Car Buyer's Guide

Overview

The Mercedes-Benz EQS is a five-seat luxury electric sedan, launched in this generation in 2022. It suits buyers after a long-range, large Mercedes EV rather than an entry-level electric sedan. Prices start from RM648,888, with rear-wheel-drive EQS 450+ AMG Line and all-wheel-drive EQS 500 4Matic CKD versions available.

EQS in 2026 — what's new

Which variant to buy

Most buyers should take the EQS 500 4Matic CKD at RM648,888. It costs exactly the same as the RM648,888 EQS 450+ AMG Line, but gets 443 hp and all-wheel drive instead of 328 hp and rear-wheel drive. Pick the EQS 450+ AMG Line if the 782 km claimed range matters more than outright performance and traction; the 500 4Matic’s claimed range is 696 km. Both are five-seat, single-speed electric sedans.

Verdict

The EQS is priced at the upper end of the electric-sedan market, sitting just RM1,000 below the Mercedes-Benz AMG EQE and below the BMW i7, but far above models such as the Tesla Model 3. Its case rests on substantial battery capacity, claimed range and a choice between 782 km rear-drive efficiency or 443 hp all-wheel-drive performance. The identical pricing makes the 500 4Matic the stronger specification on paper.
