Here is our first look at what could well be the last Mercedes EQS SUV. As Mercedes-Benz begins its transition to new multi-energy platforms, the dedicated EQ range is preparing to bow out. This process has already started with the new compact CLA, which shares its body between its combustion and electric versions, and the same fate awaits every model in the brand.
A limited update for a doomed model
While awaiting the launch of a new flagship SUV, the EQS retains a place in the brand’s showrooms. Our spies captured this restyled EQS SUV during tests on European roads, sporting camouflage on its front and rear bumpers. Despite the disguise, the brand’s new three-point light signature is perfectly recognizable, identical to that seen on the new C-Class.
An uncertain future for the American market
This is a limited update, certainly, but given that Mercedes has already confirmed the outright discontinuation of the EQ range, any sign of life is promising. Considering the current economic climate, it’s possible that the restyled EQS SUV may never be marketed in the United States, where deliveries to dealerships could be suspended indefinitely as early as September.
