What's New for 2027

The most significant update for 2027 is the standardization of the MBUX Hyperscreen across both models. The three-display system spans a 56-inch curved glass surface and merges a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a 17.7-inch OLED central touchscreen, and a 12.3-inch OLED front-passenger display into one seamless unit. That is a substantial cabin upgrade over configurations where this feature required an option package on prior model years.

Both models now include Dolby Atmos and Apple Spatial Audio as standard features through the Burmester® 3D Surround Sound system, which runs 15 speakers at 710 watts. DIGITAL LIGHT LED headlamps with lightband and DIGITAL LIGHT projection functions are also standard on both the EQS 400 4MATIC® SUV and EQS 550 4MATIC® SUV for 2027.

MBUX Hyperscreen technical overview

The EQS 550 4MATIC® SUV adds AMG Line Exterior as standard for 2027, which had previously been an option on that model. It also includes MANUFAKTUR Nappa leather upholstery and multicontour front seats with massage as standard, features that add considerable cost when ordered separately.

The 118-kWh battery, CCS DC fast-charging compatibility at up to 200 kW, 10% to 80% charging in 31 minutes, and the Mercedes-Benz NACS DC Fast-charging Adapter accessory remain in place for 2027, giving owners broad access to compatible public-charging options.

Model Lineup

The 2027 EQS SUV is offered in two models. Both seat five standard, with optional third-row seating for up to seven passengers. Cargo capacity runs 23 to 74 cubic feet across the lineup.

Performance and Powertrain

Both EQS SUV models share the same 118-kWh Advanced EV battery and single-speed automatic transmission, but the motor output differs significantly.

The EQS 400 4MATIC® SUV puts 355 hp and 590 lb-ft to all four wheels via fully variable 4MATIC® all-wheel drive with Torque Shift, reaching 60 mph in 5.9 seconds. The EQS 550 4MATIC® SUV scales to 536 hp and 633 lb-ft, reducing that sprint to 4.6 seconds.

DC fast-charging at up to 200 kW brings the battery from 10% to 80% in 31 minutes. AC charging runs at 9.6 kW on a J1772 connector, covering 10% to 100% in 14 hours. The Mercedes-Benz NACS DC Fast-charging Adapter supports compatible NACS-equipped public chargers, including select Tesla Supercharger stations.

Both models include Intelligent Energy Recovery with steering-wheel paddles, ECO Assist, DYNAMIC SELECT drive modes, an innovative heat pump for efficient thermal management, and Downhill Speed Regulation. Towing capacity is rated at 3,500 lbs with the available Class II trailer hitch.

AIRMATIC® adaptive self-leveling suspension with a 4-wheel multilink setup is standard on both models. Standard rear-axle steering reaches 4.5 degrees; the 10-degree option is available on both models and meaningfully tightens the turning circle beyond the standard 39-foot wall-to-wall figure.

Who It's For, vs the Prior Year

The 2027 EQS SUV is a strong choice for buyers who want a fully electric three-row luxury SUV where the technology, cabin quality, and safety suite are not optional-package dependent. The standardization of the MBUX Hyperscreen, DIGITAL LIGHT headlamps, Dolby Atmos, and AMG Line Exterior on the 550 reduces the gap between the base spec and a fully equipped build, which simplifies purchasing decisions.

Buyers cross-shopping the 2026 model year will find the 2027 builds add meaningful standard content without requiring additional option packages to reach the same level of refinement. The 118-kWh battery, 200 kW DC fast-charging ceiling, and the NACS adapter support all carry forward, keeping long-distance usability strong.

The EQS 400 4MATIC® SUV fits buyers who want the full luxury and technology package with a 265 kW motor system. The EQS 550 4MATIC® SUV is the performance pick at 536 hp, 4.6 seconds to 60 mph, and a standard AMG Line Exterior.

Feature availability, package content, charging access, adapter compatibility, warranty coverage, range, towing capacity, performance figures, equipment, and third-row availability may vary by model, production timing, battery state, driving conditions, and vehicle-specific configuration. Confirm all specifications and coverage terms on the specific vehicle before purchase or lease.
