Mercedes EQS is the Most Luxurious Electric Car and it's Not Even Close...

wow what a spot to be in what a place to find yourself oh man that is vibrant yeah on a dark night moving through the city like that oh it's on the seats do this right here i don't know [Music] this is like cyberpunk sunset this car is amazing oh baby it's got the studio going on do you have trouble parking this one i don't think so this is how you open the doors watch this oh i could i guess pop this out oh my goodness gracious i mean i have a full out tablet at my disposal now [Music] [Music] that is the mercedes eqs in the studio this is mercedes competition for the variety of exclusive and luxury electric vehicles that are out there this thing has champion status i think at the moment for drag coefficient and also range it's got s-class luxury going on it's got an unusual kind of bluish color i haven't seen this one before it's almost like a color changing aspect and the interior is white and displays are everywhere i'm gonna just okay that's good enough for me i'll take it first of all with the blue up top and the white and what is look at the wood i mean the finishes they thought about it they did it i'm just gonna get in hold on i'm gonna put my foot on a break real quick stop it stop it that's too easy and look at the displays come to life over here all right we're gonna take a walk around first before we do the whole interior but i had to show you that feature straight away this little slot i've never seen anything quite like this that's windshield washer fluid in here by the way the rims are enormous apparently the rims themselves some of these design elements here actually serve a purpose to improve that drag coefficient as well another thing i noticed from the outside is this enormous section here which is responsible for your heads up display which apparently is a big deal on this vehicle with all kinds of navigation aspects and augmented reality aspects telling you where and when to turn and all that stuff that is a big trunk and you can see that the seats fold down you're getting a lot more cargo volume than on if if you were to have a designated or separate trunk this is quite a lot of volume oh my it's got a motorized i can hear the motor stopping it at different points locking at different stages did anybody else notice this i watched a couple of videos i didn't see this mention this is that's quite nice so it stays nice and wide open over there granted i mean with the super luxury vehicle i don't know that cargo is the top of your list for priority but they obviously thought about it and you can carry some stuff certainly if you needed to the rooftop plenty of glass up here big glass section and as you step away from it a little bit and analyze the shape you start to recognize how all all these decisions took that drag coefficient into account like you're just seeing such a simple form here that's going to be cutting through the air and you can kind of tell that that was a guiding principle as you're coming up with the lines here the front of course no grill on it you don't need one here this is an all-electric vehicle and they've kind of simulated one with these little mini mercedes logos all throughout there and if you look at these up close you can see they're an exact replica of the larger one here i like the way they've integrated the front camera it's barely visible right inside of the large mercedes logo here but they still manage to make it look a little bit mean with these sections on each side these fins over here give it a slightly more intimidating look you see this rolling up behind you inside the headlights all kinds of activity including a little digital light indicator the charge port is in i guess an unusual location amongst electric vehicles in the back rather than the front 31 minutes to 80 on a 200 kilowatt charger if you can find it so it can charge pretty quickly given the right equipment this wide opening door thing and freezing at the wide open position it might be okay i can't call my favorite feature i'm getting carried away here i know i like weird things but i like the ease i jump in i jump out the door stays where i want it and it's predictable i think mercedes knows its customer with that particular feature said that a fine little detail to many and certainly when you see it on video but then you use it you're like oh my goodness that's a that's a nice feeling right there it's like when you drink a refreshing drink you know the sound that you can't avoid making holy cow when you get inside this thing you yes it's a car right but this merging of technology and automotive it's apparent in here it it really feels more like you're stepping into a piece of tech than into a traditional vehicle and obviously the displays are a big part of that i can already tell where they're going to be mapped out i also this blue color up here is just it's really doing it for me futuristic blue this is the hue of the future let me hit the power button here we go [Music] i me come on displays are everywhere this is i don't remember what the dimension was they said across the whole thing it's one piece of material over top glass whatever happens to be but you can see it's three distinctive display sections so directly in front of me here is the information that's important to me as a driver of course i have my speed i have my heads up display up above there which is fairly large i can tell immediately over here is going to be all of your important info stuff so obviously your nav lives here i can see your climate lives here as well individual climate selection there's a separate climate menu let's see how that goes interesting so i can control climate up here i can control climate for the seats in the back i have air quality oh my goodness gracious energizing air control plus ultra fine particle reduced nitrogen oxide and odors air freshener oh baby we just turned on an air freshener oh i'm smelling am i smelling it smells so good in here i don't know if i'm smelling this display in the center is large that is a large display and it's interesting the way they had to cut it at these angles to follow this shape all around it's like your whole view is taken up i'm smelling freshness i'm smelling a little bit of freshness right now of course we've also got some pre-entry climate control in here so you know you may want to have it cool down prior to you jumping in it can do that the head rest how about a pillow let's just put a pillow there why don't we it's a comfy spot okay cool so more controls exist up here i'm just noticing for some quick important stuff like lighting and an sos button as well wait a second there's a sunroof oh i didn't even know oh a swipe gesture and a fairly substantial sunroof oh a little shade there okay your seat is hot no you turned it on i didn't do that did i i can turn on your heated seat stop it let's try that i did just turn on your heated seat a full control i got control of kirk right now that's unbelievable it's a lot to take in for myself right now so if you have navigation open huge navigation display available to you and it interacts with your heads-up display to project a visual of turns superimposed on the road in an augmented reality fashion oh this is off the usb playing video right now the floating leather surfaces are adding up to pure luxury that's a nice display right there also the deco surfaces are a pure static treat oh look at the amount of control on the vent there's one of these actually on each side and then in the center we reach up and pull these little tabs right here they've really done a good job of hiding these particular vents what heart rate so you can actually connect a wearable device which is then going to be referenced inside the vehicle it's going to be able to connect i guess via bluetooth oh baby we are into the massage section for these seats i have a substantial recline going on right now a pillow on my head and a hot relaxing back now i just need a car to drive itself right no no i'm joking i know you gotta have hands ready to go how about the steering wheel very soft and supple and this white interior mercedes does it well as far as the light