Still, until there's a Maybach version, I'd stick with the non-AMG version. Even though the people who buy this car will be buying it 80% of the time just for the AMG badge.

Drove an EQS580 this past weekend. Not really impressed. The exterior does not equate to 130k. The back seat legroom feels like an E class. Dunno, I just wasn't impressed with the car overall. My model Y performance feels like there is more rear seat legroom. Taycan GTS vs this, I am leaning towards the Porsche for my next car since the legroom sucks in the EQS.

@ramkumarshriswaminathan4244 2 жыл бұрын

There cannot be more leg room in model Y for sure since it just measures 4.75m versus 5.22m of EQS. And taycan is 4.96. And you can't also blame EQS for its lack of utilisation of space since it has the shortest bonnet in length. One thing that you could complain about is the inclination of your knees since batteries take up the space at the bottom and you have much less space between seats and floor. If you still insist on the legroom problem in EQS I think you have mistakenly understood in your test drive or something wrong with the settings. Please redo your test drive.

PLUS your feet canNOT fit under the front seats, so it feels even worse/more cramped. I will say it again, this does NOT feel like an S Class in the rear seat. It truly feels like an E Class (BTW I've owned an E Class too). But you obviously know more than me, smh.

@ramkumarshriswaminathan4244 2 жыл бұрын

@@ltphilipg the point from me was not about s class and EQS. It's very obvious s class would have more room under the seats because of lack of batteries and a bit more knee room as well since it's a traditional sedan. The problem for me was comparing it with model Y and taycan. You feel like that may be because the seating position in both of them are at SUV height and hence you feel like you could comfortably place your feet under the seats.

@ltphilipg 2 жыл бұрын

@@ramkumarshriswaminathan4244 but my point was that it didn't FEEL like a lot of space. I FEEL like I have just as much space in my model y, probably because I can put my feet under the seat. I also stated that since there is not enough legroom as I hoped, then I will just consider getting the Taycan to replace my Tesla. You told me the measurements and told me that I'm mistaken. But what I'm telling you is how I feel, not absolutes. I suggest sitting and driving in all the vehicles discussed, as I have, and get back with me.
