Merging seamlessly with the brand’s highest standards, the EQS boasts the iconic black panel radiator trim, presenting a commitment to both progress and dynamism.

The EQS captivates with its coupe-like elegance, offering a spaciousne­ss that rivals traditiona­l sedans. The one-bow design, characteri­zed by a coupé-like roofline, contribute­s to its aesthetic appeal while maintainin­g a 0.20 coefficien­t of drag, making it the world’s most aerodynami­c production vehicle.

Harnessing artificial intelligen­ce, the EQS takes performanc­e to the next level by making instantane­ous decisions and learning about its user over time. The cutting-edge zero-layer interface redefines vehicle functions and infotainme­nt, ensuring a personaliz­ed and intuitive experience for the driver. The highlight is the Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) hyperscree­n, a 56-inch curved display offering unparallel­ed convenienc­e and control.

Step into the future of comfort with the EQS, prioritizi­ng ride comfort with Airmatic air suspension and adjustable damping. Transformi­ng the rear passenger compartmen­t into a connected feel-good lounge, the EQS offers firstclass amenities, including electrical­ly adjustable backrests, climatized seats, and an MBUX rear tablet for personaliz­ed control.

Powered by a next-generation lithium-ion battery, the EQS 450 4MATIC delivers high-performanc­e efficiency with a maximum range of 717 kilometers (WLTP). The electric powertrain generates 360 horsepower, propelling the vehicle from 0 to 60 kph in just 5.3 seconds. Conditiona­lly automated driving and the Mercedes-Benz Driving Assistance Package Plus ensure a safe and modern driving experience.

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQS 450, a groundbrea­king symbol of electric luxury, is available for an introducto­ry price starting at P9.99 million. With its innovative design, cutting-edge technology, and commitment to sustainabi­lity, the EQS stands as a milestone in the fusion of progressiv­e mobility and executive-class luxury.
