The Mercedes EQS SUV comes in two- and three-row versions.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nCharging, however, should be identical \u2014 or nearly so \u2014 in both models. The EQS sedan, we know sees its battery pack go from a 10% state-of-charge to 80% in 31 minutes using one of the newer 400V DC public quick-chargers. Using a 240-volt Level 2 charger, a motorist can go from drained to fully charged in a bit over 11 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A proficient off-roader<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
A couple final notes: the EQS SUV will come exclusively with an air suspension. And all versions will feature rear-wheel steering, with the back wheels able to turn a significant 10 degrees. That will offer numerous advantages. On-road, it will be able to maneuver more nimbly than its size would suggest in urban environments. And the system will enhance high-speed handling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the off-road test drive, meanwhile, I found the system let it take corners like a significantly smaller vehicle, a useful feature when negotiating tight trails. Add the Mercedes version of off-road features like hill descent control and the EQS SUV proved surprisingly adept at off-roading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
