Overview
- The EQS facelift, unveiled Wednesday, claims up to 925–926km of WLTP range in the long‑range 450+ variant.
- The new 800‑volt system supports up to 350kW DC charging, which Mercedes says can add about 320km of range in roughly 10 minutes under ideal conditions.
- Hardware changes include an in‑house drive unit with a two‑speed rear gearbox and stronger energy recuperation rated up to 385kW.
- Tech updates bring an optional steer‑by‑wire setup with a yoke, the MB.OS platform running the dash‑spanning MBUX Hyperscreen with AI, and cloud‑linked suspension that adapts to road data.
- The range opens in Germany from €94,403, with Europe and the US expected later in 2026, Australia due late this year, and India likely to follow in 2027, while steer‑by‑wire is slated to arrive shortly after launch.
