Welcome to the Mercedes-Benz EQS. Essentially, the fully electric S-Class of the future. Don"t believe us? Mercedes calls it "a trailblazer for the entire Mercedes-Benz EQ family," meaning it does for Merc"s electric range what the S-Class has traditionally done for, well, almost the whole car industry. This is where all the tech is going to filter down from. Given Jaguar"s making the next XJ electric, it"s also further proof that the luxury car market as a whole is going silent. And possibly self-driven. But while the EQS comes equipped with Level 3 autonomy, we"re assured it"ll still be a satisfying thing to drive. "Individual driving pleasure will continue to be desirable in the future," Merc triumphantly announces, to a collective sigh of relief across the whole of our corner of the internet. So as well as decent handling, we"re promised a good dose of performance. Kinda important when Tesla"s drawn a massive line in the sand for such things.
