Mercedes-Benz has launched its flagship electric luxury SUV in India which is called the EQS SUV. This is the SUV version of the EQS sedan while earlier we had the EQS Maybach on sale which is the super luxury version of the car.
Priced at an introductory Rs 1.4 cr, the EQS the biggest SUV in the electric range and comes with a blanked off grille but unlike the Maybach, there is less chrome. There is a light bar and LED headlamps plus a full width LED taillamps too. It is roughly the size of the full size combustion engined GLS.
Available in the EQS 580 variant, you get a hyper screen on the inside which consists of three screens joined together. Other features include a 15 speaker Burmester audio system, soft close doors, five zone climate control, ADAS and full length sunroof plus more.
Being a 7 seater it is the largest and most practical EV luxury SUV on sale and the second row has a huge amount of space plus there is a flat floor due to an EV architecture.
This electric SUV comes with a 122kWh battery pack which promises a range of more than 800km ARAI. With dual motors, this big SUV is fast too with 544bhp and 858Nm.
The EQS SUV is much cheaper than the Maybach version while being positioned as a top-end electric SUV alongside the sedan which has been on sale earlier.
Mercedes-Benz has been steadily adding to its EV range with the EQA already launched this year and more coming while now there is the EQE and the EQS as well.