interiors are concerned we have a volume control we can pick up phone calls a little bit of navigation control uh this looks like your cruise control you actually have paddle shifters as well which is kind of strange considering it's an electric vehicle now you probably realize this at this point but i can't take this for a drive just yet so there's certain features which i'm not going to be able to test oh seat kinetics lumbar look at this um get out of town look at this amount of control here comes the lumbar imagine coming up with this interface your job is to have a dinette look it clicks with haptics as i move around and simply adjust the lumbar side bolsters okay bolster me yes we take the seats really seriously green blue lighting in a cool refreshing breeze let's try that oh stop it with the lighting all the way or what i just had like a little session i'm having a little relaxing session with the hues or oh my now i'm vibrating i'm energizing it's a 360 audio experience [Music] wow there's all kinds of things happening in tandem i can only imagine this at night when you have this like this light strip goes all the way around the dash all the way around your body into the back this is unique this is unique to mercedes in this particular space this showcases some of the tech you can see here the distance control from the vehicle in front driving assistance active distance assist dynamically selecting comfortable i mean there's so much configuration available in here active brake assist lane keep assist blind spot assist is what kirk needs on the highway with the commute right it's stressful you need the assistance this is a fingerprint scanner to log you into your own personal settings simply with your fingerprint i just realized these are quick toggle buttons as well to get you into specific settings let's take a look at the cameras select the view by touching the display oh baby he's got the studio going on you think you'll have trouble parking this one i don't think so check this out see if i'm going to hit the curb i mean you wouldn't want to hit the curb or something like this but this is how you're going to see back to auto mode wild very nicely done oh here's how you select drive modes quite the ceremony that goes on here so it's comfort by default we switch to sport makes a little noise individual your own custom so if i select here let's see what can i tune up oh everything everything drive you can have it ask when you start the car what kind of mood you're in as well what kind of drive mode you want to select each time holy cow mean i'm just realizing how comprehensive this thing is like i need i think they need to let me keep this for a week what a cool you can see look at my brain the percentage of brake pressure same as accelerator wow why just because look at i can see the degree of the turn of each of the tires 34 36 37 as i straighten them out holy cow this is how you open the doors watch this ah yes i'm figuring this out okay [Music] oh i just noticed that the the seat belts have red leds at nighttime so you can see it easier the little details this is another sort of raw feeling wood surface and you slide this up to reveal some cup holders a location to put your key if you want to two usb type cs and what looks like a wireless charge mat which is in an actually useful location for once sometimes they're in weird spots i'll close that back down and then we've also got this button here which opens up this storage location little spot for some change fairly deep storage and also two more usb type-c connectors lastly a big giant storage area down here you can pass through the entire section and there's an elastic band over here i guess to hold something down oh we're right here there we go oh look you can see the fragrance in there because we had the freshener that's where the fragrance is hiding unbelievable not just one multiple capabilities for the type of fragrance there's one lighting thing i want to reference obviously with the energizing mode and things like this you will get a variety of lights showing around the car's light system but then there's simple stuff which is useful like if you turn the heat on you get a red light if i turn if i go colder i get a blue light moving across so you immediately know whatever it was that you were touching i gotta hop in the back now oh my goodness i don't know you might want to travel here you might actually prefer to travel back here of course i've also got a big monitor i can get content on here i can see my map my nav i can actually check the cameras i can pair a bluetooth headset if i want to watch content and listen to something exclusive of what everyone else is listening to whatever you have access to up there you have access to over here and you can see i could just be chilling back here watching a video independently of whatever anybody else is doing in the front row or even to my right hand side i'm also noticing that there is a analog mini jack headphone connector i got another tablet sitting here what happens if i power this on this is this is i could i guess pop this out oh my goodness gracious i mean i have a full out tablet at my disposal now i mean this counts as an extra potential content location so you can see there's the driver side that's the main display the passenger display in front of that seat this display in front of the rear left rear right and then the tablet itself which is what i'm on right now and it all pops in here we have something else oh a wireless charger that is nice so this is a very thoughtful wireless charger location as well for your passenger you can imagine this thing being used as like a limousine and you would not mind getting picked up in this vehicle from the airport that's for certain so i was on the lookout for cup holders they are hidden in there it's a little slide out tray with suspended bottoms so yeah you can definitely put your cups in there as well book lights a lot of headroom too actually oh climate control over here as well now the sound system in here is burmester and there's a bunch of speakers all over the place i'm familiar with burmester i have a burmester system in the thai can and it is uh they're kind of incredible but i do want to hear how it sounds in here maybe this gives a run for its money i imagine it could should be able to so let me hop back in a driver's seat and play some music i think they had a song in here yeah from an unknown artist oh my god [Music] that is very loud equalizer options we have a little base enhancement going on loudness normalization is set to medium we can of course pinpoint where we want to send audio if you have some passenger in the back that's sleeping or something you can have the audio focused over here or you can move it to a more surround situation burmester's always giving you a tremendous number of options for audio performance i mean this is yeah it's like it's almost like you would like to watch a movie over here [Music] all right ladies and gentlemen that is a look at the new eqs all electric man the tech inside is like i'm telling you i need a week with it to try out all the little variety of settings that exist in there lighting schemes seat control massagers it's comprehensive they thought of a lot every little detail that's mercedes that's luxury i really like what they did in this model we're looking at it's interesting because as electric cars become the standard you start to fill in the gaps with these options at every segment this is ultra luxury and having satin it now i'm realizing wow that was missing the other ones have been sporty or they've been utilitarian and there have been luxury features but they didn't get the mercedes luxury treatment nah that didn't happen until now and it is a different level to it that you experience from the minute you step in there or maybe even before that when the door swings open it's the whole combination of services that you experience stepping into it that lets you know you're participating in something a little different in a different take in an s-class like experience but electrified in the form of the eqs this is the edition one i'm gonna look forward to spending more time with it this

