A new set of EPA ratings reveals that the upcoming 2024 model year Mercedes-Benz EQS will have at least a few more miles of range.<\/p>\n
There are four versions of the Mercedes-Benz EQS on the market in the United States\u2014the rear-wheel drive EQS 450+, all-wheel drive EQS 450 4Matic, and EQS 580 4Matic, as well as the performance-oriented AMG EQS 4Matic+.<\/p>\n
The 2024 model year EQS 450+ will have an EPA Combined range of 352 miles, while the EQS 450 4Matic and EQS 580 4Matic, both 345 miles. It means a marginal increase by two and five miles, compared to the 2023 MY, which is equipped with a 108.4-kilowatt-hour battery.<\/p>\n
The biggest change concerns the AMG EQS 4Matic+, which will have 28 miles of 10% more range than before\u2014305 miles versus 277 miles.<\/p>\n
2024 Mercedes-Benz EQS EPA range (vs. 2023 model year):<\/p>\n
Because Mercedes-Benz still only shows the 2023 MY EQS on its website, we don’t know details regarding what caused the improved range of the AMG EQS.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Energy consumption, including charging losses, of the Mercedes-Benz EQS 450+ with 20-inch wheels, is estimated at 96 MPGe or about 351 watt-hours per mile.<\/p>\n
A very similar result concerns the all-wheel drive EQS, while the AMG EQS has almost 15% higher total energy consumption (411 Wh\/mi), according to EPA.<\/p>\n
Not all 2023MY EQS were listed on the EPA website, but we can compare the 2024MY with a mix of available 2022\/2023MY EQS ratings, to see whether there are any interesting changes. As it turns out, there are some odd differences between particular versions, including a higher range and higher energy consumption (EQS 450+, 450 4Matic). The numbers are difficult to explain\u2014there might be some changes in the available battery capacity, powertrain, software, or wheels\/tires.<\/p>\n
The 2024 Mercedes-Benz AMG EQS has over 6% lower total energy consumption than previously, which when combined with a 10% increased range, suggests that maybe the available battery capacity is higher by a few percent as well.<\/p>\n
