Mercedes-Benz EQS 580 4MATIC: The Future at Our Doorstep
November 26 2021,
Soon, a new sedan will be hitting Mercedes-Benz showrooms across the country: the EQS 580 4Matic sedan. Intended as a fully electrified S-Class, The EQS 580 4Matic is the brand's first electric model to be built on a platform designed exclusively for electric vehicles.
It is also the first model to be launched under the EQ division, which is dedicated to electrification. Others will follow, including the EQA, EQB, EQC, and the EQE sedan. The EQS is a glimpse into the future, and that future is tomorrow at Mercedes-Benz, as it is said that the shift to electric vehicles will be completed by the time the next decade begins.
Mercedes-Benz Blainville on the North Shore of Montreal near Terrebonne, Laval, Boisbriand and Saint-Jérôme presents the Mercedes-Benz EQS 580 4Matic. Make your choice at your dealer in Blainville among our new Mercedes-Benz vehicles or our pre-owned Mercedes-Benz models.

A Palace on Wheels
First, let's talk about the luxury this model will offer. Indeed, we are dealing here with a high-end sedan. On board, the EQS is draped in the highest quality materials and equipped with countless luxury amenities. The list includes extraordinary interior mood lighting, head restraints for front and rear occupants, and an Executive Package for the rear seats. The latter includes adjustable rear seats with massage functions, neck and shoulder heating, as well as an individual tablet to control the MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) multimedia system.
Add to that fingerprint recognition to find your driver profile, or the head-up display showing augmented reality navigation on the windshield. The future, indeed!
With the EQS 580 4Matic sedan, you'll be pampered with heated and ventilated front and rear seats, a massage system for the front seats, as well as a four-zone automatic climate control system, all for the ultimate comfort of all occupants. And that's not counting the Burmester audio system; the ultimate!
Up front, the effect will be extraordinary thanks to the optional Hyperscreen instrument panel, but really, no one will want to go without it. In fact, the entire dashboard is glazed to hide screens (12.3 in. for the instrument cluster, 17.7 in. for the multimedia system and 12.3 in. in front of the passenger's seat) that will constantly inform us about the vehicle's status, offer multimedia system functionalities, etc.

Electric Discharge: Extraordinary Power
The Mercedes-Benz EQS 580 4Matic will feature a 107.8 kWh battery, which will translate into a range of 547 kilometres. The power of this version is rated at 516 horsepower and 611 lb-ft of torque, which promises to be interesting. With a motor on each axle, you'll be able to take advantage of all-wheel drive. It will take four seconds and counting to go from 0 to 100 km/h.
And when it comes to comfort, the ultimate is waiting for you. Each EQS will benefit from an adaptive air suspension. Even better, a directional system will allow the rear wheels to swivel up to 4.5 degrees. An additional option will even allow them to swivel up to 10 degrees. This technology is intended to make the 205.4-inch piece easier to maneuver in tight spots and increase its stability at high speeds.
When it comes to charging, the car reaches its maximum potential (200 kW) very quickly. Thus, as soon as it is plugged in, it allows an intense energy recovery. It runs at full speed until it has recovered 20% of its capacity. The power gradually decreases thereafter and stabilizes around 115 kW when the 80% capacity is reached: 31 minutes to go from 4% to 80% of its charge; 25 minutes from 20% to 80%. No other electric vehicle is doing better at the moment!
