140-Character Blurb

<p>Composed and comfortable, the 2025 Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-AMG EQS puts a lot of electric power into a large luxury sedan.</p>


Cons

Power, Ride, and Handling

Driving Impressions

<p>For most people, the 649 horsepower and 700 lb-ft of torque developed by the AMG EQS should be perfectly ample for rapid, smooth, near-silent progress. But this is an AMG car, where more is always better. A standard Race Start feature means a temporary boost to 751 horsepower and 752 lb-ft of torque, enabling a sprint from standstill to 60 mph in a breathtaking 3.4 seconds, a tenth quicker than the BMW i7 M70 xDrive.</p>
<p>The AMG EQS has all-wheel drive as standard, although the most powerful of the two electric motors is located at the back, so there’s still a sporty, rear-drive kind of flavor to the dynamics, especially in Sport and Sport+ modes.</p>
<p>An AMG-tuned adaptive air suspension is standard, enabling a range of settings from supple to sporty. Another standard feature is rear-wheel steering, which we’ve found to work well as it enhances maneuverability and adds a certain athleticism that makes this full-size car feel smaller than it really is.</p>
<p>This year, Mercedes-Benz has given the regenerative braking system extra attention. It recovers more energy than before, contributing to a better range, and there’s a more natural feel to the brake pedal. Speaking of natural, we could live without the fake whooshing sounds coming through the audio system when accelerating. We are of a mind to switch them off.</p>
<h3>Range and Charging</h3>
<p>Maximum range of the 2025 AMG EQS is estimated at 315 miles. That beats the BMW i7 M70 xDrive’s 285 miles. We’ve noticed with all-electric vehicles from Mercedes-Benz that their ranges in real-life driving are close to the quoted figures.</p>
<p>When replenishing the battery, it takes about 31 minutes to go from 10% to 80% using a DC fast charger. Not the fastest in the class, but we’d still call it acceptable.</p>


Efficient Exterior

Exterior

<p>We understand that not everyone will love the enhanced aerodynamic look of the AMG EQS, but just understanding the reason behind it goes a long way to acceptance. Then there are typical AMG design cues like the vertical slats in the “grille” (not that this car needs a grille as such, with no engine to cool) and the large air intakes for the front brakes.</p>


FAQs

Our Favorite Features and Tech

Favorite Features

<p><strong>Hyperscreen</strong><br />
A standard feature in the AMG EQS, this spectacular dash-wide creation contains a 12.3-inch LED instrument cluster and two OLED touchscreens — one (17.7 inches) for general infotainment, the other (12.3 inches) for the front passenger.</p>
<p><strong>Parktronic with Active Park Assist</strong><br />
In a big car like the AMG EQS, we think some help with parking is always welcome. This standard feature can scan for suitable spaces (parallel or perpendicular), then maneuver the car into and subsequently out of them.</p>
<p><strong>Active Steering Assist</strong><br />
A lot of our driving time is spent on less-than-thrilling freeway stretches, which is where this bit of standard cleverness comes in. Used in conjunction with adaptive cruise control, it keeps the car in the center of its lane and will also negotiate those gentle curves.</p>
<p><strong>Burmester audio</strong><br />
This is one of our absolute favorite automotive audio systems, especially with the Dolby Atmos feature that really brings out the detail. This 15-speaker/710-watt surround-sound setup comes standard in the AMG EQS.</p>
<p><strong>Pinnacle trim</strong><br />
Just because this is an AMG doesn’t mean it can’t cosset its rear passengers as well as any other EQS. Choosing this package brings heated/ventilated/massaging rear seats, and even rear-seat neck heating.</p>
<p><strong>Carbon ceramic front brakes</strong><br />
With so much power, speed and weight in the AMG EQS, we’d be tempted to go for this option that installs fade-free, warp-resistant, long-lasting brake discs.</p>


Opulent and Ergonomic Interior

Interior

<p>Because the AMG EQS is the go-faster version of a large luxury (all-electric) car, we find plenty of high-quality materials in the cabin, all put together with superb craftsmanship. Tech levels are high and many functions will respond to voice commands, even the massaging seats. And there’s plenty of space in both rows. If we were going to drive an electric car from coast to coast, the AMG EQS would be our first choice.</p>
<p>There’s even a decent amount of cargo space and versatility, because the AMG EQS has a hatchback instead of the usual sedan trunk, along with split/folding rear seats.</p>

KBB Editors' Overview

<p>Six letters, three stories. Aficionados of <a href="http://www.kbb.com/mercedes-benz/">Mercedes-Benz</a> know that AMG is the company’s high-performance wing with a tradition of taking regular M-B vehicles and transforming them into breathtaking driver’s machines. EQ, meanwhile, indicates electric power. And S evokes the S-Class, the archetypal Mercedes, the top dog among large luxury sedans.</p>
<p>The AMG EQS isn’t an S-Class with prodigious electric propulsion, however. It’s based on the EQS, a separate large luxury 4-door built specifically for voltage-derived velocity. This entails a more aerodynamic exterior design to help maximize range, while also packing a navigation system that takes charging requirements into account.</p>
<p><em>We’ve logged hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/electric-car/best-luxury-electric-cars/">luxury electric cars</a>, including the Mercedes-AMG EQS.</em></p>

<p>Before buying a new AMG EQS luxury electric sedan, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should be paying. Resale values are comfortably above the class average.

