New Mercedes-Benz EV SUV is $147,500

Leave a Comment

Mercedes EQS EVYou can save money with an EV, but not this one. The new Mercedes-Benz EQS EV luxury performance SUV has a starting price of $147,500.

But you get Mercedes-Benz luxury, style, technology and 649hp with the souped-up high-performance provided by the AMG sports package upgrade.  Plus free unlimited fast charging for two years.

The new 2022 Mercedes-AMG EQS represents the first battery-electric AMG production model based on the new Mercedes-EQ architecture.

The performance sedan with an output of up to 649 hp and a boost function that provides up to 751 hp.

Purchase includes complimentary maintenance and free unlimited 30-minute DC-Fast Charging sessions with Electrify America for the first two years.

The AMG EQS Sedan will be offered in two curated trims for the U.S. market: Exclusive and Pinnacle. Both offer generous standard equipment providing high-tech safety and comfort  technology and EQ-specific features to meet the demands of what Mercedes describes as “even the most discerning customers.”

Standard Equipment

Standard equipment includes the revolutionary MBUX Hyperscreen, with three displays merged seamlessly under a single 56-inch curved glass surface, paired with the latest generation of MBUX. This includes adaptive software allowing the system to adapt completely to its user and offer personalized suggestions for a variety of infotainment, comfort and vehicle functions.

Specific features of the AMG EQS further emphasize the high-performance character of the sporty top model, such as the distinctive displays in the instrument cluster, as well as the multimedia display and standard augmented reality head-up display.

The AMG EQS also benefits from the AMG Performance 4MATIC+ variable all-wheel drive system. Standard on all AMG EQS models, the system continuously distributes the drive torque between the front and rear axles, depending on the driving situation.

Compared to a mechanical all-wheel drive system, the electro-specific system ensures a significantly faster response; the torque is checked 10,000 times per minute and adjusted if necessary.

The driving dynamics are further enhanced with the standard AMG RIDE CONTROL+ suspension with adaptive adjustable damping. Like the EQS from Mercedes-EQ, the suspension of the new Mercedes-AMG EQS features a four-link axle at the front and a multi-link axle at the rear. AMG engineers specifically improved the components and configured them to meet the special requirements of AMG customers.

The AMG RIDE CONTROL+ suspension is based on AIRMATIC air suspension combined with adaptive, electronically controlled adjustable damping together with rear-axle steering of up to 9-degrees as standard.

Safe Driving Features

To help ensure safe driving on the road, the entire suite of enhanced active and passive Driver Assistance Systems are included for every AMG EQS. With this, the vehicle can automatically maintain its speed and preset distance to the traffic in front as well as stay in its lane on multi-lane roads, and reduce the vehicle speed according to the traffic situation.

Additional thoughtful interior elements include, heated and ventilated front seats, leather seating surfaces, active multicontour front seats with enhanced massage and comfort headrests, wireless smartphone integration, wireless charging in the front and Burmester® Surround Sound System with 3D Sound, EQ Sound Experience and Sound Personalization.

The all-new AMG EQS represents a new era in the performance segment, providing innovative electric mobility without sacrificing the sporty and agile driving dynamics characteristic of Mercedes-AMG. To further enhance the experience for customers, Mercedes-Benz USA will offer AMG EQS customers complimentary 30- minute DC Fast charging with the Electrify America Network for 24-months from account activation, and two years of free maintenance.

the 2022 Mercedes-AMG EQS Sedan will arrive in U.S. dealerships in late spring of 2022.

Price excludes $1,050 destination and delivery charge
