[CAR REVIEW] Mercedes-Benz EQS: The epitome of automotive perfection

Unleash Supernatural Acceleration – Complete with Supercar-like Power

When it comes to electric vehicles, power is a game-changer, and the Mercedes-Benz EQS is no exception. Unlike internal combustion engines that gradually build up torque, EQS’s instant torque lets you go from 0 to 100 km/h in a staggering 4.3 seconds.

Feel the thrill of 516 horsepower and 858 Nm of torque as the EQS propels you forward, making the world outside your window a blur. The wind noise disappears as you immerse yourself in this adrenaline-pumping experience.

As you grip the steering wheel tighter and your senses return, you’ll feel the pulse of adrenaline coursing through your body. With a price tag just over 5 billion VND, the EQS delivers a ferocious driving experience that rivals supercars worth tens of billions of VND.

Whether you’re driving at 40, 60, 80, or 100 km/h, the EQS is always ready to respond to your commands. Switch to Individual driving mode and Vivid Flux sound mode for an out-of-this-world experience that will leave you feeling like you’re traveling on a spaceship. This is driving like you’ve never experienced before.

But the EQS isn’t just about thrilling acceleration. When driven in a more relaxed manner for daily commuting, it offers unparalleled comfort and a serene interior.

The EQS’s exceptional sound insulation is achieved through its aerodynamic design. With a drag coefficient of only 0.22 Cd, the EQS outperforms competitors like the Porsche Taycan (0.23 Cd) and Tesla Model S (0.24 Cd).

Sleek and Functional Design

The EQS showcases an impressive drag coefficient of 0.22 Cd, a feat achieved through meticulous attention to detail and optimizing the car’s shape.

With its seamless design, hidden door handles, 20-spoke wheels, and coupe-like silhouette, the EQS exudes elegance from every angle. The trunk-opening handle, which also serves as a rear camera, seamlessly blends into the design.

Rest assured, functionality is not compromised. The EQS’s graceful curves make it stand out on the road, even among other models in the Mercedes-Benz lineup.

The standout feature is its full LED Digital intelligent lighting system. With 1.3 million light points on each side, this system dynamically adjusts brightness to optimize visibility in various conditions, providing a truly captivating front-end design.

A Spacious and Ultramodern Interior

Beyond the expected luxury of leather, wood, and metal, the interior of the Mercedes-Benz EQS 580 is a glimpse into the future of automotive technology.

The EQS boasts three large display screens in front of the front passengers, behind the steering wheel, in the middle of the dashboard, and in front of the rear passengers. These screens, totaling 57 inches, provide easy access to essential features and place all the information you need at your fingertips.

The cabin of the EQS is elegantly minimalist, with just a row of glossy black buttons on the center armrest for quick access to essential features. All other functions and information are easily accessible and adjustable from any seat in the car, thanks to the spacious display screens.

The EQS’s rear seats offer an exceptional level of space, thanks to its extended wheelbase of 3.2 meters, equivalent to long-wheelbase S-Class models.

Yet, it falls short in terms of comfort and backrest inclination compared to its top-of-the-line sibling, the S580 Maybach sedans.

An Unforgettable Driving Experience

The EQS is not only a thoroughbred performer but also a dependable companion for your daily urban drives. Equipped with full autonomous driving assistance features, such as smart headlights, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and automatic parking, the EQS makes driving effortless and safe.

Thanks to its rear-wheel steering, the spacious EQS effortlessly maneuvers through crowded city streets. On highways and expressways, this feature enhances stability and safety, ensuring your EQS follows the desired trajectory with precision.

The EQS’s air suspension system quickly adapts to any road surface, delivering a smooth and comfortable ride. With its batteries positioned under the floor, the EQS achieves excellent rigidity and sound insulation.

Once you take the wheel of the Mercedes-Benz EQS, everyday worries fade away. Relax and enjoy the serene atmosphere, or take in the scenery while experiencing a safe and luxurious ride. The EQS delivers a level of refinement and technology that outshines its competitors.

Designed for Full Enjoyment

With a range of over 700 km on a single charge, the EQS alleviates range anxiety, a common concern for electric vehicle owners in Vietnam. In fact, a Vietnamese expert set a world record by covering 850 km from Hanoi to Quang Nam on a single charge in an EQS 450.

Charging the EQS to full capacity takes approximately 12 hours using an 11 kW DC charger, which costs around 50 million VND. The portable charger provided with the car extends the charging time to around 30 hours, making it more suitable as an emergency backup charger rather than the primary charging solution.

In a Nutshell

The Mercedes-Benz EQS offers an unrivaled driving experience. With government support policies exempting electric vehicles from registration fees, the EQS provides a supercar-like driving experience at an affordable price.

Boasting ample range, advanced technology, and spaciousness, the EQS is the epitome of electric luxury.
