This new variant of Mercedes' electric SUV doesn't feature any major changes in design and retains the same battery pack, but the electric motor now delivers a lower state of tune. Before diving into further details, let’s take a look at the variant-wise prices for the all-electric EQS SUV.

*Introductory prices

The new 5-seater variant of the EQS SUV is almost Rs 14 lakh more affordable than its 7-seater version. Do note that both the EQS SUV variants are locally assembled at Mercedes-Benz’ Chakan facility. 

No Design Changes

Mercedes has not made any significant changes to the overall design of the EQS electric SUV. It still features a closed-off grille with the large Mercedes-Benz logo in the center, flanked by sleek LED headlights. A connected LED DRL strip runs the width of the bonnet, complemented by an aggressive-looking bumper. The profile remains unchanged, except for the redesigned alloy wheels. It also features flush-fitting door handles and a charging flap located on the front fender on the passenger side. Rounding off the overall design is a set of connected LED tail lamps.

Same Interior Layout As Before

From the inside, the cabin too remains the same as the EQS 580. The main highlight of the dashboard is its MBUX hyperscreen setup: a 17.7-inch touchscreen, 12.3-inch digital driver’s display, and a 12.3-inch touchscreen for the co-driver, all of which together cover a space measuring 55.5 inches.

It also gets a heads-up display, multi-colour ambient lighting, and a separate screen on the rear centre armrest for rear passengers. The EQS SUV’s safety net packs a 360-degree camera, multiple airbags, various driver-assistance systems, and ISOFIX child seat mounts.

Powertrain Choices

While both EQS 450 and EQS 580 feature the same battery pack, their output figures differ.

The new EQS 450 makes 184 PS less than the EQS 580, but offers 12 km of extra claimed driving range.

Rivals

The Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV takes on the Audi Q8 e-tron and BMW iX in India.
