres. Fold the second row down and that expands to a whopping 2,000 litres. If whatever you are trying to move won't fit in this car, you need to call a truck. The driving position is commanding and impervious. You sit high and tower over every other road user.
