Mercedes-Benz EQS
Due to customer demand falling short of expectations, Mercedes-Benz has made a few subtle changes to the EQS for 2025. These include a more conventional-looking grille up front and a Mercedes-Benz badge at the tip of the hood. Improvements have also been made to the battery (now rated at 118 kWh) and cabin technologies. High prices and a lack of glamourous styling limit the full-size electric sedan’s success. Competition comes from the BMW i7 and Porsche Taycan.
