Mercedes-Benz EQS 580 First Drive Review

By Sagar Bhanushali07 Oct 2022

The EQS 580 is a relatively sane, more sensible version of the EQS 53 AMG that we tested earlier. It is still a wolf in sheep’s clothing. After all, it’s a luxury barge that’s fit for daily duties but give it enough room and it can outperform many sports car. Here's our first drive review.
