2026 Mercedes-Benz EQS Lease Deals Now Available

The Mercedes-Benz EQS is the brand’s electric flagship, built as the EV alternative to the S-Class. As such, don’t expect it to headline stories in terms of performance. The EQS sedan focuses on quiet comfort, long range, and technology that truly impacts the experience on the road. It’s aimed at buyers who want the full-size luxury experience – minus the gasoline – and who put a premium on refinement and progress.

This December, Mercedes-Benz rolled out a fresh batch of lease options for both the last of the 2025 EQS models and the updated 2026 lineup. The deals are clearly set up for customers who want top-tier electric luxury free from locking themselves into a long-term purchase. With monthly payments for 2026 models starting just above $1,300, these leases are likely to catch the eye of anyone comparing the EQS to newer premium EVs.

Mercedes-Benz’s Lease Deals for December

Mercedes-Benz is currently offering EQS lease deals on its official website, and they are also available at dealers. Customers can choose from rear-wheel-drive and 4MATIC all-wheel-drive versions. While shorter lease terms are offered, the 36-month plans are the advertised deal. Offers are valid through January 2, 2026, so interested parties have a few days left to avail themselves of these current prices.

If you’re looking at a 2025 EQS, you’ll find lower lease rates and APR finance deals. The 2026 models come with higher rates, but you get standard NACS charging. Note that availability depends on the dealer, and some cars may need to be ordered in.

2026 Mercedes-Benz EQS Highlights

The EQS is all about tech, range, and refinement, which are evident across the range. Every trim level comes with a large lithium-ion battery and standard air suspension, ensuring a plush ride even on rougher surfaces.

Notable features include:

  • EPA-estimated range of up to 390 miles, depending on configuration
  • Single- and dual-motor setups ranging from 335 hp to 516 hp
  • Rear-axle steering for better agility despite full-size dimensions
  • Hyperscreen dashboard with a 17.7-inch central display and optional augmented-reality head-up display

Step inside, and the EQS stands out for its roomy back seat, high-end materials, and a full suite of driver-assist features that come standard across the lineup.

Final Thoughts

Compared to rivals like the Lucid Air or Porsche Taycan, the Mercedes EQS goes its own way. It’s definitely not built for track days, but rather for effortless cruising and technology that makes daily driving easier. That focus makes it a smart pick for leasing, since you get the latest features and luxury minus worrying about long-term depreciation or battery deterioration.

If you’re considering an EQS lease, the current mix of 2025 and 2026 deals gives you options. You can go for lower payments on the outgoing models or get the latest features with the refreshed 2026 versions. Either way, these lease offers are a solid way to get behind the wheel of Mercedes-Benz’s electric flagship.
