More details

The new EQS arrives in Australia to create a meeting point for outstanding comfort, space and luxury, plus desirable design and future-focused technology via a powerful and refined all-electric drivetrain.

With dual e-motors mounted on each axle and the advanced 4MATIC system with Torque Shift, the EQS 450 4MATIC variably sends 265 kW and 800 Nm to all four wheels for instantaneous response and refined performance, with acceleration from 0-100 km/h taking as little as 5.6 seconds. Standard rear-axle steering allows an angle of up to 4.5°, adding extra steering responsiveness at high speeds while also assisting with manoeuvrability in low-speed situations by significantly reducing the turning circle.

Fitted with a 107.8 kWh battery pack, the EQS 450 4MATIC can travel up to 664 km (NEDC) between charges, and can receive charge from both AC (max. 22 kW) and DC (max. 200 kW) power sources.
