The Mercedes EQS Saloon Electric Car Lease gets a big refresh for 2026

With a big refresh for 2026 - The Mercedes EQS Saloon Electric Car Lease

Luxury electric saloons just got an incredible addition, with Mercedes launching their updated EQS saloon for 2026. The big news is that this will have a real range of 415 miles, making this one of the leading long range electric car options you can procure in 2026 and beyond.

With a price tag of over £90,000, this is really suitable for a bigger business and fleet customer or for a private hire / luxury chauffeur company engaged in BEVs. But this does show the capability of EVs for the future and true capabilities of what our vehicles will have.

As you can see from the EVDB analysis of the EQS 400 Saloon , this is a 5-star long-distance vehicle, which is able to amass some amazing distances on a full charge. 

For any UK driver particularly concerned about the battery effectiveness and range, then this is the car for you!
