Inside the 2023 EQS, you’ll find a dashboard covered in 56 inches of high-tech glass. Just beyond the surface, you’ll see three expansive displays that connect you to your vehicle, to your loved ones, and to your journey. Let’s take a closer look at what makes up this command center:

• 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster
• 12.8-inch OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) touchscreen central display
• 12.3-inch Passenger Display

On the other hand, the Taycan takes the same cockpit approach. Three displays rest on the dashboard, including a curved instrument cluster, a 10.9-inch central display, and a 10.9-inch passenger display. The only difference is that drivers who opt for the Mercedes-Benz will gain the unique passenger display as standard, whereas it’s available on the Porsche.

When you choose the 2023 EQS, you gain access to the incomparable Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX). This suite is more than just your entertainment hub. It also uses its memory settings to save up to seven user profile preferences, proving how this EV shows up for its driver and passengers.

How can the 2023 EQS differentiate between drivers? With biometric authentication! When you slide into the driver’s seat, locate the built-in fingerprint reader below the central touchscreen and scan your finger to get started. A similar technology is unavailable in the Taycan.

Powering the 2023 EQS is a 245kW permanently synchronous electric motor that amps up your longest commutes with 329 horsepower and 417 lb-ft of torque. The Porsche Taycan, on the other hand, is equipped with a 240kW Performance Battery that generates 321 horsepower and 254 lb-ft of torque.

These electric stallions will deliver rocket-launcher speed from a standstill. However, the 2023 EQS offers more torque with its standard battery, which helps satisfy your need for speed. You may be left wanting more from the Porsche.

Beyond instantaneous torque, these EVs make being in it for the long haul a breeze. In fact, with its standard electric motor, the 2023 EQS achieves an EPA-estimated electric range of 350 miles.^* Think of all the round trips or weekend getaways you can take without needing to recharge!

With its standard performance battery, the Porsche achieves an EPA-estimated electric range of 208 miles. With the proper equipment and the right Taycan trim level, this EV can achieve up to 246 miles on a single charge, which is nowhere close to what the 2023 EQS can deliver.

Welcome to your throne. It’s swathed in premium leather that’s durable, silky, and stunning. In the 2023 EQS, your seat features 12-way power adjustment, helping you slide into your sweet spot at just the push of a button. The Porsche gives you 8-way adjustment.

Both models come with standard heated front seats, so you can travel to colder climates or drive home late and still feel comfortable. However, if your upcoming summer road trip consists of beach hopping, you may prefer the 2023 EQS since it comes standard with ventilated front seats too. The same seat functionality is available on the Taycan.

If you’re looking to unwind, reset, and recharge in your EV, the 2023 EQS is the right model for you. It features 64-color LED ambient lighting, which makes the edges of the dash, door trim, and each front seatback glow. You can enjoy static or slowly changing multicolor.

Toggle your favorite hue and boot up the EQS Sound Experience. Sound experts have created this audio feature to bring serenity to your ears. It pairs with this model’s Burmester® 3D Surround Sound system to bring several soundscapes to life: ^**

• Silver Waves
• Vivid Flux
