Mercedes previewed the EQS SUV in September 2021 by introducing a glitzy Maybach concept at the IAA Munich show. Later this year, the production version will follow as a Benz model, and it has now been spotted as a prototype performing final testing. We are not surprised the disguised luxobarge was seen in the United States as the three-pointed star has already announced production will take place in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. At the same facility, Mercedes will also build the smaller EQE SUV<\/a>, with both to hit the assembly line towards the end of 2022.<\/p>\n

Hiding the full production body, the 2023 EQS SUV<\/a> can be seen putting its rear-wheel steering to work. In its sedan sibling, the rear wheels have a standard steering angle of 4.5 degrees or an optional 10-degree setup. It considerably lowers the turning circle in the city and improves stability at higher speeds during journeys outside of the urban jungle.<\/p>\n

Spotted carrying Michigan manufacturer plates, the EQS SUV had contrasting blue accents on the wheels along with pop-out electronic door handles shared with the sedan. The switch to a more bulbous shape should pay dividends in terms of practicality as we\u2019re expecting Mercedes to install a third row of seats.<\/p>\n
