EQS EQUALS AN ELECTRIC ROCKET

The new Mercedes-benz EQS luxury electric SUV has just gone on sale with prices starting at £129,170. That is for the EQS 450 4MATIC, which features up to 365 miles of range.

Seating seven and loaded with tech, this version rockets from 0-62mph in 6.0 seconds. The 580 4MATIC is even quicker and can do the same sprint in 4.6 seconds. Both versions feature dual electric motors, are four-wheel drive and have the same battery range.

In the unlikely event you’ll take such an expensive motor off-road you’ll be able to make use of the ability to raise the air suspension by 25mm for more ground clearance.
