San Jose drivers who switch to the EQS in 2023 have quite a lot to look forward to. Among all that’s new for the pioneering electric sedan from Mercedes-EQ, the expanded 2023 EQS configurations welcome a brand-new model, the first-ever EQS 450 4MATIC®. This all-new option expands on the baseline EQS 450+ model by adding 4MATIC® AWD capabilities. But the growing 2023 EQS configurations aren’t all that’s new for the EQS 2023 lineup. Below, Fletcher Jones Motorcars of Fremont dives into everything you should know about the 2023 EQS!
Whether at home in Bay Area or at a public charger in San Francisco, plugging in the EQS is made effortless by a charge port in the rear fender, compatible with DC and AC charging devices.
The 2023 EQS Sedan makes a statement everywhere it goes in Sunnyvale. Its architecture is dedicated to showcasing its pioneering position in the luxury electric class.
Sport front seats combine the sumptuous comfort and dramatic "draped" upholstery tailoring of the standard EQS seats with added support. You’ll look forward to nearly every drive in the 2023 EQS from Mercedes-EQ.
A breakthrough in automobile cockpit control, the Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) is further enhanced in the EQS. 2023 EQS models now include the MBUX Interior Assistant Rear to accommodate rear-seat passengers as well.
Set the right mood for the journey ahead with a network of LEDs including edge lighting that brings a soft glow to the dash, door trim, and seatback outlines.
The sweeping 12.3-inch high-resolution color display and 12.8-inch central touchscreen are customizable to help you take on every day in a way that makes sense to you.
Innovative touch controls elevate the multifunction steering wheel to an unparalleled level of user-friendliness. Get to know the controls, and you can stay in command without taking your eyes off the busy road.
Retreat to the 2023 EQS after a long day in Hayward and let the stress melt away with ten massage programs to soothe and rejuvenate. Select modes combine massage and heat for a “hot stone” effect.
The rear head restraints add the restful intelligence of detachable pillows upholstered in soft microfiber that is color-matched with the rest of the cabin.
Beyond the generous 350-mile driving range and the brisk response of the 2023 EQS Sedan, its industry-advancing charging ecosystem offers nearly 60,000 charge points nationwide with the assurance of green energy. And, its intelligent navigation sets a new standard for electric motoring simplicity. Enjoy every drive to the tune of 329 hp, with confidence and control provided by the available 4MATIC® All-Wheel Drive system.
How can I find a charging station?
There are 3 easy ways to find the nearest charging stations:
Is it safe to charge in the rain?
Yes!
Can I use a Tesla charger for my Mercedes-Benz?
Tesla chargers use a different connector and cannot be used with a Mercedes-Benz electric vehicle.
Battery Warranty?
The EQS's battery is covered by a 10 year / 155,000 mile manufacturer warranty.
What does EQS stand for Mercedes?
Intelligent Electric Mobility.
Where is the Mercedes EQS built?
The EQS is built at the modern plant in Sindelfingen, Germany, close to the Mercedes-Benz headquarters.
I have questions about chargers and the installation process, who can I contact?
For details about chargers and installation solutions, please contact Q-Merit 1(888) 272-0090 or your local electrician for additional information.
What's the difference between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 (DCFC) charging?
Level 1 is charging at home with a 120-volt circuit (i.e., using a standard electrical outlet). This normally provides 3-5 miles of charging per hour.
Level 2 is charging with a 240-volt circuit in the home or workplace. This requires professional installation of either a NEMA 14-50 outlet or a hardwired charging station, and can usually refill your EV battery overnight.
Level 3 or Direct Current Fast Charging (DCFC) uses a 480-volt DC circuit, and typically provides about an 80% charge in just 30 minutes. These charging stations are generally found at commercial sites such as shopping centers or highway rest areas.
