Frequently asked questions
Is the Mercedes-Benz EQS worth the extra £7,730 over the Mercedes-Benz EQV?
The Mercedes-Benz EQS costs £7,730 more than the Mercedes-Benz EQV. For that premium it adds 231 miles more WLTP range, 90 kW faster peak rapid charging and 95 kW more power. The Mercedes-Benz EQV is not just cheaper - it also offers 420 litres more boot space and 3 more seats (8 versus 5). On EVcarsguide's combined category scores, the Mercedes-Benz EQS comes out ahead overall.
Which is cheaper to own over 5 years, the Mercedes-Benz EQS or the Mercedes-Benz EQV?
The Mercedes-Benz EQV is £7,730 cheaper to buy. The Mercedes-Benz EQS is cheaper to charge, roughly £176 a year versus £272 for the Mercedes-Benz EQV, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the Mercedes-Benz EQV comes out roughly £7,250 cheaper overall. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.
What are the Mercedes-Benz EQS and Mercedes-Benz EQV like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 378 miles for the Mercedes-Benz EQS and 185 miles for the Mercedes-Benz EQV - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Mercedes-Benz EQS goes roughly 193 miles further between charging stops.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Mercedes-Benz EQS or the Mercedes-Benz EQV?
The two are within 2 mm on width, so neither is meaningfully easier to thread into a tight space. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 474 mm of total clearance for the Mercedes-Benz EQS and about 472 mm of total clearance for the Mercedes-Benz EQV. The Mercedes-Benz EQS also turns in a 0.9 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Mercedes-Benz EQS or the Mercedes-Benz EQV?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Mercedes-Benz EQS and 84% for the Mercedes-Benz EQV. That is close enough that capacity loss should not decide between them. Both use NMC-type cells, so for daily use keep the charge limit near 80% to slow degradation.
