The EQS 450+ runs purely on electricity from its large lithium-ion battery. Official figures show combined consumption between 15.7 and 20.4 kWh/100 km and a WLTP range that can exceed 700 km depending on equipment and conditions. DC fast charging reaches 10-80 % in about 31 minutes.
As a battery-electric car it needs no engine oil changes. Servicing follows the ASSYST Plus indicator, which typically calls for attention once a year. Brake-fluid renewal and cabin-filter changes form the main recurring items. the high-voltage battery carries a 10-year/250 000 km performance certificate.
Euro NCAP awarded the EQS five stars in 2021, with 96 % adult and 91 % child occupant protection. Standard equipment includes a full suite of airbags (front, side, curtain, centre and knee), PRE-SAFE preventive measures, Attention Assist, active lane keeping, adaptive cruise and autonomous emergency braking that also detects pedestrians and cyclists.
Living with the car is straightforward: the onboard systems monitor service needs, remote functions via Mercedes me allow pre-conditioning and charge status checks, and the long battery warranty plus transferable maintenance packages give clear ownership cost visibility.
