EQS 53 Press Drives Starting
This week AMG is hosting press drives of the new R232 SL and it appears that journalists may also be getting behind the wheel of the EQS 53. January 12th is the SL press embargo so if true for the EQS, expect more news and reviews around then.

2022 Mercedes EQS 580
I think the interior will still be nice, it looks like the only thing you really lose out on is some color options and cross stitching but in return you get likely more supportive AMG style seats. Both still have nice and soft napa leather. The EQS 53 interior on the Autogefuel video looks quite nice. That being said, I think the 580 and 450 make the most amount of sense for an "S-Class" segment vehicle, especially since the 580 already handles well and is quick enough as it is. The AMG variants I think will better suit the EQE since its smaller and more agile.

Matter of taste obviously, but when I see the EQS53 above, the interior looks like what I would expect in an E-Class (no quilting, boring color scheme).

Upper end M B interior options have always been puzzling to me…offering what I feel are impractical interiors.
My ‘18 S560 interior is a perfect example - off/white and a lovely medium-dark reddish-brown - but every single area where anyone might normally touch or put his hand, that’s where the off-white leather was used.
No thought whatsoever to maintaining as clean an interior as possible and minimizing maintenance.
Same with the fabric around the forward edge of the front door openings where it’s nearly impossible to keep from hitting it with your shoes entering and exiting the car.
It’s unthinking nonsense.

A lot of the Concept IAA came through with the AMG GT 4 door though, so it'll be interesting to see what model tracks most closely to this car.

All that pouring over the car with lights and gloves and they can't see the panel gaps are a mile wide? Must be the desired tolerances, which is awful.

2022 EQS 450
Panel gaps are measured robotically and any gaps that don't meet tolerance are adjusted by a technician as one of the final checks before the car is released for shipment. I have been to this plant several times over the past years and I am always amazed at the professionalism and attention to detail during the manufacturing process.

New EQS 450+ Review from RoadShow
2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS450 Plus review: The future is here

Yeah I know how it's done, that's not the point. Their tolerances are terrible. Look at the car EQS and EQE, their panel gaps are a mile wide compared to the S-Class that's built in the same plant or any other Mercedes. A CLA has tighter panel gaps and tolerances than the EQS and EQE.

Based on that, early judgments would probably be premature.
