The Mercedes-Benz EQS Sedan and SUV for Seamless Hamptons Commutes

The Mercedes EQS revolutionizes luxury electric driving with whisper-quiet models that boast impressive range and smart tech, transforming daily commutes between Southampton, East Hampton, Montauk, and New York City into an experience you’ll genuinely enjoy. Both the EQS Sedan and the EQS SUV blend eco-friendliness with Mercedes-Benz’s famous luxury craftsmanship—perfect for your modern Hamptons lifestyle.

Range, Charging, and Local Driving

The EQS 450+ sedan gives you up to 390 miles per charge, while the SUV offers up to 317 miles, depending on the model. Real-world tests show even better results — the 2024 EQS SUV hit 407 miles in Edmunds testing, and the EQS 450+ went beyond 400 miles.

For local charging, the new Rivian Charging Outpost at 1 Montauk Highway, Southampton, has six DC fast-charging stalls (including a pull-through bay). It’s open 24/7 and compatible with CCS and NACS connectors. On the road, EQS models can charge from 10%–80% in about 31 minutes on a 200 kW DC fast charger. At home, a 240-V Level 2 setup can fully recharge the battery overnight in roughly 14 hours.

Regenerative braking helps you maximize range in stop-and-go traffic and smooths out driving on Sunrise Highway and Route 27. Both models include MB.CHARGE Public and Plug & Charge for effortless sessions, while the navigation system plans routes with charging stops when needed.

Comfort and Luxury for Every Mile

The seating in these two models fits different lifestyle needs. The EQS Sedan seats five, with cargo space from 22 cubic feet to 63 cubic feet with the seats folded. The EQS SUV seats five as standard, offers an available third row for seven-passenger flexibility, and provides 23–74 cubic feet of cargo space depending on configuration.

Materials and craftsmanship are what you expect from Mercedes-Benz. Available Nappa leather, natural wood trim, and refined details create a calm, modern cabin. Along with zero tailpipe emissions, EQS models incorporate recycled and renewable materials where possible, including components made with UBQ, a plastic substitute derived from mixed household waste.

Comfort features include available multicontour massage front seats, heated and ventilated seating, and available four-zone climate control. Ambient lighting with 64 colors and a 15-speaker Burmester® surround system elevate the experience. In the SUV, available rear entertainment displays help keep passengers occupied on longer trips.

Seamless Tech for a Smarter Commute

The available MBUX Hyperscreen spans the dash under a single 56-inch curved glass surface, integrating a 12.3-inch instrument display, a 17.7-inch OLED center display, and a 12.3-inch OLED passenger display. It uses eight CPU cores, 24 GB of RAM, and 12 haptic actuators that buzz under your fingertips for precise feedback. Voice control understands 27 languages, and the AI learns your habits; if you use the heated seats every morning, it’ll start suggesting them before you ask.

Both body styles offer biometric fingerprint login, a wireless charging pad, and advanced driver-assistance features to reduce fatigue on long trips between the Hamptons and the city. Navigation optimizes routes for charging, factoring in traffic and charger power.
