Choose a specific vehicle. Where data is available, its detail page shows the import cost calculation. We assess any possible duty benefit with you before purchase.
Important: A 0% EU import-duty rate may be available for a vehicle covered by Regulation (EU) 2026/1455 that has US origin and is imported directly into the EU. CETA may apply to a vehicle with preferential Canadian origin. Whether the requirements are met is assessed for the individual case. Please contact us before purchase; we review the possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support through the process. Import VAT and other costs are assessed separately.

The Mercedes-Benz EQS is the electric flagship of the three-pointed star — a full-size luxury sedan built from the ground up as an EV, not a converted combustion car.

Model profile
The EQS sedan (chassis code V297) launched globally in 2021 and reached US showrooms as a 2022 model, riding on the dedicated EVA2 electric platform it shares with the EQE. Its defining features are the aerodynamic "one-bow" silhouette — one of the lowest drag coefficients of any production car — and the optional 56-inch MBUX Hyperscreen spanning the dashboard.
Powertrain and equipment
US-market EQS trims centre on the EQS 450+ (single rear motor, rear-wheel drive, roughly 355 hp), the EQS 450 4MATIC and EQS 580 4MATIC (dual-motor all-wheel drive, the 580 making around 516 hp), and the range-topping AMG EQS 53 4MATIC+ producing up to roughly 649–751 hp with boost.
The EQS is offered only as a five-door luxury liftback sedan. American cars are typically loaded: Hyperscreen, Burmester surround sound, rear-axle steering, air suspension (AIRMATIC), augmented-reality navigation, and executive rear seating appear frequently. A US-spec EQS often carries equipment that would be a costly options list in Europe.
Vehicle selection
Availability is good in metropolitan and coastal markets where the EQS sold in volume.
The EQS import suits a buyer who wants a whisper-quiet, long-range electric flagship with genuine luxury presence and is comfortable with EV-specific ownership.

Pre-purchase review
The EQS is dense with technology, and that is where owners report the most niggles. Early MBUX and Hyperscreen software could freeze or glitch and was addressed through updates — confirm the car is on current software. The 12-volt auxiliary battery has caused wake/sleep and no-start complaints on some cars; it is a cheap check.
Germany and Europe
US cars use amber side-marker lamps, US-specific lighting calibration, and miles-based instrumentation. The navigation and charging databases are US-oriented and are updated to European data.
Expect lighting adjustments, documentation of the odometer's mile-to-kilometre conversion, verification of the charging interface, and a COC or §21 individual approval.
USCar Trader services
As a buyer based in Germany, you do not have to inspect the vehicle yourself in the United States or Canada. Within the agreed scope, USCar Trader can coordinate document review, a separately commissioned on-site inspection and purchase processing.
Covered inspection points are agreed in advance. An on-site inspection records condition at the appointment and is not a guarantee.
Next step: Before commissioning, USCar Trader and the customer agree which document, history, inspection and transaction checks suit the vehicle and are included in the service. This records what was actually checked.
Import process
The assessment depends on the specific vehicle and the circumstances of the transaction. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review any possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support. Import VAT and other costs are considered separately.
Questions and answers
No. The EQS sedan (V297) is a separate vehicle from the EQS SUV; this page covers the sedan.
Up to roughly 350 miles EPA for the rear-drive 450+ when new; a used car depends on battery state of health, which we check.
Yes, with the correct connector setup. We verify the AC/DC interface and arrange adapters or a port change where required.
No, not automatically. A 0% EU import-duty rate may be available for a vehicle covered by Regulation (EU) 2026/1455 that has US origin and is imported directly into the EU. CETA may apply to a vehicle with preferential Canadian origin. Whether the requirements are met is assessed for the individual case.

Import VAT and other taxes or costs are assessed separately under the applicable rules and the circumstances of the individual case. A blanket answer for every vehicle would not be reliable.
Typically very well — Hyperscreen, Burmester audio and rear-axle steering are common on US examples.
Drivetrains are solid; most complaints are software and 12-volt battery items that are checkable and fixable.
No. We are an independent broker with a transparent service fee and no markup on the car.
