Pros & Cons
- Pros
- Cons
Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV
- Price. Whole lotta car for ~ Rs 9 lakh over a GLS, and just ~ Rs 2 lakh over the EQE SUV.
- Looks rich! Large size, huge 21” wheels and a sleek silhouette ensures you announce your arrival (subtly).
- Loaded with technology: 56” (combined) Hyperscreen on the dashboard, rear touchscreens, Burmester audio, massage seats — you get everything you want and more.
- Large 122kWh battery should have a real world range well in excess of 500km. It’s deceptively quick as well — 0-100kmph takes just 4.7 seconds!
Mercedes-Benz GLS
- Still has a massive road presence
- Gets well-bolstered seats in the first and second row
- Packs a lot of tech with as many as five screens on board
- Powerful and well-refined engine options
- Offers quite a comfortable ride quality over all types of roads
Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV
- Weird feature misses: cooled seats, rear seat sunblinds are not expected at this price point.
- ADAS calibration is best suited for well-marked highways. Feels overwhelming in chaotic Indian conditions.
- Third row is best suited for use by children.
Mercedes-Benz GLS
- Third-row seating is not the best for adults
- Some cabin design details could have been cleaner
- Limited usability of the boot with all rows occupied
