Performance

The Mercedes-EQ EQS 450 4MATIC SUV has a maximum power of 265 KW (360 hp/355 bhp). The total torque is 800 nm (590 ft-lb). It performs the 0-100km/h sprint (0-62mph) in 6 seconds. The top speed is 210 km/h.

Battery, range, and charging

The battery has a gross capacity of 120kWh and a net capacity of 108,4kWh, meaning you have a 11,6kWh buffer for protection. (9.7%). The Lithium-Ion battery uses NMC technology.

The WLTP range varies from 611 to 511 km (380-318 mi), depending on car options. Bigger wheels are an example of an equipment option that increases consumption and reduces the electric range. The consumption is between 17.7kWh/100km for the basic version and 21.2kWh/100km for the top trim version for the WLTP standard test. For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listing on this model’s range and consumption page.

The maximum DC charging speed is 200kW. A full charge from 0 - 100% would take 82 minutes, while a more common scenario of 10-80% would take 30 minutes. If you assume you lose 5 minutes driving per charge stop in addition to the charge time, the optimum charge area is from 1% to 57%, resulting in an actual charge speed, including time loss, of 142kW. Each charge session would take 26 minutes and 41 seconds.

For the theoretical 1000km challenge, starting with a full battery and driving at 120km/h (75 mph), assuming optimal driving conditions and consumption of 25kWh/100km, 1000km will take 9 hours and 21 minutes. This trip will require two charge session(s) charging from 1% to 67%. The total time lost for charging up the battery will be 61 minutes.

Onboard charger

For level 1 and level 2 AC charging, the onboard charger supports up to 11 KW charging. As a result, you can charge the battery 0-100% from home in about 9 hours and 51 minutes.

Charge port

The location of the charge port is on the right rear side. This location makes it easy to use charge stations where you need to back up into the charger. The connector types vary between the different markets. This model uses CCS Combo 1 for North America and for Europe, CCS Combo 2. See full specifications for all markets.

Drivetrain

Mercedes-EQ EQS 450 4MATIC SUV has an all-wheel drive system supported by two motors, one on each axle. The motor(s) used are Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors.
