2024 Mercedes-Benz EV SUV: quirky, retains brand’s top status

In its second year, the Mercedes-Benz EQS 450+, the top-line electric sport utility vehicle, has improved from its strong debut. It’s what enthusiasts already liked but with more reasons to appreciate the nearly century-old manufacturer.

The luxury vehicle is available in three standard trims, EQS 450+, EQS 450 4MATIC and EQS 580 4MATIC, the latter two choices with the Mercedes-Benz all-wheel drive system. Starting prices range from $105,450 to $116,073.
