2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS 450+ Interior Review: Luxury worth getting used to. https://youtu.be/CTSbxDQCVHM
There's a lot to take in, but it's an artful space.
We've driven the Mercedes-Benz EQS, and written about it quite a bit, but this electric sedan is one where the interior gets as much attention as the range or performance. Usually, the focus is on the intense Hyperscreen, but there's more to the EQS interior than just the tech ... and it all takes some getting used to.
But, sure, let's start with the elephant in the car. That array of displays is a bit intimidating at first. After a week of driving, I was still fumbling our way through it, wanting to pull the car over to navigate my way through. There's just a lot going on, especially when you to make some setting adjustments. Eventually, once you have all your settings configured and saved to your driver profile (which is accessed with a biometric fingerprint scanner on the center console) you might have a lot less to fiddle with on a regular basis. It takes time, though.
That said, it's all artfully integrated into the interior — indeed serving as a showcase piece — feeling like it deserves its place in this luxurious EV. Your passenger will probably appreciate having a screen of their own, so long as they aren't prone to screen-induced motion sickness.
If you don't want the Hyperscreen, though, you don't have to have it. While it comes standard in the EQS 580 and and AMG versions, it is a $7,230 option in the 450+ that otherwise comes standard with the same interface as the S-Class. We wouldn't exactly call that a step down.
And of course, the shiny Hyperscreen is complemented by a generous amount of interior ambient lighting. This is something we've come to expect from Mercedes interiors, and it only seems fitting in this futuristic cockpit. When not driving, it's pleasant just to sit inside the EQS and unwind a bit in the luminescence before entering that harshly-lit grocery store or cacophony of kids and pets waiting behind your front door.
Also, take a look at that "Natural Grain Yacht-Design Brown Walnut with Aluminum Lines" on the center console above (a $1,515 option). It shows up on the door armrests, too, but it would be nice to see more of it throughout the cabin.
