Mercedes-Benz unveiled the 2027 EQS midcycle refresh, adding more EPA-estimated range, a two-speed transmission, faster charging and an optional steer-by-wire yoke for the U.S. market later this year.
The EQS battery increases from 118 kWh to 122 kWh through greater energy density, which Mercedes-Benz says should raise range from about 385 miles to roughly 420 miles; new electric motors produce about 544 or 585 horsepower depending on configuration.
The car runs on a new 800-volt architecture that supports up to 350 kW peak charging and can add as much as 175 miles of range in 10 minutes in ideal conditions, while 400-volt stations yield up to a 175 kW peak.
Exterior and interior tweaks include backlit grille stars, an optional backlit hood ornament, stitched laurel door panels, redesigned cupholders and heated front seatbelts; Mercedes-Benz has not announced U.S. pricing.
