    Road Test

    Like the fully-electric EQS sedan we also tested, the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV is quick, quiet, and luxurious. Its optional third-row seat is a rarity among electric SUVs. It earned a high road-test score, but its Overall Score is hurt by Mercedes’ brand reliability. Plus, its unnervingly spongy brake pedal and distracting controls create daily frustrations.

    Owner Reports

    Worse Better
    Owner Satisfaction Owner Satisfaction To learn about satisfaction, CR has collected survey data from our annual survey on more than half a million vehicles. Our subscribers provide great insights into their satisfaction by answering one simple question: If they had it to do all over again, would they definitely buy or lease the same model? In addition, respondents also rate their cars in six categories: driving experience, comfort, value, styling, audio, and climate systems. N/A indicates that we did not receive a large enough sample size to provide data for a specific year. An X indicates that the vehicle was not manufactured for a specific year.
    This car is new and detailed owner satisfaction will be available at a later date.
