Compare the2024 Mercedes EQS SUVVS 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV

For enhanced safety, the front and second-row seat shoulder belts of the Mercedes EQS SUV have pretensioners to tighten the seatbelts and eliminate dangerous slack in the event of a collision and force limiters to limit the pressure the belts will exert on the passengers.
