The EQS SUV was launched to the media in Colorado, where we got behind the wheel for our first drive. Running on 21-inch Goodyear rubber we found it used about 24kWh per 100km during a mix of driving that took in plenty of freeway running as well as mountainous winding roads. Claimed WLTP electricity consumption is between 20.2
