Mercedes-Benz

A sleek and comforting ride with a multitude of features. The car itself is humongous and feels light to drive, and is highly recommended by me. this car is a must to try.

Best electric vehicle.

The main focus of this car is about performance and the interior given by the Mercedes. It is one of the best electric car till known. The average of this car is quite good at this range.

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.
