EQS Upright MB hood ornamental star?

The exterior hood ornamental MB star on the Maybach EQS is very nice…I was entertaining the idea of replacing the flat emblem on my EQS (before seeing the Maybach) sedan with an upright star. What are your thoughts? Would it greatly affect efficiency?

No, it won't hurt efficiency lol

Personally I think the cars where they have added the hood ornament and also have the big grille emblem look weird.

Yes the star in grill plus on hood has never has been a good look, although I get why people want the hood star just need to get a grill that goes along with it.

If you are willing to have the tacky look of two stars on the front then yes

However you should know that if you do that, most people will think you have an inferiority complex.

I know it looks “off” with 2 stars but I’m accustomed to driving MBs with a hood star.

do you know if any hood star part will fit or is there a direct fit? If you look at the sedan EQS hood hole opening, it doesn’t seem to have the traditional “notch” cut out to slip in and twist in a traditional hood star so I’m wondering if there’s a specific hood star for the EQS sedan.

Part number would be great if you have one.

thanks !

Get the one for the Maybach EQS SUV

The problem on the EQS is that the slope of the hood means you likely won't see the star from the drivers seat.

I don’t think any star from the SUV fits because the SUVs hood actually has a notch to twist in a hood star. The sedan doesn’t it seems

Maybach, the ultimate compensation car. Its like slapping a VTEC badge on a Honda.

New article is out on car and driver. According to it:

in a few months, 2025 models will be announced with a few minor changes like the stand up star grill, 118kwh battery from the SUV, and further updated rear seats.

2026 model year will be a full proper facelift, and the highlight will be a full update of the electric drive system. 800 volt battery, new in house designed motors, new cell chemistry, and a two speed transmission. And for 2028 or 2029 model yeah, the new V580 second gen will launch and will be much more normal in design and spacious inside.

They can keep the 800V battery. Now that Tesla is opening to other brands thus doubling your charging options, the majority of their chargers only charge 800V cars at 50kw or so. However even more range would be welcome, that would be nice in winter conditions and high speed driving.
