2022 Mercedes EQS Review // Not The S-Class You Think It Is

The 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS 580 Sedan (~$169,950 CAD as specced, $133,655 USD as specced) is a luxurious new EV that aims to raise the bar for what luxury means in an electric vehicle. Inside, it has what Mercedes proudly calls the Hyperscreen. A 56 inch wide piece of glass that houses multiple different screens that are seamlessly integrated together. This makes for a gorgeous design for the driver and their passengers, and it combines extremely well with the vibrant ambient lighting. But interior aesthetics aside, how does the EQS 580 perform as a luxury EV? And with an ‘S’ in its name, can the EQS match the comfort and style of the legendary S-Class? Thomas and James aim to find out! We hope you enjoy the episode. SUBSCRIBE!

That crossover with LUCID Air is so satisfying to watch. Especially if you have watched the Air video already. It's like those amazing Easter eggs, throw backs in the big franchise movies.

Been watching for 2 years now. Have to say the production makes me feel like I'm watching some sort of documentary or tv show. Definitely the best car reviews on youtube. Yall be keeping it straight no bs.

the lucid air timeline crossover is super impressive and well thought out, well done guys this is amazing

[MCHuang]

This car is awesome and I would love to have one. But lets be real, on the outside, if it didn't have the Mercedes badge, you would think it's a Civic at a glance

[garrettlake]

You guys make the viewers feel like friends. Keep the great work coming!

[iamthetriplet]

The chemistry between you guys is so cool and admirable. Your ability to consistently deliver top class content on a regular is crazy. Great work guys, I wish I could support your channel more but I guess I’ll make do with my subscription and likes, lol. Stay safe🙌🏾

Great episode. This is the first Throttle House where I consciously realized I probably couldn’t do what you do, and it comes down to the writing AND the improvised filmed discussions. You guys use pretty useful, playful, colorful analogies and metaphors… Kudos!

12:56 "if we had long blond hair we would do that" omg hahahaha

Gotta admit, I first thought that the Lucid review crossover was a throwaway gag, but I was caught by surprise. Genius. Excellent review as always!

The crossover timeline gag is the greatest comedic callback and so rewarding to finally see. Even more rewarding since the EQS and Lucid videos weren’t released in tandem. So good!

[richatcher]

You two are so dang good. Informative, entertaining, exceptionally well executed - definitely a go-to car review channel for me! Well done!

[johankwe]

Thomas & James. I've said it and I'll say it again. Love your reviews! I like how you tell it like it is, no fear or favor. When the day come when I can afford some of the cars you reviewed, you videos will definitely play major roles in my buying decisions. Great job. Keep it real my friends!

[richardnavratil]

Between you and Savagegeese, the production value you guys have in your videos are some of the best of all automotive reviews I've ever seen. Keep it up!

[nickjohanson]

Great review and that Lucid crossover scene was incredible. I know there’s air drag benefits, but have to think a better looking car would sell more than the range gained from saving .0002 on a drag coefficient.

[chiluco]

As always a great review hidden behind funny jokes. Valid criticism not found on any other reviews. Keep it up with this great format! 👍

[kabirudhas]

My god! the crossover with lucid was amazing...

Great job with the video guys - the writing, editing, jokes, valid criticisms and the overall quality was top notch! It's great to see your channel consistently improving.

As someone who is also 6'6", can you have a can Harrison fit moment for every car? Speaking for the tall guys we always wonder if we could fit especially in sports cars.

Hi. It's probably been mentioned in the comments, but just in case... Concerning the doors of the EQS and your disappointment in the lack of self closing etc, the car can actually be programmed to recognize your approach, open the door for you, and when you get in and apply the brake pedal, it will auto close for you. I know you guys have quite a bit of autos and info to cover, but if you're going to bag on something, you should perform your due diligence as to not mislead or misinform the consumer. That being said, still one of my fav review channels! Good luck guys!

Somehow this doesn’t look as majestic and as imposing as the normal S Class. Long way to go yet.
