2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS 580 4MATIC Sedan

The EQS 580, the electric equivalent of Mercedes- Benz’s iconic S-Class sedan, is an impressive car that demonstrates the automaker’s level of commitment to an EV future. The EQS is Mercedes’ first model from its all-electric EQ sub brand. The 580, with 2 electric motors and all-wheel drive, sits in the middle of the EQS lineup, above the 450+ single-motor version and below the AMG EQS. It overflows with all the luxurious appointments, in-car tech, and ADAS features typical of the brand and that any buyer shelling out $140,000 has a right to expect. Not everyone is on board with the EQS exterior styling, but there’s no disagreement about its performance capabilities. Its efficient drivetrain produces excellent acceleration and power, with lots of low-end torque, although overall handling and drivability fall below that of the S-Class sedan. The ride quality is comfortable, smooth, and silent; hardly any road noise enters the cabin. MPGe ratings are good, and the overall EV range is a strong 340 miles.
