Mercedes announced the US pricing and availability for the performance flagship of the EQS range with the AMG emblem. The model will arrive in US dealerships in late spring 2022 starting from US$ 147,500. The Mercedes-AMG EQS Sedan as it is called in the United States – known as the Mercedes-AMG EQS 53 4MATIC+ in other markets – is a lot cheaper than in the UK where it starts from £ 154,995 (US$ 202,861). However, it is still significantly more expensive than the entry-level U.S.-spec EQS 450+ Premium which starts from US$ 102,310 with the extra dollars going to the superior performance, the sportier bodykit and loads of standard equipment.
The model is available in two trim levels
– Exclusive and Pinnacle. Both come standard with the 56-inch MBUX Hyperscreen,
the augmented reality head-up display with AMG-specific graphics, and the
entire suite of ADAS. The leather-upholstered interior also gets the active
multicontour front seats that are heated, ventilated, and come with massage and
comfort headrests, and the Burmester Surround Sound System.
The most powerful member of the EQS range
comes with AMG-specific dual electric motors producing a combined 649 hp and 950 Nm of torque, or up to 751 hp and 1020 Nm with the Dynamic Plus package. It comes standard
with the AMG Performance 4MATIC+ variable all-wheel drive system, 9-degree
rear-axle steering, and the adaptive AMG RIDE CONTROL+ suspension.
Mercedes-AMG EQS owners will benefit from
two years of complimentary 30-minute DC Fast charging with the Electrify
America Network and two years of free maintenance.
