2023 Mercedes-EQ EQS SUV Starts at $105,550, Adds New AWD Option The 2023 Mercedes-EQ EQS SUV will soon join as the first all-electric SUV in the automaker’s portfolio of EQ sub-brands. Ahead of its arrival this fall, Mercedes announced pricing for the SUV and revealed that a lower-priced all-wheel drive option will be available. The EQS SUV originally came in two models: a single-engine 450 Plus and a twin-engine 580 4Matic. Now, Mercedes says a third option will switch between the two: the 450 4Matic twin-engine.

Like its sedan counterpart, the EQS SUV will arrive with a six-digit price tag, starting at $105,550 (all prices include destination fees). While the EQS’s entry cost is higher than many of its electrified competitors, it undercuts one major competitor – the Tesla Model X.

The 450 Plus has an edge over the AWD models when it comes to range. Although the EQS SUV has yet to receive an official rating from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the base model gets an estimated range of 305 miles, while the 450 4Matic and 580 4Matic each get 285 miles.
Most SUV interior designations are based on the trim options outlined below, with one notable exception: the 580 4Matic is the only model to offer Mercedes’ ultra-fast screen. The 56-inch screen extends across the instrument panel and combines a 12.3-inch instrument cluster with a 17.7-inch touchscreen display and a 12.3-inch passenger display. Both 450 models replace the large screen with a 12.8-inch touchscreen and a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster.
Regardless of screen size, all models get the latest version of Mercedes’ MBUX system with a navigation system that can calculate range and plan charging stations along the way.
Triple decorations
All EQS SUV models will offer a choice of three models: Premium, Exclusive and Pinnacle. The Premium comes with a suite of driver assistance features, including adaptive cruise control, practical lane steering assist, blind-spot warning with collision intervention, and automatic emergency braking with pedestrian and cross-traffic detection.
Additional standard features include heated and ventilated front seats, leather upholstery, a power tilt panoramic roof, a Burmester 3D sound system, ambient lighting and a 360-degree camera. The 450 models ride on 20-inch wheels, while the 580 4Matic gets 21-inch wheels.
