Mercedes calls it "Redefining automotive excellence in the age of electromobility" with the local launch of the Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV. The rear passenger focused SUV is an interesting proposition in the EV world.
The front is characterised by the brand-typical black panel with vertical, chrome-plated trim strips in a three-dimensional depth look. The high-tech element for the radar sensors is fully integrated and no longer visible. The classic MAYBACH lettering is discreetly incorporated into a chrome-plated decorative strip, which forms a unit with the continuous light strip of the standard DIGITAL LIGHT headlights. Chrome-plated, filigree slats can be found on the air intake of the bumper.
When viewed from the side, specific features include the bold chrome surrounds on the side windows and the chrome-plated B-pillar trim. Appropriately, the Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV rolls on exclusive monoblock 21 or 22-inch alloy and forged wheels. At the rear, the rear lights underline the exclusive character as a continuous light strip with a two-part helix. The lights are animated across the entire width. There are also chrome trim elements on the tailgate, on the rear apron and the spoiler lip, as well as the MAYBACH lettering.
Another eye-catcher are the standard running boards, which are illuminated in the dark. The special appearance of the Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV also includes the brand-typical two-tone paintwork with a filigree pinstripe. Another exclusive feature are the automatic comfort doors at the front and rear. The driver’s door opens automatically when the driver approaches the vehicle at a distance of about 1.5 metres.
A highlight for the front passengers is the standard MBUX Hyperscreen with “zero layer” and Mercedes-Maybach specific start-up animations on all three displays. The surrounds for the round instruments are in rose gold, which is typical of the brand.
The rear passengers experience the same extensive range of infotainment and comfort features with two 11.6-inch displays on the backrests of the front seats. The standard equipment also includes the MBUX rear tablet, which can also be used outside the vehicle, and the MBUX Interior Assist. Like the front seats, 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 massage programmes are also available as part of ENERGIZING COMFORT.
The highest standards also apply to driving comfort. The AIRMATIC air suspension with continuously adjustable damping ADS+ is standard. To increase the ground clearance, the vehicle level can be raised by up to 25 millimetres. Rear-axle steering with a steering angle of up to 4.5 degrees is also standard. The Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 SUV has an output of 484 kW and a range of up to 600 kilometres. It has 4MATIC all-wheel drive as standard.
