Mercedes-Benz EQS 580 4MATIC Now Available in Canada
Mercedes-Benz has announced today that the brand’s new flagship EQS electric car will be arriving at dealers across Canada.
Starting at a price of $144,300, the new EQS is an all-electric alternative to the brand’s S-Class full-size luxury sedan. As is the theme with ultra luxurious EV sedans, the EQS features a fastback design complete with rear opening hatch. Inside there is a single, 56-inch curved glass dashboard insert that houses three different display screens.
