As sunset settles on The Spit, our Driver, Mercedes-Benz Gold Coast General Manager Leroy Dunne is enjoying the impressive performance that is the Mercedes-AMG EQS 53 4MATIC+.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a thrilling experience and until you sit in it and drive it, you can\u2019t really appreciate it,\u201d says Leroy.<\/p>\n
With its sleek lines, AMG-specific radiator grille, spoiler lip and ambient lighting, the EQS looks as though it was beamed out of a utopian dimension from the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s very exciting to drive a car that weighs over two and a half tonnes, has no emissions and achieves zero to 100 kilometres in 3.8 seconds,\u201d says Leroy.<\/p>\n
The latest electric vehicle to Mercedes-Benz and a true AMG, the EQS offers an impressive range of 580 kilometres and a sports mode enabling the car to generate the purrs and roars of an AMG through the speakers.<\/p>\n
Backed by the epitome of the Gold Coast\u2019s lifestyle \u2013 the Broadwater featuring sailing boats and the stunning colours of sundown, Leroy\u2019s love for the Mercedes-Benz brand shows as he\u2019s propelled along by the EQS\u2019s 484 kW of power and 950 Nm of torque.<\/p>\n

\u201cMercedes-Benz is all about style, simplicity, powerful engines and performance,\u201d says Leroy.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe brand stays true to some of their classic and ageless features but embraces technology with innovative ease.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe EQS is a smooth and luxurious ride and it\u2019s incredible that a 19-minute charging session will get you over 300 kilometres of driving range.\u201d<\/p>\n

Modelled after the S-Class, the biggest sedan in the Mercedes-Benz range, the EQS is the largest and first all-electric vehicle the brand currently has.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s an amazing feat \u2013 so fast, so smooth and so quiet,\u201d Leroy says.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is only the start and there are many more electric cars on the way, so watch this space.\u201d<\/p>\n

Powered by phenomenal technology and engineering, the EQS has attracted a high level of attention among brand enthusiasts and its arrival has sparked interest as to what other ranges will offer in the future.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think you can get a sense of how much technology is in the car and how good it is, until you\u2019re behind the wheel,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe feeling of the dashboard and the technology at your fingertips is a thrilling and game-changing experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you enjoy technology, you can\u2019t help but be drawn to the EQS, as it offers a glimpse of what we\u2019ll see in the other models and it\u2019s really paving the way for what the future of the Mercedes-Benz range will look like.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ideal for someone who\u2019s after luxury and refinement but is also environmentally conscious of their carbon footprint, if you\u2019ve got your sights set on the EQS, visit the Mercedes-Benz Gold Coast dealership to set up an appointment.<\/p>\n
