Mercedes-Benz says it has redeveloped more than a quarter of the EQS for the 2027 model year, focusing on drivetrain and battery changes that aim to improve range and efficiency.
The EQS adopts an 800-volt architecture and in-house electric motors, with a rear-axle motor paired to a two-speed gearbox and a higher-density cell chemistry that raises usable battery capacity to 122 kWh.
Mercedes-Benz reports a WLTP range of 925 km (574 miles) for the rear-drive EQS 450+, up from 780 km previously; the article’s rough EPA conversion estimated about 462 miles but noted that figure is speculative.
The 2027 EQS also offers an optional steer-by-wire system and a steering yoke, marking the first use of steer-by-wire in a Mercedes-Benz production vehicle, while most revisions are mechanical rather than styling changes.
