Originally available as a subscription only, the power boosting Acceleration Increase feature can now be added via a one-time purchase.
The on-demand feature can be purchased online at the Mercedes Me Connect Store and installed via an over-the-air update, meaning a visit to a dealership isn't required.
For the EQS 450 and EQS SUV 450, the feature boosts output from 355 to 435 hp, and drops the 0-60 mph time by 0.8 seconds to 4.5 seconds for the EQS 450, and by 0.9 seconds to 4.9 seconds for the EQS SUV 450.Buyers can choose between monthly or annual subscriptions, or a one-time purchase where the feature remains for the life of the vehicle. The monthly subscription costs $60 for the EQE models and $90 for the EQS models. The annual subscription bumps the costs to $600 and $900, respectively.
This isn't the first time Mercedes has offered an on-demand feature via subscription. In some markets, the automaker charges an annual subscription to unlock the more advanced rear-wheel-steering system on the EQS, a feature that for now is standard in the U.S. The more advanced system can tilt the rear wheels up to 10 degrees, versus the standard system that tilts them only 4.5 degrees.
