Build Quality Analysis! Here’s How A $160,000 EQS Is Put Together 

I personally prefer the non-hyper screen version due to the fingerprints and gloss. Love the drive of the car though.

No rear heated seats? They musta' put all the engineering into the front cup holders and rear seat head pillows. My car doesn't have 'em either, but it's also about $116,000 less, so there's that. As always Coleton, good video.

I have this car. That trunk lid hits the ceiling of most covered or underground car parks. It now has scratches and chips all over the fender. Also you HAVE to apply leather conditioner every day or so, on the driver seats otherwise it starts to look like crap before you know it.

I like that the charging port lid is mechanical and not actuated via electrics-less expense when damaged and not gimmicky. I wonder whether the handles wobble intentionally for frozen weather conditions? These are all over my neighborhood. I’m not keen on the exterior styling and much prefer the one MB showed at the car shows versus this production styling.

My old VW golf had a hidden rear camera/handle/emblem. Such a good idea, and a nice feature for $19k car.

I like seeing your opinions on the car from a detailer perspective. A point of view most folks don’t think about when buying cars is what will maintaining it look like. Thank you.

UI looks Windows 7 inspired…

$160K for a vehicle whose design looks like it was based on the drawing of 6yo who was told to draw a car.

Reading these comments is hilarious. This car is super premium in person (and in video). Its stunning and light years better than a Tesla build. Its not even close. Its pure luxury with AMG performance to boot. Its listed at $156k but I bought mine as a dealership manager car with $3k miles on it for $116k. Its amazing.

No rear heated seats is absolutely insane at that price point. Definitely the place to be at night tho, lights look amazing.

5:30 I have the biggest and baddest crome package on my 2020 Mustang and people love it even n an area where special cars are the norm especlly mustangs...

great comprehensive overview on its build quality, surprised the door handles were so wobbly 😳

That thing is anything but S class. They skimped a lot on premium materials.

Ive had an EQS for almost a year. My screen has never looked like that. The nice rear is extra, that is how MB makes ist money....

Rear heated seats are optional as well as a lot of other rear interior upgrades and different seats.

Taycans range is more than 100 miles shorter. Is does, however, handle as a proper Porsche. Different cars.

It feels like they tried to use premium things but we're forced to go to their general parts bins for too many things. Not my kind of vehicle though at any budget.

When they mess up the back seat that badly it's hard to justify that car over a Taycan Cross Turismo 4S. In my mind the main reason to buy the EQS over the Taycan is you want back seat room and they scuffed it.

I get the technology and all, but dammit… 1-). 277MPG compared to the almost 400MPG the same model gives in Europe? 2-). The markups or “market adjustments” the dealerships want to slap on it? It’s more than evident you’re being punished for choosing an import, over a domestic. This is one of the many MANY cars, at least to me, makes no sense owning stateside.

IMO Mercedes has really cheapened out on their vehicles these days; I mean for this price you would expect everything to be ultra-premium with little plastic use. The Porsche Taycan is definitely way better in view when you compare the price and is the best built vehicle money can buy basically. And reliability has taken a big hit for the Mercedes ICE models. Hopefully the reliability is better on the electric Mercedes. But I'm still skeptical.

That hatch reminds me of a python unhinging its jaw.

Damn it all just looks so cheap … thanks for this

Man, the body lines don't line up at all😂😂

160k holy shit

$160k to look like a Buick. It will never be a tesla.

I would buy a 2004 Maybach before this car.

I remember when Mercedes was a high end luxury brand. Call me crazy but as of 2023 .. I’ll take a brand new Cadillac in a heartbeat over any ev Mercedes

Its German what do you expect ?

S like Schrott

Just say no to vinyl seats!

All those stupid and pointless interior features just add on money to the asking price. These cars are so poorly built it’s hilarious.

Looks so cheap 🤮
