Mercedes-Benz India will announce prices for the EQS Maybach electric SUV on September 5. The EQS Maybach SUV made its debut in China last year and will join the Mercedes-Maybach GLS SUV in the brand’s India line-up. It is the brand’s flagship electric SUV globally, and in order to differentiate itself from the standard EQS SUV, it gets Maybach-specific design, feature and tech upgrades.

  1. Maybach EQS SUV sports brand-specfific changes, outside and in
  2. India to get top-spec EQS 680 variant  

Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV exteriors

The Maybach EQS SUV gets chrome highlights on the outside and a plethora of Maybach logos all around, just like the facelifted Mercedes-Maybach GLS that went on sale in India recently. It gets a sealed-off black panel at the front that mimics a grille – this large panel actually has radar sensors for ADAS – and it also gets vertical chrome strips that give it a 3D look. The upper part of the faux grille – like other Maybach models – has “Maybach” lettering in chrome.

On the sides, the Maybach EQS SUV gets more chrome on the window line and B-pillar, and an additional Maybach logo on the D-pillar. It also gets “EQS” embossed on the window frame, similar to the standard EQS SUV. Wheel and tyre choices include 21- or 22-inch alloy and forged wheels with Maybach lettering. It also gets factory-fitted illuminated running boards finished in anodised aluminium.

Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV interiors

The Maybach EQS SUV's dashboard is similar to the regular EQS SUV – it gets three different screens that come with Maybach-specific graphics. The numerous exclusive features on the screens include the animated display of the instrument cluster in Maybach mode.

The rear seat entertainment package comprises two 11.6-inch displays on the front seatbacks. It also comes with the MBUX tablet at the rear, which can also be used outside the vehicle.

Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV powertrain, specs 

While the Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV gets two electric powertrain options abroad, India will only get the top-spec 680 variant. It gets the 4Matic AWD tech as standard, and has up to 658hp and 950Nm of total output. The 680 has a range of up to 600km (WLTP), 0-100kph comes up in a claimed 4.4 seconds, and it has a top speed of 210kph. Overseas, the Maybach EQS also comes in 580 4Matic form, with a power output of 544hp and a range of up to 456km. Expect more details on the Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV to be revealed closer to its launch.
