Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV

The Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV sets the benchmark for luxury with its 56-inch Hyperscreen dashboard and a whisper-quiet cabin that registers just 62 decibels at highway speeds. Despite a starting price of $104,400—34% higher than the Kia EV9—it offers a 305-mile range and a 0-60 mph time of 4.1 seconds, faster than the average luxury EV. Its air suspension and rear-wheel steering make it heavier at 6,000 pounds than the Rivian R2, but the interior space is unmatched, with 42 cubic feet of cargo capacity behind the second row. A data point: the EQS SUV consumes 28 kWh per 100 miles, 8% more efficient than typical rivals in its price band.
