Our opinion

The practical view.

“Shortlist it for the way it fits your household, not for a headline acceleration or range number.”

Why it belongs on a shortlist

  • 112 kWh usable battery
  • 610 L rear cargo area
  • 270 kW rear-wheel drive

Trim guidance: The local grade table lists 330 kW DC and 11 kW AC. Confirm charging and options on the ordered car. The Mercedes-Benz press photo shows a European EQS.

Mercedes-Benz Australia advertises up to 810 km WLTP. Local launch reporting estimates about 788 km on the standard Australian 21-inch wheels, which Compare uses for its planning allowance.

Absence of a listed issue is not a reliability claim. Official recalls, manufacturer campaigns, repeated reports, isolated reports and editorial observations are never blended into a fake failure rate.

TechManPat practical fit

Not tested - yet.

Catalogue research is not a physical family-living test, so this vehicle does not receive a TechManPat Tested badge.

The future test covers a rear-facing child seat, pram and shopping, dog crate, boot opening, rear doors, adult rear comfort, easy entry, parking, visibility, controls and real-world efficiency.
