Performance

The Mercedes-EQ EQS 450+ SUV delivers a solid performance with a maximum power of 265 kW (360 hp / 355 bhp) and a total torque of 568 Nm (419 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 6.7 seconds and reaches a top speed of 210 km/h (131 mph), making it competitive within its class.

Battery, Range, and Charging

The high-capacity battery has a gross capacity of 120.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 108.4 kWh, providing a 11.6 kWh buffer (9.7%) for battery protection. With a nominal voltage of 396 volts, the system is classified as a 400-volt battery system, aligning with industry standards. This Lithium-Ion battery utilizes NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) technology.

Under the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle’s range varies between 672 to 540 km (418-336 miles), depending on the specific configuration and options, such as wheel size. Larger wheels can increase energy consumption and subsequently reduce the overall range. The vehicle’s energy consumption is rated at 16.1 kWh/100 km for the base model and 20.1 kWh/100 km for the top-tier model under the WLTP test cycle. For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.

The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 200 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 84 minutes, while a more typical scenario from 10% to 80% takes 30 minutes with an average charging speed of 150 kW. Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 1% to 56%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 139 kW, with each charging session taking about 26 minutes and 39 seconds.

In a theoretical 1000 km challenge, starting with a full battery and maintaining a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) under ideal conditions with an assumed consumption rate of 25 kWh/100 km, the trip would take approximately 9 hours and 22 minutes. This journey would require two charging stops from 1% to 67%, with a total charging time of 62 minutes.

Onboard Charger

The standard onboard charger supports up to 11 kW for Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging. This allows you to fully charge the battery from 0 to 100% in approximately 9 hours and 51 minutes using a home charging setup.

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. Connector types vary by market: this model uses CCS Combo 1 in North America and CCS Combo 2 in Europe. For complete specifications for all markets, refer to the full specifications.

Drivetrain

The Mercedes-EQ EQS 450+ SUV features an all-wheel drive system powered by two motors, one on each axle. The motor used are Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors.

Suspension

The suspension is fully adaptive on the front and rear axle, so height and damping can be adjusted manually and automatically. The minimum ground clearance is 181 mm, and the maximum is 206 mm.

Steering

Dynamic steering is a standard on the Mercedes-EQ EQS 450+ SUV, varying the steering ratio based on driving speed for enhanced control and comfort. In addition, rear-wheel steering is available as a standard feature. Rear wheel steering reduces the turning circle when going slow.

Brakes

The Mercedes-EQ EQS 450+ SUV is equipped with cast-iron disc brakes on both the front and rear. The front discs measure 415 mm, while the rear discs are 378 mm.

Regenerative Braking

The regenerative braking system in this model offers several modes to enhance efficiency and driving experience. The most efficient option is the Automatic Regeneration Mode, where the vehicle coasts when possible and employs regenerative braking to reduce speed as needed.

Manual regeneration is another mode, where regenerative braking is controlled by pressing the brake pedal. The brake system blends in physical brakes only when necessary.

Another option is the Regen on Accelerator Pedal mode where regenerative braking is activated when the driver eases off the accelerator pedal. This system allows the vehicle to slow down and recover energy without the driver needing to press the brake pedal, a feature often referred to as one-pedal driving. You can choose between two stopping modes for one-pedal driving. Hold mode brings the vehicle to a complete stop using friction brakes, and Roll mode allows the vehicle to roll until it stops naturally.

The maximum regenerative power is 300 kW.
