Received a mail from local dealer who wants to buy my 2022 EQS 580. I haven’t seen or heard of any compelling difference between 2022 and 2024 models. I’ll be interested in hearing member’s thoughts. I have no idea what they are offering for mine. It has been a solid car with Zero issues.

Those letters go to everyone.

What does it mean by "front motor disconnect?

stealth.pilot

It means your car disconnects the front motor to save energy while cruising. Automatically toggles between rear wheel drive and all wheel drive depending on what is needed. On an EV when you do this you are reducing HP so saving energy. But you still can use it for regen when braking. I'm surprised with this and the heat pump the difference is only 5 mpg of range. I expect in most circumstances it would be more.

I think these are good upgrades, but not enough to warrant signing up again for a slide on one of the worst depreciation curves I have experienced.

MB37

Thanks for the explanation. I think this front disconnection is already available on the 4/23' production amg eqs. In the amg window, when I am cruising, it's the rear that is deactivated. When I give it a little more acceleration, the rear motor engages.

stealth.pilot

I believe the 4Matic models 580 and AMG always had rear-motor disconnect. Even on the 2022 models. rear motor disconnect saves energy in cruising. front motor disconnect saves energy in light acceleration.

BenjaminKohl

Don't know where you are, but in the US Front Motor Disconnect starts with 09/23 production for the most part.

BenjaminKohl

On other models it's a bigger differnce, on the EQE 350 AWD Sedan, range jumps 260-->280, and on the EQE500 260-->277.

Tjdehya

That window just tells you that no power is being sent to the motor. That doesn't mean it is "disconnected."

Tjdehya

I would wait for 2025. Much bigger difference there. NACS, better efficiency, possible bigger battery, plus all the changes from '23 and '24.

MB37

What is the difference between a physical disconnect of an electric motor versus a power disconnect in terms of efficiency? Does the motor still offer drag while connected and therefore not as efficient as a physical disconnection?

Tjdehya

Exactly, and as someone already mentioned, its not a huge difference.
