Hello everyone,
I'm new in this channel so I wanted to ask you have you tested EQS 450 RWD on any slippery road, wet road, curves, snow?
How it feels is it stable?
How it feels in the curves if the road is wet or even with snow?

Thanks a lot in advance.

We just experienced a light dusting of snow here in New York, but our EQS450+ performed perfectly fine.

I owned a S-class W221 with RWD and a S-class W222 with AWD. I live in an area where there is only from time to time a little snow. If the road surface is really slippery and icy, the AWD has big advantages in traction. So if you live in an area with a lot of snow or travel to regions with snow and ice, I would recommend the AWD version. Maybe you wait as the new EQS models with DCU (decoupling unit of the drive train) and heat pump arrive if you go for an AWD model.

Thanks for your reply.
I also drive now E class w212 4 matic and it goes perfectly on every condition on the road even when there is wet road it's perfect.
But some people says that EV cars are not like regular cars on RWD because of the battery position and weight distribution.
So what they are saying that EV RWD is more stable in curves then normal car with RWD.
So that's why I need more advices in order to make the perfect choice.
Unfortunately nowadays in the last winters we didn't have snow.
Thanks for your help.
