A little over a year ago Mercedes slashed the price of its EQS electric sedan by a whopping $33,000 in China in an attempt to boost disappointing sales. One of the reasons given for buyers’ disinterest was the sporty roofline, which affected headroom in the rear seats, where many Chinese owners prefer to sit.
And some, we believe will want to have the more traditional look. So you will be able to get both. The revised lights and the option of a more classic-looking grille that we’ll get to see at the launch later this year, should freshen up the styling, but really, the problems run deeper. The EQS isn’t exactly ugly, but it is rather shapeless, like a Porsche Taycan that's let itself go and lost all its muscle definition. Or worse, like a boring mass-market liftback.
