2025 Mercedes-Benz EQS 450 4MATIC® SUV Safety Features
Luxury and performance are expected in a Mercedes-Benz, but safety is just as much a priority. The 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQS 450 4MATIC® SUV brings cutting-edge safety technology to ensure confidence in every drive. At Mercedes-Benz of Scottsdale, we know safety matters whether you’re commuting or exploring Arizona’s scenic roads. This all-electric SUV delivers an impressive combination of active and passive safety innovations designed to protect passengers in any situation.
A Safety-First Approach to Electric Driving
Many drivers ask, Are EVs safe? The 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQS 450 4MATIC® SUV safety features prove that they are. Its EQ-specific safety concept prioritizes occupant and battery protection. The battery is secured in a reinforced shell with a double-walled base-plate and extruded aluminum side members for impact resistance. In the event of a crash, the system can trigger an automatic emergency shutdown to prevent electrical hazards.
Mercedes-Benz also put this SUV through rigorous battery safety tests, ensuring it meets the highest standards. With these protective measures, you can enjoy the efficiency of an EV without compromising on safety.
Advanced Safety Features That Think Ahead
Technology plays a crucial role in keeping you safe. The EQS 450 4MATIC® SUV advanced safety suite includes Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC®, which automatically adjusts speed based on traffic. It can slow to a complete stop and resume within 60 seconds when conditions allow.
Active Steering Assist helps you stay centered in your lane by detecting road markings, guardrails, and other vehicles. On highways, it fine-tunes lane centering, and on unmarked roads, it can follow the vehicle ahead. These features make long drives smoother and safer.
Additionally, Car-to-X Communication lets the EQS 450 4MATIC® SUV share hazard alerts with other Mercedes-Benz vehicles. If another EQS detects slippery roads or sudden braking ahead, your vehicle can warn you before you reach the danger.

A Passive Safety System for Ultimate Protection
While advanced safety features help prevent accidents, passive safety measures reduce injury risk if a collision occurs. The 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQS 450 4MATIC® SUV safety package includes a 7-airbag system designed to protect occupants from multiple angles. This includes:
- Two-stage front airbags for the driver and passenger
- A driver’s knee airbag for added lower-body protection
- Front side-impact airbags to reduce force in a side collision
- Side curtain airbags for all seating rows
For added peace of mind, the Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) helps prevent loss of control. By monitoring wheel speed and steering input, it can adjust braking and engine power to keep the SUV stable in challenging conditions.
Smarter Braking and Parking Assistance
Adaptive braking technology makes every stop smoother and safer. If you quickly lift off the accelerator, Predictive Brake Priming prepares the brakes for faster response. In rainy conditions, Automatic Brake Drying removes water buildup for improved stopping power. Hill-Start Assist also prevents rollback when starting on an incline.
For tight parking situations, the Surround View System gives a 360-degree overhead view of your surroundings. Whether navigating Scottsdale’s busy streets or backing into a driveway, this system makes parking stress-free.
Protection Beyond the Road
The GUARD 360°® security system provides an extra layer of protection. If your SUV experiences an impact while parked, cameras capture timestamped images for later review. Notifications are sent directly to your Mercedes me connect app, keeping you informed at all times.
For even more security, an optional dashcam records front-facing activity, offering a valuable tool for documenting incidents. With Mercedes-Benz safety innovations, your vehicle stays protected even when you’re not inside.
