"The biggest news is the upgrade to its platform, which has gone up from 400 to 800 volts. This allows the refreshed EQS to charge at up to 350 kilowatts, a higher peak charging power than the new electric GLC."
"On an 800-volt charging station, the EQS can now add 199 miles (320 km) of WLTP range in 10 minutes. Charging speeds on a 400-volt charger peak at 175 kW."
"With a larger 122-kilowatt-hour battery (up from 118 kWh), the addition of a two-speed transmission on the rear motor, and the improved efficiency of going 800-volt, the EQS is now the longest-range Mercedes EV."
"The optional steer-by-wire system is another big addition, which replaces the traditional steering wheel with a yoke. With this system, you apply much less steering lock to maneuver the car."
The Mercedes-Benz EQS sedan has undergone a significant mid-lifecycle overhaul, featuring an upgraded platform, powertrain, and battery. The vehicle now includes new technology such as an optional steer-by-wire system with a yoke. The EQS will reach the U.S. in the second half of 2026 as a 2027 model. Over a quarter of its components are new or refined, with the platform upgraded from 400 to 800 volts, allowing for faster charging and improved range. The EQS now boasts a claimed WLTP range of 575 miles for the single-motor variant.
