Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV
Available in three models including 450 4MATIC, 580 4MATIC and Maybach 600, the EQS SUV aims to combine the prestige of the GLS with fully electric technology. However, fans of Mercedes-Benz tend to complain about uninspiring looks and a price range that can reach stratospheric heights. Fast depreciation and various reliability issues don’t help the EQS SUV, either. On the other hand, the vehicle proves comfortable, powerful, versatile and impressively built.
