2025 Mercedes-Benz EQS Sedan Range, MPG, and Performance
The 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQS sedan sets the benchmark for electric luxury vehicles, seamlessly blending cutting-edge technology with the opulence and performance that the brand is renowned for. If you’re looking for a luxurious electric sedan with exceptional driving range and best-in-class driver-assistance features, this masterpiece offers sophisticated driving dynamics and a comfortable, technologically advanced interior with premium trim. In this article, we discuss the key features of the 2025 EQS, exploring its battery efficiency, performance, charging capabilities, handling, and superior energy management systems.
Electric Range and Battery Efficiency
At the heart of the 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQS sedan lies its industry-leading battery technology, which sets new standards for range and efficiency in the luxury electric vehicle segment. The EQS sedan features a lithium-ion battery that provides a usable capacity of 118 kWH with an impressive EPA-estimated range of up to 350 miles on a single charge, depending on the specific model and driving conditions. This substantial range makes the EQS sedan a practical choice for both daily commutes and long-distance journeys.
The EQS sedan’s exceptional range is courtesy of a state-of-the-art lithium-ion battery pack, which has been optimized for both energy density and longevity. Mercedes-Benz has implemented advanced thermal management systems to ensure the battery operates at optimal temperatures, enhancing both performance and lifespan. Real-world testing by Edmunds and Car and Driver shows the EQS can drive for over 400 miles on a single charge, a testament to the exceptional performance of its battery and energy management systems.
In terms of efficiency, the 2025 EQS sedan achieves an impressive MPGe rating. While exact figures may vary slightly depending on the final EPA certification, early estimates suggest the EQS sedan will deliver around 97 MPGe in the city, 97 MPGe on the highway, and 97 MPGe combined. These figures place the EQS sedan at the forefront of efficiency in the luxury electric sedan market.
Performance Specifications and Acceleration
The 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQS sedan doesn’t just excel in range and efficiency; it also delivers exhilarating performance that befits its luxury status. The base model EQS 450+ features a single electric motor mounted on the rear axle, producing 335 horsepower and 419 lb-ft of torque. This configuration allows for swift acceleration from zero to 60 mph in approximately 5.9 seconds.
Mercedes-Benz adds an electric motor to the front axle of the EQS 450 4MATIC®, upping torque to 590 lb-ft with a combined 335 horsepower and providing the car with all-wheel-drive capability. The 450 4MATIC® sprints from zero to 60 mph in 5.3 seconds.
If you’re looking for even more performance, the EQS 580 4MATIC® variant offers dual electric motors, one on each axle, providing all-wheel-drive capability and a combined output of 516 horsepower and 611 lb-ft of torque. This powerhouse can sprint from zero to 60 mph in just 4.1 seconds, delivering acceleration that rivals many sports cars.
Driving Modes and Handling
The 2025 EQS sedan offers a range of driving modes that allow you to tailor the vehicle’s characteristics to your preferences and driving conditions. These modes include Eco, Comfort, Sport, and Individual, each adjusting parameters such as power output, steering weight, suspension firmness, and energy recuperation levels.
In terms of handling, the EQS sedan benefits from its low center of gravity thanks to the battery pack integrated into the vehicle’s floor. This design contributes to exceptional stability and cornering capabilities. The standard air suspension system, coupled with rear-axle steering — which can turn the rear wheels up to 10 degrees — provides a perfect balance between comfort and agility.
Charging Capabilities and Times
The 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQS sedan is equipped with advanced charging capabilities to ensure convenient and efficient replenishment of its battery. When connected to a DC fast-charging station, the EQS sedan can charge at rates of up to 200 kW, allowing it to go from 10% to 80% in 31 minutes in ideal conditions.
For home charging, the EQS sedan comes standard with a 9.6 kW onboard charger, which can fully charge the battery in about 11.5 hours when connected to a 40A Level 2 home charging station. An optional 22 kW onboard charger is available, reducing the charging time to approximately five hours on compatible charging infrastructure.
Mercedes-Benz has also integrated intelligent charging features into the EQS sedan, including the ability to schedule charging during off-peak hours to take advantage of lower electricity rates, as well as preconditioning the battery for optimal fast-charging performance.
Regenerative Braking and Energy Management
The 2025 EQS sedan incorporates updated regenerative braking software that maximizes efficiency and range. The system offers multiple levels of energy recuperation, allowing you to engage in one-pedal driving in its strongest setting. This not only increases energy efficiency but also enhances your overall driving experience by reducing the need for frequent brake pedal use in urban environments.
The EQS sedan’s energy management system goes beyond simple regenerative braking. It utilizes artificial intelligence and navigation data to optimize energy usage based on the planned route, traffic conditions, and topography. This predictive energy management helps to maximize range and efficiency, especially on longer journeys.
The new EQS has a heat pump that warms the car’s interior with the waste heat from the electric motor and battery, reducing the energy draw required for climate control and enhancing battery efficiency and range. 4MATIC® all-wheel drive models feature a Disconnect Unit, which disengages the front axle’s electric motor in low-demand situations, boosting overall range and power management.
