The company has responded to market and customer feedback more quickly than ever before with numerous product upgrades. For the current change year 2024, the EQS is now receiving an extremely extensive update package. The electric flagship comes with up to 82 kilometres more range, a new radiator cover with chrome applications and an upright
The EQS was already one of the electric cars with the longest range. In the future, customers will be able to cover even more kilometres without stopping to charge. Thanks to an increased battery capacity from 108.4 to 118 kWh, the maximum range of the EQS 450 4MATIC (energy consumption combined: 20.9 - 17.0 kWh/100 km | CO2 emissions combined: 0 g/km | CO2 class: A)[1], for example, increases from 717 to 799 kilometres. This means an increase in range of more than 11 percent. With a range of 683-822 kilometres, the EQS 450+ (energy consumption combined: 19.9 - 16.3 kWh/100 km | CO2 emissions combined: 0 g/km | CO2 class: A)1 even exceeds the 800-kilometre mark.
Another technical measure: Due to the high proportion of recuperation in daily operation, the brake discs are used less often than in combustion models. In the future, a special function will maintain the brake system by automatically applying the pads to the discs from time to time.

The sense of high-quality details is also reflected in the interior: the ventilation nozzles on the B-pillars now have a frame made of galvanised chrome. The additional cushion in the rear is enhanced by piping made of Nappa leather.
Continuous improvements in rear comfort
EQS that are equipped with the optional Rear Comfort Package Plus with executive seats[2] (
This latest detail is another, but by no means the only, convenience of the Rear Comfort Package Plus: the passenger seat can be folded forward and the backrest in the rear can be adjusted up to 38 degrees. This ensures more space. The optional equipment also includes seat heating Plus and neck and shoulder heating in the rear, as well as pneumatic adjustment of the seat depth. An illuminated trim piece is integrated into the back of the front seats.
The fact that
Automatic lane changing on two-lane highways
With the 'Automatic Lane Change' (ALC) function,
The Automatic Lane Change is part of the Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC with Active Steering Assist. If a slower vehicle is driving ahead, the car can initiate the lane change itself within a speed range of 80-140 km/h. If the radars detect sufficient space and lane markings are identified, it can overtake the slower vehicle in front completely automatically. The prerequisites are a highway with at least two lanes with a speed limit and the vehicle being equipped with MBUX navigation. The system does not require any further input from the driver to carry out the automatic lane change.
The responsibility for driving the vehicle remains with the driver. Lane changes must therefore be monitored continuously.

Did you know, that ...
... the MBUX Hyperscreen is now standard on the EQS? There, three displays merge almost seamlessly into one another, creating a screen strip that is over 141 centimetres wide.
... the now standard heat pump increases climate comfort and efficiency? The waste heat from the electric drive (inverter and electric motor) and the high-voltage battery can be used to heat the interior. This enormously reduces the need for battery power for the heater and increases the range.
... the so-called Disconnect Unit (DCU) in the 4MATIC models automatically decouples the electric motor on the front axle depending on the driving situation and the required performance? At low loads, the
... the recuperation level of the EQS has been increased? The greater deceleration (up to 3 m/s2) means more energy recovered and therefore a longer range.
... many updates to the EQS were made using over-the-air technology (OTA)? These include, for example, DolbyO Atmos, the YouTube web app and a digital travel guide.
... the maintenance service in
... the EQS can be easily started and locked with the KEYLESS-GO comfort package with preparation for the Digital Vehicle Key[5] (standard equipment) if the driver has a compatible device[6]? Key sharing is also possible: family members or acquaintances can be digitally invited to use the vehicle.
