Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV: everyday electric done right. Illustrative review

9.2/10 OffLot expert score

The 2026 Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV sits near the top of its class. Well-organized infotainment; easy to see out of and park. Price climbs fast with options and engine gets loud under hard acceleration, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $108,000, it costs more than most direct rivals.

Solid, with a few quirks

Bought it for the school runs and road trips and it has handled everything so far. Fuel economy has been close to the sticker in mixed driving.

★★★★☆Nadia M. · Tampa, FL · 13 months owned
Good, not perfect

We cross-shopped three others and this won on cargo room. the touchscreen climate controls is the trade-off.

★★★★☆Jake T. · Austin, TX · 8 months owned
Good, not perfect

The cargo room is the standout. My only gripe is the touchscreen climate controls, which I knew going in.
