2022 Porsche 911 Turbo vs. 2022 Mercedes-AMG EQS

The 2022 Mercedes-AMG EQS is a formidable luxury vehicle with blistering acceleration, a kingly interior and superlative riding experience.  But can it beat the 2022 Porsche 911 Turbo, a super car that is renowned for its fantastic appearance, interstellar speed and royal amenities?

Design & Style

The Porsche 911 Turbo can be purchased in cabriolet or coupe form, and both are marvelous. To make things even better, it now comes with standardized all-wheel drive along with a dual clutch eight speed automatic that is considered one of the auto industry’s best. The main revision this year has been to its infotainment system, which uses the newest generation PCM (Porsche Management System). More Apple features are available and the voice recognition has been enhanced. It can seat up to four passengers.

The Mercedes-AMG EQS is capable of seating five and has a suspension which has been calibrated to be sportier and sturdy. Buyers get the option of multiple drive modes, and passengers within the cabin will be presented with a large Hyperscreen with greater trim options such as aluminum and carbon fiber. The seats are covered in plush and supple leather which looks and feels wonderful.

Technology & Safety

Mercedes-Benz is famous for the safety of its vehicles. The Mercedes-AMG EQS retains this reputation through features like cruise control that is adaptive, lane management, automated emergency brakes, multiple airbags and the ability to detect pedestrians and respond accordingly. Its cabin luxuries include augmented reality, climate control which covers multiple zones, MBUX software, premium audio and powered seats that can be cooled heated and adjusted in many ways.

The Porsche 911 Turbo is equipped with every safety function found in the Mercedes-Benz, as well as night vision, lane departure alerts, and driver assistance. Its luxury features are plentiful and include audio from Burmester, satellite radio, wifi, multizone climate control and larger touch displays. Buyers also have the option of Android Auto.

Performance

When it comes to acceleration, speed and maneuverability the Porsche 911 Turbo is an apex predator, as there are few cars that can compete. Those that want maximum power will choose the Turbo S which is dual turbocharged with a flat six, 3.7 liter engine that can generate 640 horsepower, with the ability to go from zero to sixty in an astonishing 2.2 seconds. Those that purchase the Mercedes-AMG EQS Dynamic Plus will get an engine capable of generating 751 horsepower, which allows the vehicle to accelerate from zero to sixty in just 3.4 seconds.

The Bottom Line

While the Mercedes-AMG EQS is impressive, the 911 Turbo slaughters it with vastly superior acceleration, and this combined with the Mercedes-AMG EQS’s unusual sounds and big feel when going around corners makes Porsche the winner.
