Although I brought the two biggest bags from luggage test lore with me, I wasn’t able to do a full comparative cargo test with the EQS. Nevertheless, theA7-style hatchback trunk could swallow those two bags plus a similarly sized stroller carrier bag. I also stuffed in a Graco Pack ‘N Play and a duffle bag plus a few odds and ends under the SUV-style roller cargo cover.
Oh, and the cupholder/phone bin compartment is the exact size of a Starbucks to-go tray, so that's, ah, neat?The Hyperscreen infotainment system that consists of three screens behind a single piece of curved glass comes standard on the EQS 580 and is optional on the 450+ . In general, I find it easier to use than MBUX and didn’t miss having a redundant control knob or touchpad – just make sure to keep a microfiber cloth on hand, ‘cause oh boy does it get fingerprinty.
I kept the instrument panel on Classic view as the many others are just silly or pointless. The passenger screen mostly remained unused, but my wife did find it handy for controlling her favorite car feature: massaging seats. She could do this without taking over the main screen, and even served as my spa valet by selecting one of the many massaging functions for me. Such service.
