2022 Mercedes EQS 580

Undecided if I’d want chrome or night package on that though
Mercedes makes it easier for you by not offering a night package on the EQS models in the USA.

appears that way - suppose there is hope that may eventually become available, as the configurator is still not live so perhaps options not finalized yet.

do like the green one above with the blacked out trim

I hear you, I would never park in such a space. But it's not their personal EV, just a preproduction tester that MB will crush in a few months.

I'm surprised we haven't seen any video reviews of the EQS SUV yet. If Alabama has been producing pre-production or dealer demo's over the past two months, there should a field full of them by now. Come on MB, ship demos to the dealerships for customers to see and drive. BMW is shipping already the iX M60's to dealerships so you're late to the dance.

i watched a bunch of ix m60 videos... was back into thinking that's a vehicle i'd like to own. but im honestly not sure i can live with the grill. personal preference, but i've tried to come around to it but don't think I have, just yet.

re eqs would like a complete dog and a configurator ( in any market ) to play around with

I've seen several reviews already. If you type "EQS SUV review" into Google, you'll find many of them.

These are look, see, feel, touch production studio press intros.

No behind the wheel, outside of controlled environment reviews yet. And no driving impressions of any kind, thus far.

Thanks for clarifying, that is exactly what I meant. Driving reviews/impressions and actual demos at the dealerships for us to see and drive ourselves. I wonder if some reviews are happening and under an embargo.

Looks like there was a “National Dealer Meeting” June 4 or thereabouts. Check out the pics here. A configuration we haven’t seen yet

Another good catch. Those are the wheels many of us selected (for now). They look fine to me though a bit underwhelming.

I believe it’s diamond white. I zoomed in on the photo of the passenger side mirror and you can see the metallic in the paint. I think the new gray is a solid color.

misspoke there, meant to ask which white it is: diamond vs polar, but you answered that question too!

Sorry, I misunderstood. I hope this dealer meeting was also an opportunity for dealers to drive it. And hopefully they invited the media to drive it and post their reviews.

No drives, just a look around according to my GM.

Thanks for the info. That's a head-scratcher being EV's are hot right now due the gas prices. The sooner MB allows EQS SUV driving reviews and ships demos to dealerships, the better.

2022 Mercedes EQS 580
With the black plastic cladding and the crappy wheel design this does not look like an SUV that costs more than $110k. The likely $140-150k sticker for most of our builds seems ridiculous. They really should make a bit more effort and paint the cladding and have something similar to the Turbine wheels on the EQS 580

I also wish the cladding was painted, but I’m glad its glossy rather than rough unpainted plastic, I think its still much better looking than the sedan variant. I think they want it to be black to add visual height as without it, it may look more like a hatchback or MPV-ish.
