Mercedes-Benz has released a preview of its 2025 EQS electric vehicle model that comes with a new grille design featuring chrome slats against a deep black background along with a standing star on its hood. With just those changes, the upcoming EQS more clearly resembles Benz’s S-Class vehicles, its counterpart in the automaker’s non-EV lineup, than its predecessor does. In addition to the more traditional Benz look and upgrades that make its seats more comfortable, the 2025 EQS will also come with a larger battery.
Its new battery has a larger usable capacity of 118 kWh, compared to the older model’s 108.4 kWh. Of course, the higher the kWh, the longer an EV’s range is — the first EQS had an EPA-estimated 350 mile-range, so expect Mercedes to announce a longer range than that. The 2025 EQS will feature new regenerative braking software that the automaker says can recover more energy for use, as well. That will also contribute to a longer range, lesser use of the car’s brake discs and a better pedal feel.
The automaker hasn’t announced how much the model would cost yet, but prices will likely start at $100,000-plus when it arrives at US dealerships later this year.
