Used 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS for SaleNationwide

How much does the 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS cost?

Prices have softened 9.36% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 834 listings available, which suggests you have a workable amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS a good car?

Yes — it earns a 4.75/5 user rating and a 7.83/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel, Performance, and Technology.

Mercedes positions the EQS as the electric equivalent of its flagship S-Class sedan, and the data backs up that luxury-first mission. You get sleek, aerodynamic styling, an elaborate infotainment system, impressive electric range, great handling, and strong technology, all of which make it feel like a top-tier Mercedes in EV form.

The main trade-offs are that the voice assistant is slow to respond and some buttons are poorly positioned. That means you’re buying into a highly polished luxury EV, but one that still has a few usability quirks.

About 35.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so there is some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS reliable?

Owners rate it 4.75/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The EQS is built around Mercedes’ electric flagship strategy, and its expert evaluation points to a car that emphasizes comfort, refinement, and advanced tech. The performance notes also support that impression: it delivers strong real-world acceleration, great ride quality, low wind and road noise, and a chassis that balances comfort with impressive handling.

Mercedes also backs the battery with a 10-year, 155,000-mile warranty, which is a meaningful ownership advantage for a used EV. The first-owner charging perk at Electrify America is also a nice bonus for original buyers, though that benefit won’t usually carry over to you.

For used buyers, the biggest long-term risk is less about the core EV hardware and more about making sure the car’s battery, charging behavior, and electronics have been cared for properly.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 90.9% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially on a luxury EV with complex electronics and a high-end charging system. Focus on cabin controls, infotainment behavior, charging performance, and whether the car has been consistently charged in a way that matches your ownership plans.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base EQS 450+ Premium comes with a long list of standard equipment, but you still have to pay extra for the Hyperscreen display. Mercedes also requires both EQS 450+ and EQS 580 buyers to move up to the Exclusive trim level for massaging seats, four-zone climate control, and a head-up display.
• Powertrain: The EQS 450+ uses a single rear motor with 329 horsepower and 419 pound-feet of torque, while the EQS 580 uses dual motors, all-wheel drive, and 516 hp and 631 lb-ft. The 450+ is the efficiency-focused choice, while the 580 brings stronger acceleration.
• Safety package: Standard driver assistance features include adaptive cruise control with steering assist, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist, a driver-attention monitor, parking assist, and a surround-view camera system. Pre-Safe predictive occupant protection is also included.
• Infotainment: The Hyperscreen combines a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, 17.7-inch main touchscreen, and 12.3-inch front-passenger touchscreen. Without it, the base car still gets a 12.3-inch instrument cluster and a 12.8-inch central touchscreen. All models include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
• Range & charging: The EQS 450+ is rated at 350 miles of range, while the EQS 580 is rated at 340 miles. Both versions use a 107.8-kwh battery, can charge at up to 200 kW on DC fast charging, and can go from 10% to 80% in about 30 minutes.
• Battery health: Check the battery’s state of health, confirm how the car has been charged, and make sure the remaining battery warranty coverage still fits your ownership horizon. For a used EV, you want evidence of normal charging habits and no signs of unusual degradation.

Which 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS trim should I buy?

The 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS is offered in 3 trim levels: Premium, Exclusive, and Pinnacle.

Here's the short version:

• Premium: This is the entry point, and it gives you the EQS experience at the lowest starting price. It already includes the core luxury-EV hardware and standard driver-assistance features, but you’ll want to budget for options if you care about the Hyperscreen or the more upscale convenience features.
• Exclusive: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it unlocks the features Mercedes reserves for the higher tier, including massaging seats, four-zone climate control, and a head-up display. If you want the EQS to feel fully flagship-grade, this is the trim to target.
• Pinnacle: This is the most expensive trim and mostly adds rear-seat convenience features. It makes the most sense if you regularly carry passengers and want the most luxurious back-seat experience.

Standard safety equipment is already strong across the lineup, so the main trim decision comes down to how much you value the upgraded comfort and convenience features.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully without expecting a deep bargain on every listing.

• Deal availability: 35.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 834 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.36% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 90.9% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $41,764, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS's resale value?

The current average of $42,051 sits slightly below last year's $46,395.

That decline suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you as a buyer but may temper resale expectations if you plan to sell later. The current pricing also sits within a fairly tight year-round band, which points to a market that has settled rather than one that is swinging wildly.

For a future seller, that means condition, mileage, and equipment will matter a lot. Well-kept examples with desirable features should hold up better than neglected ones, especially in a luxury EV segment where shoppers compare equipment closely.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.75/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS safe?

The EQS earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

Standard driver assistance features include adaptive cruise control with steering assist, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist, a driver-attention monitor, parking assist, and a surround-view camera system. Mercedes also includes Pre-Safe predictive occupant protection to help reduce injury risk if a crash becomes imminent.

Crash-test ratings from IIHS and NHTSA aren’t available yet, so you should lean on the standard safety equipment and the car’s overall safety engineering rather than published test results.

Should I buy a 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 35.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 90.9% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.36% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.75/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2022 launch year establishes the EQS as Mercedes’ flagship electric sedan, with strong range, handling, and technology.

The bottom line: The 2022 EQS makes the most sense if you want the original flagship EV experience and you’re shopping in a market where prices have already eased. If you’re especially price-sensitive, keep an eye on listings near the low end of the range and compare equipment carefully, since the right trim can matter more than the model year itself.
