The Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV is the pinnacle of the brand’s electric SUV lineup, combining immense luxury, cutting-edge technology, and a truly spacious interior. It’s the largest and most expensive electric SUV from Mercedes-Benz, offering a level of opulence that sets it apart from the competition.
For the Australian market, the EQS SUV is available in a range of variants, each built on the same dedicated EVA platform as the EQS sedan. This platform is key to the car’s generous proportions and impressive capabilities.
- The entry point is the EQS 450 4MATIC SUV. This all-wheel-drive model is powered by a dual-motor setup producing 265 kW and a substantial 800 Nm of torque. It’s equipped with a large 108.4 kWh battery pack, giving it a fantastic WLTP driving range of up to 664 km. A significant feature of this model is its standard seven-seat configuration, which is perfect for large families or those who need the flexibility of extra seating.
- For those who desire more performance, there is the EQS 500 4MATIC SUV and the high-performance EQS 580 4MATIC+. These variants both offer a more exhilarating driving experience with a boost in power and torque.
At the very top of the EQS SUV range sits the breathtaking Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 SUV. This is a masterclass in automotive luxury, designed to offer an unparalleled passenger experience. It features a stunning dual-tone paint finish, unique Maybach-specific design elements, and an interior that is a sanctuary of comfort and technology. The Maybach variant is exclusively a four-seater, swapping the standard rear bench for two luxurious, individual “First Class” seats. These are a work of art, featuring massage, heating, and ventilation functions, as well as a refrigerated compartment and custom champagne goblets. The Maybach also boasts a more powerful dual-motor powertrain, delivering 484 kW of power and 950 Nm of torque, allowing it to sprint from 0-100 km/h in just 4.4 seconds.
All EQS SUV models come standard with Mercedes-Benz’s latest MBUX Hyperscreen, a massive, curved glass panel that houses three screens, along with rear-axle steering for enhanced maneuverability and a comprehensive suite of safety features. The cars can also DC fast-charge at speeds up to 200 kW, allowing the battery to be charged from 10% to 80% in just over 30 minutes. With its unmatched blend of luxury, space, and technology, the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV, and in particular the Maybach variant, sets a new standard for electric motoring in Australia.
