Mercedes Vision EQS 

This attractive and highly anticipated electric sedan rounds out Mercedes’ electric offerings. Few details are available, but those who’ve gotten their hands on it loved the car: 

“The Vision EQS has huge potential to reshape people's perception of near-term electric luxury... In a market dominated by numb SUVs and a future seemingly dominated by autonomous living rooms on wheels, it's more than a little refreshing to see a concept that not only looks remarkably good but is intended to be good to drive as well.”
