The first American-made, battery-powered Benz will upend its own gas-powered cousins, says editor Martin Padgett.
Mercedes-Benz will expand the EQS electric-car lineup in the 2023 model year with a new EQS SUV. The battery-powered crossover promises a lot—perhaps 350 miles of battery range or more, emissions-free driving, a palatial interior with a relentlessly informative set of displays dubbed Hyperscreen—and after a first ride along in the vinyl-disguised crossover, we think it also promises to put a sell-by date on the Alabama-built gas-powered GLS and GLE crossovers, too.
Electric cars make for the ultimate drift machines because of the copious controllable power, as we’ve witnessed in Porsche Taycans and Ford Mustang Mach-Es alike; at the other end of their operational spectrum, very fine and precise power control also makes electric cars ideal off-road machines.
The well-damped ride and tight turning circle are critical to its luxury mission because, with an electric G-Class coming for hardcore off-road clients, the EQS SUV will cater to the softer side of the brand’s reputation. While I’m chauffeured through some Alabama woods I probably hiked when I worked at this very plant in 1996, the EQS SUV absolutely smothers a raft of six-inch logs lashed together as a makeshift bridge.
