9/5/2024 • Bengaluru, India • News

Mercedes-Benz India has unveiled the luxurious Maybach EQS SUV, combining opulence with electric performance, available now for Rs 2.25 crore.

The Grand Debut of the Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV

In a bold move that redefines luxury in the electric vehicle segment, Mercedes-Benz India has introduced the much-anticipated Maybach EQS SUV, priced at a staggering ₹2.25 crore (ex-showroom). As the brand’s flagship electric offering, the EQS SUV sets a new benchmark in the Indian market, now standing as the second most expensive electric SUV after the formidable Lotus Eletre.

This launch is particularly compelling as it marks the first-ever Mercedes-Maybach electric vehicle to hit Indian roads, blending the gargantuan luxury touch that Maybach is renowned for with cutting-edge EV technology.

Uniquely Maybach: Exterior and Interior Design

At first glance, the Maybach EQS SUV captivates with its commanding presence and exquisite detailing. Measuring the same as the standard EQS SUV, it distinguishes itself through the iconic Maybach design elements that radiate opulence. The front boasts a massive black grille adorned with elegant vertical chrome strips—a hallmark of the Maybach lineage, often referred to as the Maybach waterfall grille. Ingeniously crafted from indium, the grille panel cleverly allows radar signals to pass through, eliminating the need for an intrusive radar panel, thus preserving the SUV's sleek aesthetics.

The SUV showcases the legendary three-pointed star now positioned atop the bonnet, while the optional dual-tone paint scheme will undoubtedly catch the eye of those looking for a bespoke touch.

Stepping inside the Maybach EQS SUV is akin to entering a mobile sanctuary of luxury. Its interior mirrors that of the EQS SUV but comes alive with Maybach-specific enhancements that elevate the experience. The captivating triple-screen display commands attention upon startup, and those seated in the rear are treated to a first-class experience, equipped with dual 11.6-inch displays mounted on the front seatbacks. The MBUX tablet, designed for the rear passengers, enhances connectivity and entertainment, enabling them to stay plugged in even when they're away from the vehicle.

Mercedes has left no stone unturned in ensuring maximum comfort and convenience for its guests with optional packages such as the Chauffeur Package and First-Class Rear Package. These bundles come complete with luxury features like thermal cup holders, a dedicated shelf for the rear tablet, multiple USB-C and HDMI ports, and even folding tables and silver-plated champagne goblets—all thoughtfully designed for discreet indulgence.

Performance and Powertrain: An Electric Titan

Under the hood, the Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV is powered by an impressive dual electric motor setup in the exclusive EQS 680 trim. It unleashes a staggering 658hp and a massive torque of 950Nm, skillfully delivered to all four wheels thanks to the sophisticated 4Matic AWD system. The performance characteristics are nothing short of exhilarating, capable of sprinting from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.4 seconds before reaching a top speed of 210 km/h.

This exquisite SUV doesn't just offer power; it's engineered for efficiency as well. With a WLTP-certified range of up to 611km on a single charge, it ensures that luxury is accompanied by practicality. For charging, the 122kWh battery is designed to be easy to manage—utilizing a 200kW DC fast charger, it can refresh from 10% to 80% in just 31 minutes. Moreover, in a mere 20 minutes, drivers can expect to gain 300 km of range, making it a viable option for both leisurely drives and long escapes.

The Competitive Edge

While the Maybach EQS SUV has entered the market at a price point that places it among the elite, its competition landscape is distinctly sparse. With no direct rivals that match its unique blend of luxury and electric performance, the EQS SUV poses a significant challenge to its closest competitor, the Lotus Eletre, which claims the title for the most expensive electric SUV in India.

In Conclusion

The Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV is more than just a means of transportation; it’s a statement of prestige and advancement in the realm of electric mobility. As it rolls onto Indian roads, it invites both enthusiasts and discerning buyers to indulge in an experience carefully curated by generations of luxury and innovation. For those looking to elevate their driving experience, the Maybach EQS SUV promises a journey steeped in grandeur and pioneering technology—a truly unparalleled offering in today’s market.
