Mercedes positions the Maybach EQS SUV as an electric first-class travel lounge, combining the quiet, immediate response of a high-powered EV with an especially spacious and comfort-focused rear cabin. Its core strengths are chauffeured-passenger comfort, extensive sound insulation, richly finished materials, large displays, strong dual-motor AWD performance, and technology intended to make a large SUV easy and relaxing to drive.
The EQS 680 4MATIC remains an executive-class electric SUV designed to feel like a quiet first-class lounge, especially for passengers in the rear. Its signature equipment includes 649-hp dual electric motors with AWD, air suspension, rear-wheel steering, massaging front and rear seats, three dashboard displays, and a Burmester surround-sound system.
