April 11 2024,
Mercedes-Benz recently announced a comprehensive update to its flagship electric sedan, the EQS, for the 2025 model year. This next iteration promises to redefine luxury electric mobility through a series of enhancements ranging from technical upgrades to luxury and design refinements. Here’s a closer look at the ten key highlights that set the 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQS apart.
- Enhanced 118-kWh Battery for Extended Range
At the core of the 2025 EQS Sedan's improvements is the introduction of a new 118-kWh battery, significantly increasing the vehicle's electric range. This upgrade addresses one of the most pressing concerns for electric vehicle owners, offering more freedom and flexibility for long-distance travel without the need for frequent stops to recharge.
- Advanced Regenerative Braking System
The 2025 model incorporates a new regenerative braking system designed to maximize energy recuperation. This not only contributes to the sedan's extended range but also minimizes wear on the physical brake components, ensuring longevity and consistent performance over time.
- A Bold Redesign of the Front Fascia
Mercedes-Benz has given the EQS Sedan a striking facelift with a revised front fascia that features a new grille design and the iconic Mercedes-Benz standing star. The inclusion of flush-mounted chrome slats against a deep black background and a standard AMG Line bumper emphasizes the vehicle’s elegant yet dynamic stance.
- Luxurious Interior Enhancements
Inside, the 2025 EQS Sedan continues to push the boundaries of luxury with exquisite detail enhancements. Chrome accents now adorn the climate control vents on the B-pillars, while rear passengers can enjoy the enhanced comfort of pillows with contrast stitching and Nappa leather piping.
- Elevated Rear Passenger Comfort
Rear passenger experience sees significant upgrades with the optional Pinnacle Trim, featuring a fold-forward front passenger seat, rapid heating, neck and shoulder heating, and pneumatic adjustment for seat depth. An adjustable backrest and illuminated trim accents also contribute to an unmatched level of comfort and luxury.
- Standard MBUX Hyperscreen
The MBUX Hyperscreen, a groundbreaking feature, now comes standard in the 2025 EQS Sedan. This expansive, curved screen stretches over 55 inches across the dashboard, merging three displays into one for an immersive user experience.
- Enhanced Climate Comfort with Standard Heat Pump
A standard heat pump utilizes waste heat from the electric drive and battery to heat the interior, significantly reducing the need to draw power from the battery for heating purposes. This innovative feature not only enhances climate comfort but also contributes to the vehicle’s overall range efficiency.
- Disconnect Unit (DCU) in 4MATIC Models
The Disconnect Unit in 4MATIC models automatically decouples the electric motor on the front axle under certain conditions, optimizing energy use and extending the vehicle's range. This feature represents a smart adaptation of drivetrain technology to enhance electric vehicle efficiency.
- Increased Recuperation Level
The 2025 EQS Sedan boasts an increased recuperation level, allowing for greater energy recovery during deceleration. This enhancement not only improves the vehicle's range but also contributes to a more sustainable driving experience.
- KEYLESS-GO Comfort Package and Digital Vehicle Key
The inclusion of the KEYLESS-GO comfort package and Digital Vehicle Key as standard features adds a layer of convenience and security, allowing for easy starting, locking, and key sharing with compatible devices.
The 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQS Sedan stands as a testament to the brand's commitment to innovation, luxury, and sustainability. With its enhanced electric range, sophisticated design updates, and a suite of new comfort and technological features, the EQS Sedan is set to redefine what is expected from a luxury electric vehicle. As it prepares to arrive in Canadian dealerships later in 2024, the 2025 EQS Sedan is poised to continue Mercedes-Benz's legacy as a leader in the electric vehicle market.
