Mercedes-Benz has given the 2027 EQS a major overhaul that adds an 800-volt electrical architecture, a larger 122 kWh battery and faster charging, delivering a 575-mile WLTP range.
The new EQS battery uses silicon‑oxide‑blended anodes with reduced cobalt to raise energy density within the same pack, and Mercedes-Benz said a prototype EQS recorded 749 miles in real‑world testing.
DC fast charging rises to 350 kW, able to add almost 200 miles WLTP in 10 minutes, and the car will split charging into 175 kW halves on 400‑volt stations; regenerative braking increases from 290 kW to 385 kW.
Mercedes-Benz also redesigned drivetrain hardware, building motors in‑house with a front‑motor disconnect on all‑wheel‑drive models and a two‑speed rear motor. The company said more than a quarter of EQS components are new versus over 50% in the updated S‑Class and it is shifting some EV design toward the CLA and GLC.
