We've let our European editor Georg Kacher loose in the new MercedesBenz EQS SUV electric crossover. 'Expensive but impressive,' he concludes 🤔

helps give it the same five-star ride comfort – and, despite being taller than the saloon, there are no trade-offs like excessive roll, yaw or pitch.

You won’t mistake this for anything but an electric Mercedes: its smooth grille replacing historical air intakes, soap-bar aero bodywork and brand familiarity. It looks good, inside and out. The materials used throughout are luxurious and well put together. It feels like a proper Merc should and isn’t it a relief we can say that after the wilderness years of wobbly quality?, performance when you prod the accelerator is immediate and substantial.

While the middle-ranking 450 4Matic does the job in six seconds flat, the entry-level 450+ loses another squealing seven tenths during take-off.If our two-day test drive in speed-restricted North America is anything to go by, our Mercedes EQS SUV review suggests a range of 250 to 300 miles is realistic, while the average waiting time at a 200kW charger is half an hour – that’s okay, but not nearly as quick as the 800-volt rivals from Korea.

The EQS SUV’s steering is on the light side, but it makes the big car feel smaller, and there is no artificial flavouring in the software pie. The brakes are grabby at first, pedal travel is long and mushy under pressure, and the effort over the final 50 yards is not exactly premium either. Brake feel is one of the few black marks against this car.The new Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV hides its considerable heft remarkably well.

Mercedes-Benz releasing 'Acceleration Increase' subscription fee for electric vehiclesGerman automaker Mercedes-Benz is releasing a new 'Acceleration Increase' feature that costs $1,200 a year and allows their cars to go from 0 to 60 mph one second faster. BMW wants their supposed owners of future EVs to subscribe to use their heated seats, and Ford too is looking at these fees they can charge you to use the car you supposedly own. $100/mo for a paid-off car? ridiculous.