I don’t know if I can believe someone who tucks their pants into their socks.

[u/Schmich]

Imo, this is a spaceship interior unlike what they call the Model 3.

[u/snapunhappy]

Im glad the EQS exists, because choice is good, but it personifies everything I hate in car interior design (except the ride comfort and sound insulation, Mercedes all the way on those).

But they don't build it for me, and thats ok.

[u/will_mma]

If you want to watch a GOOD video from YouTube about this car, check out MKBHD’s, since he’s better-informed (though probably still a layman in terms of cars) or MotoManTV’s review for a more automotive-journalist type take.

[u/tuctrohs]

As much as I'm more interested in the performance of the vehicle then the bells and whistles, I see it as a positive sign that the performance of electric vehicles is good enough that people are competing on bells and whistles instead.

[u/whothecapfits]

There is no way Tesla will ever compete with this. I’m in love.

[u/tank_panzer]

My car is absolute shit, but I prefer its interior. I want as fewer displays in my life as I can get away with. And as few lights as possible. I hate my laptop charger because it has an LED.

I don't have the money to buy a Mercedes, but I appreciate the fact that Mercedes doesn't make me wish I could afford one of their cars.

[u/jushere4thememes]

Damn, that front end is kinda fugly imo, but other than that it seems awesome

[u/rockercaster]

I love how he is ultra-amazed at the doors being able to be opened and closed from the screen, and to * gasp * auto-close when he pressed the brake pedal!

Wow! I wonder what other luxury EV has been doing that since 2016.

That being said, this does indeed look nice. I just hope Mercedes doesn't F it up like they did with the EQC. Please bring it to market as-is, keep the price reasonably aligned with Model S, and not have abysmal range. If they can do that, this can take off!
