2023 Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV First Drive: And A-Galloping We Will Go (Quietly)

Auto123 gets in a first drive of the all-electric 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV.

Denver, CO – I think it’s probably safe to say most future owners of the 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV – or of any luxury vehicle costing upwards of $160,000 (CAD) for that matter – will never balance their vehicle on two wheels. At least not intentionally. But we did.

This little exercise we carried out on the “moguls” section of an off-road course near Denver, Colorado was born from the German automaker’s understandable desire to show us some of the extraordinary things its first all-electric SUV can do. Some of which go far, far beyond what any sane owner of such an expensive vehicle would ever risk.

The drive program we attended included much more than that off-road portion, of course, and the large scale of the event underscored the importance to Mercedes-Benz of the new all-electric flagship SUV about to inhabit its lineup.
