EQS 450+

The Mercedes-Benz EQS 450+ is a 5-seat saloon with rear-wheel drive, sold new from 2023 to 2024, when it cost £105,610 in the UK, and now only available second-hand. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 6.1 seconds, quicker than 55% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 395 miles (635 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That puts it 7th of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK for range, and 5th of 48 saloons.

It uses around 3.6 mi/kWh (171 Wh/km), more efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 108.4 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 169 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 436 miles (702 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L). The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.

Second-hand, a 2023 example is estimated at £40,100–£44,400 and a 2024 one at £50,200–£56,500, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2023 car should still manage about 372 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
