I drove the Mercedes-Benz EQS 450 EV for a week — and it’s the epitome of luxury driving

2025 Mercedes-Benz EQS Sedan review.

I’ve driven my fair share of luxury EVs. I thought EVs such as the Genesis GV60, Lexus RZ 450e, and Cadillac Lyriq were luxury vehicles, but I was wrong. My perception of what luxury really is has been distorted all this time. That's until now.

After driving the 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQS 450 Sedan for a week, it proves to me what it takes to truly be defined as luxury driving. I wasn’t prepared for the premium features it offers, which makes driving this all-electric sedan even more impressive — but it does cost a whopping $107,400 to start. That balloons to $139,910 with all the optional equipment and packages thrown in, so it’s certainly not cheap.
