Mercedes-Benz is finally starting its big push into the electric vehicle market in Canada with the EQS, a decadent luxury sedan with 700 kilometres of driving range. It is overflowing with high-tech features and amenities the likes of which the world has never seen before in a vehicle.
Mercedes is a late entrant into the electric vehicle market in Canada. When the EQS arrives in dealerships this fall, it will be the first all-electric Mercedes-Benz sold here. The brand’s key rivals – namely Audi, BMW and Porsche – already have EVs in showrooms today, not to mention Tesla, which has been selling its Model S sedan since 2012.

People-movers turn electric, autonomous and super luxurious
Expect to see more autonomous and electric people-movers or robotaxis, like this concept from Cadillac’s “Halo” portfolio. While this self-driving vehicle resembles a giant toaster on wheels, the boxy, open space includes a huge glass roof, a wrap-around light-coloured sofa and two captains’ chairs that make it look like a luxurious living room. Designed for a group of family or friends to travel together to a destination, it’s filled with innovative technology.
