After more than a year since its global unveiling, the Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 electric SUV has now been launched in India, priced at Rs 2.25 crore (ex-showroom pan-India). The Maybach EQS 680 is the first all-electric Maybach from the automaker not just in India, but worldwide. Let’s take a closer look at what this luxurious electric SUV has to offer.
Looks Futuristic Yet Elegant
The design of the Maybach EQS 680 blends the styling elements of both EQ (Merc’s nomenclature for electric offerings) and Maybach (the luxury focussed division of the carmaker) families. Up front, it gets a signature Maybach grille which is a large gloss black closed panel with the vertical chrome slats. The headlights, on other hand, come from the EQ family.
In profile, this Maybach electric SUV looks a lot like the standard EQS SUV, however it gets more premium elements like flush-type door handles, forged 21-inch alloy wheels with different design choices, and there’s also the ‘Maybach’ badge on the C-pillars to help for an easy identification. The rear also echoes the design of the regular EQS SUV, however, the bumper here gets a prominent chrome treatment enhancing its premium appeal.
The Maybach EQS 680 gets a typical Maybach-like dual-tone shade. It is being offered in five dual-tone paint options: High-tech SIlver/Nautic Blue, Satin Brown/Onyx Black, Obsidian Black/Selenite Grey, High-tech Silver/Onyx Black, and Obsidian Black/MANUFACTUR Kalahari Gold Metallic.

At the rear, the Maybach EQS 680 features individual lounge seats with two 11.6-inch individual displays for the occupants.
Other features on board this electric Maybach SUV include a triple screen setup (includes touchscreen, passenger screen, and digital driver’s display), two individual panoramic sunroofs, wireless phone chargers for both front and rear passengers, and electrically adjustable front and rear seats with memory function. The list of amenities also includes heating and ventilation function for all four seats, and gesture controls, using which you can control the touchscreen, open the sunroof, and close the doors.
The safety suite on the Maybach EQS 680 comprises 11 airbags, electronic stability control (ESC), a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), a 360-degree camera, and level 2 advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) features like lane keep assist, autonomous emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, and adaptive cruise control.
