  1. It has its own strong character for sure, but I would not call it pretty or elegant like an S-series, it does though have a modernistic next-gen soft human thematic. I get that they have worked hard on the aero and it may have influenced the final design a lot, but that A-pillar to hood height is massive, especially in 3/4 front view and I do not fancy that much, especially since there is no storage in the front. Difficult to judge but the sound in the Taycan (from Vids) sounds a lot more exciting vs very heavy in the EQS. The Interior is beautiful and I noticed that the Concept Car Image from the EQS has been removed for a start design surface - in any case, the usage of the passenger screens UX is apparently rather limited, but hey it can be upgraded later on. Overall I am sure that many Mercedes fans and also other customers from other brands will consider it, but before some solutions are found to lighter battery technology, the super luxury brands will continue to have immense weights which in some aspects is contradictory to the whole purpose of going electric. Remember that the BMW i3 on the release in 2016 had a weight of only 1,195 kg (2,635 lb) as well as a lot of recyclable materials – Just sad that the main BMW department was so reluctant to engage with the new electric department at the time, letting Tesla getting ahead by a lot. The best thing about the EQS is its range potential and comfort – but let's just say Germany got a very slow start into the E-mobility and might still be struggling for some years before their IT departments are fully up to speed – never the less the EQS feels like Mercedes mean it, and they'd better with all the concepts they have produced over the last 5-10 years.
