Electric cars are advancing rapidly, with battery technology evolving to offer greater range and reduce range anxiety. In celebration of Environment Day earlier this month, we took the Mercedes-Benz EQS for a spin to evaluate its real-world range capabilities.
Mercedes-Benz EQS: A Range Champion
The EQS stands out as the electric vehicle with the highest claimed range, boasting an impressive 857 km. But how does this translate to everyday driving? Unlike an electric variant of the S-Class, the EQS is built on a unique architecture with sleek, aerodynamic styling designed to maximize range.

Exceptional Aerodynamics and Battery Capacity
Aerodynamics play a crucial role in the EQS’s performance, complemented by its substantial 107.8 kWh battery pack. In urban settings, driving conservatively can yield a real-world range of around 600 km, while a mix of city and highway driving maintains this impressive figure. Even with aggressive driving, the EQS delivers a range of approximately 500 km, thanks to its powerful battery.

Performance and Driving Experience
With over 500 bhp and 855 Nm of torque, the EQS offers a smooth yet exhilarating driving experience. Despite its power, the ride remains refined and tranquil, with rapid acceleration that feels effortless.

The digital driver display reveals the car’s impressive performance metrics. However, the steering wheel feels slightly oversized, although the 56-inch hyperscreen inside remains a highlight.
Comfort and Practicality
The EQS offers a luxurious ride, though its ground clearance can be a concern on rough roads. Fortunately, the GPS system memorizes potholes and adjusts the car’s height accordingly.

While the backseat luxury may not match the S-Class, the EQS excels as an electric luxury vehicle, combining performance, comfort, and a significant range that minimizes the need for frequent charging.
Conclusion: Leading the EV Market
For electric vehicles available in India, the Mercedes-Benz EQS sets a high standard for real-world range. Its combination of advanced aerodynamics, a powerful battery, and luxurious features make it an excellent choice for those seeking a top-tier electric vehicle.
