The Mercedes-Benz EQS sedan is a technological marvel and represents the first big step toward full-line electrification for the German automaker. So, what’s next? Using the EQS recipe in an SUV form factor feels like the obvious, and correct, move.
Mercedes invited me to its manufacturing plant in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, for a brief ride in an EQS SUV prototype. Tuscaloosa is the current production home of SUVs like the GLE and GLS, and will soon be home to the EQS SUV and other battery-electric vehicles.
