Flagship electric Mercedes-Benz arrives


The new Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV has arrived in Ireland at a starting price of €139,880, writes Brian Byrne.

The luxury SUV is now the flagship electric model for the brand, offering more headroom and an airier viewpoint than its saloon equivalent.

There's also extra storage spaces in the cabin, and the instrumentation features the full-width 'Hyperscreen' version of the MBUX information setup. An optional third row of seats provides room for seven occupants.

All the expected premium and safety features are on board. Power output is up to 544hp, and the rated range is up to 639km, both depending on chosen configuration. All versions except the entry one are 4WD.
