Redline Reviews gives the 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQS 450 4Matic a strong positive rating of 79/100, praising its excellent performance and economy—the dual electric motors deliver 590 lb-feet of torque and reach 60 mph in 5.8 seconds, while the 108 kWh battery achieves an impressive 330-340 miles of real-world range. The cabin technology and driving features impress with a premium Burmester sound system, phone-as-key capability, and sophisticated 360-degree camera with trajectory display, complemented by S-Class-like interior quality. However, the vehicle's "Jelly Bean" design is criticized as aerodynamic but unattractive, and at $104,400+ it significantly undercuts competitors' pricing while lacking soft-close doors despite its luxury positioning. The EQS SUV is best suited for first-time electric vehicle buyers seeking three-row luxury and performance who can overlook its questionable styling and premium price tag.