Battery and Efficiency

Under the Hood

<p>Mercedes-Benz proclaims a “new generation of battery technology” for the upgraded 118-kilowatt-hour (kWh) power pack in the 2025 AMG EQS. This is on the high side of battery capacity, helping the AMG EQS move past the 300-mile range barrier — quite impressive for a car with this much muscle.</p>
<p>The non-AMG <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mercedes-benz/mercedes-eq-eqs/">Mercedes-Benz EQS</a> is reviewed separately.</p>
<h3>4-Year/50,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
<p>Mercedes-Benz has new-vehicle coverage that’s typical for German luxury marques, with a warranty lasting four years or 50,000 miles, whichever happens first. Electric components fare better, protected for 10 years or 155,000 miles.</p>
<h3>Safety Ratings</h3>
<p>The EQS (on which this AMG EQS is based) has not been crash-tested by any agencies in the United States, which is quite common with ultra-luxury vehicles. However, it did earn a maximum overall score of five stars from the Euro NCAP program. The array of standard driver assistance features in the AMG EQS covers just about everything.</p>


What's new for 2025

<p>An upgraded battery pushes maximum range another 10 miles over last year’s best of 305 miles. The braking system has also received attention for a more natural feel to the pedal. A center airbag between the two front seats becomes standard, along with soft-closing doors. And owners can now use their phone instead of the usual key.</p>

<p><strong>The Jeep Grand Cherokee is one of America’s favorite midsize SUVs, and it’s getting a refresh for 2026. We expect pricing to start at about $39,000.</strong></p>
<p>The Jeep Grand Cherokee is one of the most trusted names in midsize SUVs. This midsize SUV is available in three variants: the standard 2-row model with a regular gas engine, the longer 3-row <a href="https://www.kbb.com/jeep/grand-cherokee-l/">Grand Cherokee L</a>, and the plug-in hybrid <a href="https://www.kbb.com/jeep/grand-cherokee-4xe/">Grand Cherokee 4xe</a>. This menu of options will continue into the 2026 model year as the Grand Cherokee gets an aesthetic refresh and likely some new technology. Details of the 2026 updates are limited to two teaser images; here’s what we know so far.</p>
<h3>Updated Exterior and Interior</h3>
<p>The 3-row Jeep Grand Cherokee L came out in 2021, and the two-row Grand Cherokee got a similar redesign for 2022. Now, Jeep is <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/jeep-teases-refreshed-2026-grand-cherokee/">teasing a mid-cycle refresh</a> for the 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee, giving glimpses of what the updated exterior and interior will look like.</p>
<p>The front end gets a pretty significant redesign to the lower front fascia, with a painted section splitting the lower grille in two. The upper grille will continue Jeep’s iconic seven-slat motif, but with new chrome inserts and sharper angles. Also, the light signature now has a more dramatic curve to its LED signature lighting.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.kbb.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/2026-jeep-grand-cherokee-interior-1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-3433948 size-large" src="https://www.kbb.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/2026-jeep-grand-cherokee-interior-1.jpg?w=757" alt="2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee interior tease" width="757" height="426" /></a></p>
<p>On the inside, the center console is reworked with a new bank of HVAC control buttons below the central infotainment screen. It also has smaller audio control knobs mounted higher up on either side of the screen. The available front passenger screen appears to have gotten a bit bigger, as well.</p>
<p>That’s about all we can glean from the two images shared by Jeep so far &#8211; we’ll update this preview as more information becomes available.</p>


<p>We expect the pricing of the 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee to start at around $39,000. A loaded Summit Reserve model will likely begin at about $65,000.</p>

<p>The sporty and high-tech 2026 Kia K4 Hatchback brings a versatile and stylish new body to one of our favorite compact cars.</p>


