Overview
- Mercedes announced Tuesday a 2026 facelift for the EQS that switches to an 800‑volt electrical system and lifts peak DC charging to 350 kW.
- A larger 122 kWh battery and new drive units with a two‑speed rear gearbox push rated range to up to 926 km on the WLTP test.
- The reworked lineup adds an EQS 400 entry model with a 112 kWh pack, with German prices starting at about €94,400 and sales slated for the second half of 2026.
- Inside, the 55‑inch Hyperscreen now comes standard, a quicker infotainment platform adds more apps, and an optional steer‑by‑wire setup is planned to remove the mechanical link to the wheels.
- The design adopts a conventional grille topped by the classic hood star, signaling a return to core Mercedes cues for its electric flagship.
