Welcome back to the Mercedes EQS<\/a> and this time, not the base Mercedes-Benz model, but AMG\u2019s take on the first electric S-class from the manufacturer based in southern Germany. Following my initial drive earlier in the year in Switzerland<\/a>, I am this time in the United States of America, Los Angeles. California to be precise, allowing myself to connect with the AMG way of driving electric.\u00a0Before we dive in and discuss the vehicle, I have to share that I personally never connected well with the \u201cnormal\u201d EQS 580 I drove across the scenic roads in the Swiss Alps. The wofty steering, disconnected brake feel and the boat-like feel in the suspension weren\u2019t for me. The vehicle completely required me to recalibrate my senses in a way I didn\u2019t want to.<\/p>\n The total absence of any kind of emotion through the controls made \u00a0for me an experience I would not want to repeat again soon. The engineers at AMG however ensured me that they were up to the task of providing me with a much better, involving drive. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and took the EQS 53 AMG for a spin, on LA highways and a mountain pass near Palm Springs. My thoughts? Let me surprise you!<\/p>\nA High-Performance Electric Limousine<\/h3>\n