<p>The 2026 Kia K4 Hatchback is powered by a 147-horsepower 4-cylinder engine matched with a continuously variable automatic transmission and front-wheel drive (FWD). In our time driving the K4 sedan, we were surprised, very pleasantly, that this base engine provides more oomph than expected. We reckon it will be more than fine for most K4 drivers&#8217; needs. And there’s always the Sport mode to further liven things up.</p>
<p>Also available is a turbocharged 1.6-liter 4-cylinder rated at 190 hp and 195 lb-ft of torque mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. In our testing of the sedan version of the Kia K4 GT-Line Turbo, we found it an invigorating partner. This powertrain made short work of the Texas Hill Country where we tested it extensively, with power always readily available to tackle elevation changes and passing maneuvers on narrow two-lane roads. The GT-Line trims also appeal to those who like to have a little more fun behind the wheel, thanks to their sport-tuned suspension and quicker steering ratio.</p>
<p>Overall, the K4’s ride quality is taut yet compliant, and we found it a fun partner for running errands and longer highway treks alike. We expect ride quality, braking, and handling in the K4 Hatchback to be quite similar to the K4 sedan.</p>
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
<p>Using the Kia K4 sedan as a measuring stick, we expect the Kia K4 Hatchback to get around 34 mpg in combined city/highway driving with the base engine and about 29 mpg combined with the optional turbo engine.</p>


Sporty Design

<p>This won’t come as a surprise, but the Kia K4 Hatchback looks just like the K4 sedan, except it’s a hatchback. But there’s more to it than just a flatter roof. The hatchback’s overall length is 11 inches shorter than the sedan’s. That means it gives you more space in the garage while yielding cargo room and the same rear legroom compared to its sedan counterpart. Hatchbacks simply have tidier packaging than sedans, which is why we’re happy to see the K4 get a hatchback variant.</p>


<p><strong>Tons of cargo room</strong><br />
Who needs an SUV? The K4 Hatchback has 22.2 cubic feet of cargo room behind the back seats and 59.3 cubic feet of max cargo space with those seats folded down. That’s comparable to the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/kia/soul/">Kia Soul</a> SUV.</p>
<p><strong>Nearly 30 inches of screen</strong><br />
Dual 12.3-inch displays with a 5-inch HVAC control screen in between them make for one big rectangular display that gives the K4 Hatchback’s interior a high-tech look and feel. It all integrates nicely for a pleasant user experience.</p>
<p><strong>Wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto</strong><br />
Cable-free phone integration is standard across the 2026 K4 Hatchback range. We find this feature wonderfully convenient.</p>
<p><strong>Turbo option</strong><br />
The available 190-hp turbocharged engine in the Kia K4 Hatchback adds extra excitement to this sensible compact car. It’s easy to recommend if you want one car that’s fun, practical, and reasonably affordable.</p>
<p><strong>Hey, Kia</strong><br />
This is how to activate the K4’s digital assistant. Settings like cabin temperature and audio functions can be controlled with voice commands. It can also provide information on sports scores, owner’s manual information, and much more. It will even listen for follow-up questions.</p>
<p><strong>Driver assist tech</strong><br />
Just a few standard driver assistance tech features in the K4 Hatchback include automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keep assist. Additional options include the Highway Driving Assist 2 system, evasive steering assist, blind-spot collision avoidance, and more.</p>


Versatile Interior

<p>We were impressed with the Kia K4’s interior when the sedan version debuted, and it’s largely the same in the K4 Hatchback. The obvious difference is in the cargo area, which has 22.2 cubic feet of cargo space behind the back seats and 59.3 cubic feet of max cargo room with those seats folded down. For reference, the K4 sedan has a 14.6-cubic-foot trunk. Additionally, the flat roof of the K4 Hatchback gives the rear seats an extra inch of headroom compared to the sedan.</p>
<p>Most of the dashboard — in the higher trims, at least — is taken up by a glass-covered unit that spans almost 30 inches. It accommodates an instrument cluster, climate control adjustment, and infotainment. The rest of the front section is kept neat yet still has a decent number of physical buttons to save the driver from delving into menus. We’ve also noted the conventional gear shifter (instead of a push-button system), which gets our approval.</p>
<p>We appreciate that two USB-C charging ports come standard in the back so rear passengers can keep devices charged. If you want rear air vents, though, you have to step up to the top GT-Line Turbo.</p>


<p>The <a href="https://www.kbb.com/kia/k4/">Kia K4</a> came out for the 2025 model year as the brand’s all-new compact sedan, replacing the old Kia Forte. Now, for 2026, an all-new Kia K4 Hatchback arrives on the scene, adding extra versatility and cargo space to an already great formula. It has the same engine options as the K4 sedan, which range from efficient to perky, and has the class-leading warranty coverage we love about Kia. Meanwhile, its technology and interior quality might make it feel like you’re driving a more expensive car. The K4 Hatchback is set to arrive in late 2025.</p>


<p>We expect the 2026 Kia K4 Hatchback to start at about $25,000, including destination fee. A loaded GT-Line model with the turbocharged engine will likely start in the low-$30K range.</p>
