Measures of energy consumption at two-speed levels allowed him to estimate the range and, as usual, compare the results with other models.<\/p>\n<p>At 90 km\/h (56 mph), the EQS 450+ achieved an energy consumption of 150 Wh\/km (241 Wh\/mile), which translated into a range of 711 km (442 miles).<\/p>\n<p>At 120 km\/h (75 mph), the energy consumption increased to 198 Wh\/km (319 Wh\/mile), while the range decreased to 539 km (335 miles).<\/p>\n<p>The numbers are pretty good, as the EQS 450+ almost matched the efficiency of the Tesla Model S LR Raven (although it&#8217;s an AWD car). Nonetheless, good efficiency (in big part thanks to the low aerodynamic drag) and a big battery translated into the longest range ever in Europe (where the Lucid Air is not yet available).<\/p>\n<p>Results at 90 km\/h (56 mph)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>range of 711 km (442 miles)<\/li>\n<li>energy consumption of 150 Wh\/km (241 Wh\/mile)<\/li>\n<li>used battery capacity: 106.7 kWh (estimated)<\/li>\n<li>temperature of 21\u00b0C<\/li>\n<li>21&#8243; Goodyear Eagle F1 (265\/40-21)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Results at 120 km\/h (75 mph); up 33% compared to 90 km\/h:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>range of 539 km (335 miles); down 24%<\/li>\n<li>energy consumption of 198 Wh\/km (319 Wh\/mile); up 32%<\/li>\n<li>used battery capacity: 106.7 kWh (estimated)<\/li>\n<li>temperature of 20\u00b0C<\/li>\n<li>21&#8243; Goodyear Eagle F1 (265\/40-21)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The range of the Mercedes-Benz EQS 450+ (RWD) is more than 10% higher than the older Tesla Model S LR Raven (the refreshed Model S\/X is soon to be available in Europe).<\/p>\n<p>We don&#8217;t know how the EQS 450+ compares to <a href=\"https:\/\/insideevs.com\/news\/553385\/mercedes-eqs580-4matic-range-bjorn\/\">the EQS 580 4MATIC (AWD), because it was tested only in cold weather conditions<\/a>, but there might be a noticeable range difference.<\/p>\n<p>Results at 90 km\/h (56 mph)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>range of 511 km (318 miles)<\/li>\n<li>energy consumption of 209 Wh\/km (336 Wh\/mile)<\/li>\n<li>used battery capacity: 106.7 kWh (estimated)<\/li>\n<li>temperature of 4\u00b0C<\/li>\n<li>21&#8243; Nokian R3 (265\/40-21)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Results at 120 km\/h (75 mph); up 33% compared to 90 km\/h:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>range of 404 km (251 miles); down 21%<\/li>\n<li>energy consumption of 264 Wh\/km (425 Wh\/mile); up 26%<\/li>\n<li>used battery capacity: 106.7 kWh (estimated)<\/li>\n<li>temperature of 4\u00b0C<\/li>\n<li>21&#8243; Nokian R3 (265\/40-21)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section class=\"relatedContent-new trinity-skip-it\" contenteditable=\"false\" draggable=\"true\" data-widget=\"related-content\" data-widget-size=\"content\" data-params=\"%7B%22type_id%22%3A0%2C%22title_id%22%3A%22%22%2C%22items%22%3A%5B%7B%22article_edition_id%22%3A%22606522%22%2C%22title%22%3A%22Portable%20Energy%20Storage%20Test%3A%20How%20Much%20EV%20Range%20Can%20You%20Replenish%3F%22%2C%22alias%22%3A%22portable-energy-storage-test-how-much-ev-range-you-can-replenish%22%2C%22section%22%3A%221%22%2C%22is_video%22%3A%221%22%2C%22images%22%3A%7B%22s5%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.motor1.com%2Fimages%2Fmgl%2FAkkEq9%2Fs5%2Fiqfmeo7w_d4.jpg%22%7D%7D%2C%7B%22article_edition_id%22%3A%22606146%22%2C%22title%22%3A%22NIO%20ES8%20Tops%20Bj%C3%B8rn's%201%2C000%20Km%20Challenge%20When%20Using%20Battery%20Swap%22%2C%22alias%22%3A%22nio-es8-1000km-challenge-battery-swap%22%2C%22section%22%3A%221%22%2C%22is_video%22%3A%221%22%2C%22images%22%3A%7B%22s5%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.motor1.com%2Fimages%2Fmgl%2F3WWZoA%2Fs5%2F8resubgtvjg.jpg%22%7D%7D%5D%7D\">   <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Mercedes-Benz EQS 450+ version was recently range tested by Bj\u00f8rn Nyland and, as expected, it happens to be the longest-range electric car on the market in Europe right now.
