Who it suits

Buyers who want the ultimate electric luxury SUV with a chauffeur-style rear. It makes 484 kW, does 0 to 100 km/h in about 4.4 seconds, has a 118 kWh battery, 611 km claimed (about 430 km at highway speed) and 200 kW DC charging.

Who should look elsewhere

Anyone watching the price or practicality, since at around R4.05 million it costs far more than the standard EQS SUV, and the rear has two individual seats. We have not found the boot size, AC speed or warranty.
