As the flagship Mercedes-Benz SUEV has unfolded in a series of company press releases, it has developed into an industry leader. Powerful and spacious, and with the luxurious, techy interior that a cutting edge early 2020s industry-leading model should have, it’s also possessed of a strikingly attractive exterior design language…one that neatly balances relaxed and uptown in a manner that accurately reflects the contemporary sensibilities of its target buyer.

Having established the dimensions of its appeal and creature comforts profile — in the range-topping Pinnacle trim, the litany includes rear MBUX-enabled tablet, and a spa compilation including Active Ambient Lighting — the latest news on the 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQS concerns definitive numbers for pricing and range. According to the EPA methodology, the model’s range comes in at 285 miles. That’s very likely a conservative number, as EPA ranges have been contradicted by real-world testing on more than one occasion.

The model’s base sticker price is $105,550 with delivery. That’s for the EQS 450 at the Premium trim level, which includes Burmester audio and climate controlled front seats with head restraints. Pricing tops out with the EQS 580 with Pinnacle trim, which starts at $133,350 with delivery and includes a 56-inch curved touchscreen.
