MERCEDES MEANS BUSINESS WITH NEXT-LEVEL LUXURY EV

Electric power should be the ideal fit for luxury cars. EVs tend to be quieter, smoother and a little more relaxing than their fuel-using counterparts, making them a go-to choice for refinement and comfort.

- 

Mercedes seems to think so, anyway, with the EQS.

The brand has also added a new Business Class package to the EQS, which introduces a heap of luxurious features to create - you guessed it - a more business-class experience.

WHAT'S NEW?

Many of the updates here come through that Business Class package, but the standard EQS is already a very well-specified car.

Highlights include the clever new Hyperscreen set up, which brings a massive central infotainment setup, as well as features such as soft-close doors and interior lighting elements.

Business Class, meanwhile, adds in a heated steering wheel and Mercedes' special multicontour front seats, which get an integrated massage function.

UNDER THE BONNET?

The EQS uses a fairly conventional setup by modern EV standards, but it's all about maximising the range and efficiency.
