There is no purely electric version of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. If you want something like that, you’ll need to go with the Mercedes-Benz EQS Sedan. The “something like that” is the important bit there, because the EQS is awfully different than the S-Class. Just look at it, for one. Its design encompasses a wildly different body style that includes a vast hatchbacked trunk and a back seat that, while similar in terms of legroom, has less headroom and fewer available functional opulences. The EQS is more like an electric cross between an S-Class and a CLS.
As much as I like the EQS, I’d rather have this S-Class. Just look at it, for one. Thankfully, if you’re thinking the same thing, there is still an electrified S-Class: this S580e. It’s a plug-in hybrid, and a damn good one, too. Not only is it arguably more appealing than an EQS, it’s also the S-Class I’d get. Hands down, no question.
