How Mercedes-Benz Structures the EQS Lineup
The 2026 Mercedes-Benz EQS is available in 3 trims: EQS 450+, EQS 450 4MATIC, EQS 580 4MATIC. The EQS 450+ is the entry point, and the EQS 580 4MATIC sits at the top of the range. All trims share the same platform and core engineering. What changes between them is features, comfort, and in some cases wheels and appearance.
Adjacent trims usually differ in tech and convenience features. Bigger jumps often include powertrain or capability changes. If you're still deciding between models, see the full Mercedes-Benz hub. If you're not sure which trim level to target, our how to pick a trim guide and packages vs. trims breakdown can help.
