Explore the everyday behind the wheel of an ultra-stylish 2022 EQS Sedan or Tesla Model S. Both electric vehicles have unique design qualities, such as “one bow” design on the 2022 EQS Sedan, which highlights cab-forward proportions and a fastback-like rear end. The Tesla Model S is redesigned with a wider chassis for sportier style aesthetics and performance capabilities.
On the 2022 EQS Sedan you’ll also find 100 percent exterior LED lighting for better nighttime visibility, as well as a panorama roof with a fully functional glass sunroof that tilts and slides. Additionally, its all-new architecture is built to accommodate the electric vehicle powertrain by incorporating smooth underbody paneling and self-lowering air suspension.
Premium comfort and convenience features are at your fingertips in the 2022 EQS Sedan and Tesla Model S. Refined interior materials — like leather upholstery and a Nappa leather steering wheel on the 2022 EQS Sedan — add a touch of modern elegance, while highly responsive technology features elevate your driving experience.
Infotainment offerings on the 2022 EQS Sedan and Tesla Model S take this advancement to the next level. The all-new MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) Hyperscreen — standard on the 2022 EQS 580 4MATIC® Sedan — involves an expansive touchscreen set-up, including a 12.3-inch driver information display, a 17.7-inch center stack touchscreen, and a 12.3-inch front passenger display, all of which are fingerprint and scratch resistant. The Tesla Model S has a 17-inch tilting center stack touchscreen, as well as a center rear console touchscreen so passengers can adjust climate controls and the audio system.
Other interior and technology features on the 2022 EQS Sedan include:
You’ll have peace of mind no matter which vehicle you select thanks to comparable new vehicle warranties. The 2022 EQS Sedan has a 48-month/50,000-mile (whichever comes first) New Vehicle Limited Warranty, and the Tesla Model S has a four-year/50,000-mile (whichever comes first) Basic Vehicle Limited Warranty.
The 2022 EQS Sedan and Tesla Model S employ forward-thinking safety technology, including a host of driver assistance features. For example, the parking system — called PARKTRONIC with active parking assist on the 2022 EQS Sedan — helps the driver navigate parallel and perpendicular parking spots by allowing the vehicle to take over the shifting, steering, and braking. Lane change assistance is also standard to help you switch lanes more confidently.
Other safety features on the 2022 EQS Sedan include:
The 2022 EQS Sedan and Tesla Model S both have two different powertrain options to choose from. You can equip the 2022 EQS Sedan with a single rear 245 kilowatt permanently synchronous electric motor or dual 385 kilowatt permanently synchronous electric motors. The Tesla Model S has dual-motor and tri-motor powertrains available. Both vehicles are available with all-wheel drive (AWD), the 2022 EQS Sedan with fully variable 4MATIC® AWD.
Something that you should take into consideration are charging capabilities and availability. The 2022 EQS Sedan has multiple charging options as all Mercedes-Benz electric models are part of a quickly expanding network of public charging stations. Plus, you can use Mercedes me Charge to easily find charging stations when you’re on the go. You can also have a Mercedes-Benz charger installed at your home with the help of ChargePoint and Qmerit charge-at-home services.
Tesla Model S on-the-go charging options are a bit more limited — the fastest option is at a Tesla Supercharger charging station, though you can charge at third-party charging stations with an adapter. An at-home charging station is also available.
You’ll find seating for five passengers in both the 2022 EQS Sedan and Tesla Model S. Cargo capacity is more generous in the 2022 EQS Sedan with up to 63 cubic feet of space. The Tesla Model S has only 28 cubic feet of cargo space.
