Hi Paul, This is Charlie Park with Mercedes, your co-driver on the offroad track in Denver. I really enjoyed the offroad ride with you and watching you producing your video. I hope you had a good trip back home and hope to see you again in future.

I love this honeymoon period as the luxury brands are introducing their EV’s by going all out with wow factor and quality of materials. I can only imagine they’ll dial it back a little in the future so that the price can be reduced a little. We’re living in an excellent time with peak ICE and brand’s who want to impress us with EV.

@NoOne56488 Жыл бұрын

Peak with ICE passed a long time ago when they all went direct injection. DI is the worst thing out, depending on the car it can cost more to keep up with maintenance due to valve's getting caked in carbon as well as them injectors are expensive as hell to replace. All in the name of a scam know as climate change. EV's are trash, off road an EV is the biggest joke out, if they break down good luck getting them out of a track, run out of battery have fun charging it. EV's only work in city's.

I reckon the "enormous HEPA filter" is just a pathetic excuse for some OTHER reason they don't want us opening the bonnet. I'd much prefer the option of omitting the filter, and having a frunk instead.

@razbakar7889 Жыл бұрын

I agree!! I think they could have employed a different method or placement to the gigantic filter and give more storage/luggage space as the vehicle is a bit sad on load-space.

Who skips to some parts of your videos? I'm watching all 44 mins of it. This is a superb vehicle. As an owner of the current G05 BMW X5, I was crossing my fingers for BMW to release an iX5 (which they promised to do soon). But now I'm not so sure if that's the SUV I should buy next. This EQS SUV is pretty good. And it looks very good too, unlike the hideous BMW iX. I think Mercedes have done a solid job here. That interior is just absolutely stunning.

@razbakar7889 Жыл бұрын

From the perspective of being an S-class, I'm disappointed that the EQS doesn't have soft-close, or self-presenting doors. And that its ground up EV design doesn't quite look like it, but rather, a converted ICE vehicle design: why else would it have pretend exhaust outlets in the rear??? Luggage space is equally disappointing as is the third-row seating but I am absolutely stoked about the rear-wheel-steering! Have loved RWS since they emerged in Hondas and Mazdas in the day. Unsure if anyone owning such a vehicle would even go bush-bashing let alone proper 4WD-ing. Overall, loving the vid, but unsure about the 'value proposition' of the EQS, over something like a Model X Plaid which will more than likely cost a chunk less.

Would it fit a full length cart size golf bag width wise? With current length drivers? Should have considered that for the test as probably a significant proportion of potential EQS SUV owners would be golfers.

Expect it to be around the $300k mark before on-roads. There's not currently an EQS 450 4MATIC sedan in Australia, that'll be coming in the next 2 months, but the EQS 53 sedan is $323k before on-roads and this will carry an SUV tax. So the 450 4MATIC SUV will be close to the AMG sedan.

The fact that the hardware is included in there should mean that they should enable it by default. If it was a case that it cost them extra to include it, they would have you option it from the build list.
