What is the difference between the 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS 450+ and the EQS 580 4MATIC available in Canada?
The 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS 450+ was the entry-level version of the flagship electric sedan, offered in Canada from approximately $124,900 CAD. It featured a single rear electric motor producing 329 hp with a 107.8 kWh battery, offering a certified range of approximately 692 km according to Natural Resources Canada β the longest range of any luxury electric sedan available in Canada in 2022. The EQS 580 4MATIC, from $148,000 CAD, added a front axle electric motor for all-wheel drive, bringing total output to 516 hp but reducing range to approximately 609 km due to added weight. The 450+ accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 6.2 seconds versus 4.3 seconds for the 580. For Canadian buyers primarily making long summer road trips, the 450+ with its superior range is often preferred. For regions with harsh winters or the winding roads of British Columbia, the 580 4MATIC provides added traction confidence.
