Buy or Bye: 2022–2026 Mercedes EQS Sedan — $100K EV Lost 60% In 5 Years!

The 2022–2026 Mercedes-Benz EQS Sedan is the flagship electric luxury sedan from Mercedes — the EV equivalent of the S-Class. 0.20 drag coefficient (lowest of any production car at launch). 56-inch MBUX Hyperscreen optional. 108 kWh battery (118 kWh from 2025 facelift). Four trims: EQS 450+ ($105,550, 355 HP RWD, 390 mi range), EQS 450 4MATIC ($108,550, 355 HP AWD, 367 mi), EQS 580 4MATIC ($128,500, 536 HP, 371 mi, 0-60 3.9s), Mercedes-AMG EQS ($148,700, 649 HP, 315 mi, 0-60 3.4s). 200 kW DC fast charge (10-80% in 31 minutes). NACS adapter standard from 2026. Built at Mercedes-Benz Sindelfingen Plant 56, Germany.
We break down the worst dollar-depreciation luxury EV on the market (KBB projects $63,009 five-year depreciation, iSeeCars 48.7% one-year drop), the MBUX Hyperscreen software glitches and reboots, the air suspension compressor failures at 60–80K miles, the rear-axle steering solenoid failures, the 12V auxiliary battery dead-car syndrome, the flush retracting door handle motor failures, the heat pump failures in cold climates, the panoramic glass roof leaks, the window weatherstrip detachment, the trunk button paint peel, why Consumer Reports predicts below-average reliability, and why a $40,000 used EQS 450+ is still a Bye despite the depreciation.
Spoiler: this is a BYE. Buy a used S-Class or Lucid Air Pure instead.
