Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV becomes premium brand’s first all-electric model
Mercedes-Benz has released details of its Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 SUV, a top-line allelectric SUV designed to challenge super-premium SUVs such as the Rolls-Royce Cullinan.
Based on the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV, the car is the first EV in the up-market MercedesMaybach range.
Options include two-tone paintwork with a filigree pinstripe, applied by hand. Five color combinations are available.
In the rear, the standard executive seats are equipped with ventilation, massage function and neck and shoulder heating. There is also a calf massage and the Chauffeur Package. As soon as the right rear passenger chooses the reclining position, the front passenger seat automatically moves forward to the chauffeur position.
The dashboard uses the standard MBUX full-width Hyperscreen, while rear passengers can experience an extensive range of infotainment and comfort features with two 11.6in displays on the backrests of the front seats.
In addition to the Dynamic Select driving modes (Eco, Sport, Offroad and Individual), the Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV has a special Maybach drive mode. It replaces the classic Comfort mode and is designed entirely for maximum driving comfort for the rear passengers. The Maybach driving programme is the standard setting.
The Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 SUV has an output of 484 kW and a range of up to 375 miles (provisional figure). It has 4Matic all-wheel drive as standard, and the battery can be recharged at speeds of up to 200kW, offering a theoretical 1080% recharge time of 31 minutes.
