2023 EQS Sedan Safety

The Mercedes EQS Sedan's safety levels have not been tested by either the NHTSA or IIHS, but with Mercedes' reputation for building safe cars and a standard safety feature list longer than the Berlin wall, we're sure that this is a pretty safe car.

2023 EQS Sedan Key Safety Features

The 2023 EQS Sedan comes with seven airbags, including a driver's knee airbag, front-side impact airbags, and side curtain airbags. You can add an extra two to the rear seats through available packages, however. ABS brakes, assisted LED headlights, and stability and traction control are all standards while advanced driver assistance features include active parking assist, emergency stop assist, exit warning, evasive steering, lane-change assist, lane-keep assist, active brake assist with cross-traffic assist, and much more.

2023 EQS Sedan Reliability

In its first model year on sale (2022), the Mercedes EQS Sedan suffered from eight recalls (correct at the time of writing). These ranged from a blank rearview camera display to faulty hands-off detection for the Distronic adaptive cruise control. Disabled rear lighting, a faulty overhead control panel, infotainment issues, and a fire risk on some models due to poor electrical connections were also some of the problems encountered. However, at present, the 2023 model is recall-free. Mercedes covers the EQS Sedan with a four-year/50,000-mile basic warranty, including drivetrain and corrosion protection. A two-year/20,000-mile maintenance plan is also included, and the battery is covered for eight years/100,000 miles.
