2022 EQS 0–60 Times & Performance Specs

In its most powerful configuration, the 2022 EQS goes from 0 to 60 in just 4.1 seconds. You may be surprised to learn that this impressive performance is not the result of a gas-powered EQS engine, but rather the product of its innovative and efficient electric motor system. The 2022 EQS horsepower and torque ratings start off great and only get better, depending on whether you upgrade with a second Permanently Excited Synchronous (PSM) motor. Ready to take a closer look? We’ve got you covered.
