Mercedes-Benz's EQS electric sedan has undergone significant updates, now boasting an 800-volt electric architecture, advanced MB.OS software, and up to 430 kW DC fast charging. The 2027 EQS also features a 122-kWh battery and an optional steer-by-wire system, marking a technological leap. Initially, the EQS was positioned as the electric equivalent of the S-Class, but it struggled to live up to this billing. Mercedes-Benz appears to be repositioning the EQS as a technological flagship rather than a direct S-Class replacement. The updated EQS is rear-wheel drive, with a single rear-mounted electric motor producing 402 hp and 372 lb-ft of torque. The company is using the EQS as a test rig for its next push into big sedan innovation, focusing on its technological advancements rather than trying to replace the traditional S-Class.
