The Mercedes-Benz EQS is the brand's flagship all-electric sedan, positioned squarely against the Tesla Model S and Lucid Air in the luxury EV segment. It targets affluent buyers who want a tech-forward, ultra-premium cabin experience without sacrificing the prestige of the three-pointed star. Offered in standard and AMG-tuned variants, it represents Mercedes-Benz's most ambitious push into battery-electric territory.
The 2022 Mercedes-Benz Eqs has not been crash-tested by NHTSA, so it carries no Safety Index. Its safety record here is built from 0 recalls and 46 owner complaints on file, giving it a light recall and complaint burden.

Reviewers generally praise the EQS for its extraordinarily refined interior, the sweeping Hyperscreen infotainment display, and its whisper-quiet, floating ride quality. Driving dynamics are described as smooth and effortless rather than sporty, which suits the limousine-like character. Some reviewers note the exterior styling and complex technology can feel polarizing, but the overall cabin refinement and comfort are consistently highlighted as segment-leading.
