At 160k, forget it. When you have Range Rovers, Bentley GTs, Astons, etc at that price point, its silly to convince someone into an EQS AMG whatever it is. And for the discearning AMG customer, they'll just have a car with a proper engine instead. Just look at SLS prices for example - they're climbing fast!

Even if I were rich enough to be in the market for a luxury EV, I would not even consider it. I don't have any issue with the looks. I actually have seen it in real life and like the looks, but the massive pointless infotainment center and lack of physical buttons, decades of tested and perfected ergonomics for cars, is totally off-putting. Another thing is, this Merc with obvious quality issues cost twice as much as the soon to arrive Lotus luxury EV SUV, which actually outperforms it. The Lotus would also be much more special in every way.

Seing how it's built and what it costs I think the overall verdict is actually quite generous. This doesn't even feel like a proper Mercedes, let alone a top of the range one. If it's going to be built like a Tesla there is no point in this car or the EQ range as a whole. I would have the Taycan every day of the week over this.

I have this and love it. All the negative comments are just quite common english jealousy. This is a stunningly beautiful car in person and is fast as hell with room for 5. Fit and finish is massively better then a Tesla and holds up to MB standards. Sitting in it feels like a spaceship with effortless power. My last car was the MB S600 with a V12 and the AMG EQS is much more effortless power by a long shot. Also, it doesnt come off in the video but the car is humungous. Overall A- and only because the headroom is a little tight to improve drag and charge time. Finally, I have no idea why this is £160k when I just purchased mine in the US for $116k, nuts.

Sometimes they are called executive cars. The car was never titled. I have been only buying manager cars for over 20 years. You have to be willing to either travel or have it shipped to find the exact car you want but its well worth it. The manufacturers give the dealerships a credit for this. Typically 20%-25% discounts. The sticker was about $159k USD. I would never buy a new car that wasn’t a manager car so to me those discounts are always available.
