If you're in the market for a luxury electric vehicle with hair-raising performance and plenty of tech, you likely want to compare the new 2023 EQS vs. Tesla Model S differences in performance, range, charging times, luxury, and overall usability. You've come to the right place. As you'll soon see from our review of the 2023 EQS from Mercedes-EQ and the Tesla Model S, both offer exhilarating acceleration and notable features, but only one gives you the comforts and cargo room you want. To meet that vehicle, schedule your test drive at Ed Hicks Imports and slip behind the wheel of the 2023 EQS from Mercedes-EQ.
| 2023 EQS | 2023 Tesla Model S | |
| Engine | Electric Motor | Dual Motor |
| Horsepower | 329 | 670 |
| Torque | 417 lb-ft | N/A |
| 0-60 | 5.9 seconds | 3.1 seconds |
| Top Speed | N/A | 149 mph |
As you can see from our EQS vs. Tesla Model S performance comparison chart, the 2023 EQS from Mercedes-EQ delivers impressive performance. The Permanently Excited Synchronous (PSM) electric motor produces 329 horsepower and 417 pound-feet of torque. Regarding the EQS 0-60 time, the EQS 450+ Sedan can send you from 0 to 60 mph in a scant 5.9 seconds. These numbers are particularly impressive when you realize that the 2023 EQS has an EPA-estimated electric range of 350 miles.1
The 2023 Tesla Model S dual motor configuration also produces some impressive performance specs but doesn't list a torque rating on its website at the time of writing. That could be because the 417 pound-feet of torque from the 2023 EQS is tough to beat.
| 2023 EQS | 2023 Tesla Model S | |
| Electric Range | 350 miles1 | 405 miles2 |
| DC charging time (10-80%) | 31 min | N/A |
| Seating Capacity | 5 | 5 |
| Cargo Space | 63 cu ft | 28 cu ft |
When deciding on the best new luxury EV for your particular needs, range and charging times are critical factors. The 2023 EQS proudly states an EPA-estimated range of 350 miles1 and the ability to charge from 10% to 80% in 31 minutes. While the Tesla Model S has a higher range estimate, the website does not list a DC charging time (10% to 80%) figure at the time of writing. Once again, we're left wondering if that's because it loses to members of the 2023 Mercedes-EQ lineup.
After you drive home from our Mercedes-EQ dealership, our team will be here to assist you with questions about how to maximize the experience of driving an electric vehicle or how to charge your EQS.
The EQS and Tesla Model S offer impressive tech throughout their comfortable interiors. At first glance, both vehicles boast large touch-screen displays, convenient connectivity options, and impressive sound systems. But as you look more closely, you'll find that the latest offering from Mercedes-EQ stands out.
The new EQS boasts the Mercedes-Benz User Experience or MBUX, which the brand heralds as a "breakthrough in automotive cockpit control." MBUX integrates multiple in-dash displays with touch-sensitive controls and Bluetooth® hands-free and audio streaming to give you convenient access to your media and navigation.
The Tesla Model S also helps you instantly connect to your compatible devices with multi-device Bluetooth® but doesn't have the futuristic luxury of MBUX.
The new 2023 EQS is 207.3 inches in overall length, 83.7 inches in width, and 75.8 inches in height. These dimensions create an interior that comfortably seats five passengers while providing between 22 and 63 cubic feet of cargo capacity, depending on the seating configuration.
You and your co-pilot will also stay comfortable throughout the journey thanks to the 40.4 inches of front headroom, 59.5 inches of shoulder room, and 41.7 inches of legroom. It's challenging to compare EQS vs. Tesla Model S dimensions and passenger room when the Tesla website does not list the vehicle's measurements or capacities at the time of writing. However, the Model S cargo capacity is listed as maxing out at just 28 cubic feet, far smaller than what you can enjoy in the EQS.
