The EQS is scheduled to arrive in US dealerships in the fall of 2021. It will be available in two models namely the EQS 450+ and the EQS 580 4MATIC. Each will also come with three trims that include Premium, Exclusive, and Pinnacle.

The base model of the EV is offered with a single-motor, rear-drive system with 329 hp and 406 lb-ft. Taking the 580 4MATIC equips it with a twin-motor, all-wheel-drive system with 516 hp and 611 lb-ft of torque. Both are energized by a 108.7 kWh battery pack. There are no details about the EPA electric range of the auto yet, but as a reminder, the WLTP numbers say that it can reach 487 miles in a single charge.

A high-performance variant of the car, the Mercedes-AMG EQS, is also on the way with an expected market rollout in 2022. The unit debuted at the recent Munich Auto Show that promises up to 751 hp and 752 lb-ft. The configuration takes it from 0 to 62 mph in just 3.4 seconds and tops at 155 mph.
