The Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV has made a silent but luxurious arrival on our shores.
Luxury has always been a hallmark of the Maybach name, but with the EQS SUV, Mercedes-Maybach is blending their impeccable craftsmanship with electric mobility.
This is a Maybach after all, and its design amplifies that. Every line, curve, and finish has been meticulously crafted. The exterior gleams with Maybach’s signature touches: a bold, upright grille (purely aesthetic here), framed by the exclusive Maybach emblem and sleek LED lights that signal elegance before you even get close.
But while the silhouette remains powerful, it’s softened by subtle cues; a rounded nose, flowing lines, and a streamlined profile that’s modern. And at over five meters long, it has the presence to match its pedigree.
Step into the EQS SUV, and you’re greeted by a cabin that feels more like a personal lounge than an SUV. Mercedes-Maybach has designed this interior as a sanctuary, blending high-end materials to create a space where you can relax, recharge, and stay connected.
The interior is dominated by the MBUX Hyperscreen, a 56-inch expanse of glass that stretches from one side of the dashboard to the other. It’s a seamless interface, with three high-resolution displays integrated under one glass panel, bringing everything literally to your fingertips.
The seats are pure bliss. Leather-wrapped, reclining, heated, and ventilated, with built-in massagers.
Rear passengers are equally pampered, with individual screens, ambient lighting that adjusts to your mood, and an onboard fragrance system that gently infuses the cabin with a scent of your choice.
And for the audiophiles, there’s the Burmester 4D sound system, a setup that turns the EQS SUV into a rolling concert hall, complete with speakers in the seats.
No two Maybachs are the same, and the EQS SUV is no exception. From hand-stitched leather upholstery in a range of bespoke colours to unique trim and custom lighting options, the EQS SUV can be tailored to reflect your personal style.
And if that’s not enough, there’s an array of personalization options available through the Maybach Atelier. After all, why settle for anything less?
The EQS SUV is powered by dual electric motors, producing a total of 649hp and 950Nm of torque. Yes, it’s an electric powerhouse, but it’s about delivering a ride so smooth you barely feel a ripple beneath you. With Mercedes’ AIRMATIC air suspension and continuously adjustable damping, the EQS SUV glides over the road.
And with a range of up to 600km on a single charge, you’re not constantly searching for a charging station. But when you do need to recharge, the EQS SUV supports ultra-fast DC charging, reaching 80% in around 30 minutes. The SUV also comes equipped with an advanced energy recuperation system that adjusts depending on the driving mode.
Mercedes-Maybach hasn’t held back on tech features in the EQS SUV. The car’s AI-driven MBUX system learns your preferences, anticipating everything from your favourite seating position to preferred ambient lighting. Then there’s the Maybach-exclusive “chauffeur mode,” which allows rear-seat passengers to control media and climate settings independently.
Equipped with Mercedes-Benz’s latest driver-assistance suite, the EQS SUV features active lane-keeping, adaptive cruise control, and a 360-degree camera system. The Night View Assist function enhances visibility in low-light conditions, highlighting pedestrians and animals.
Plus, you’ve got the “Mercedes me” app, which syncs seamlessly with your EQS, allowing you to control everything from charging schedules to climate settings from your smartphone.
If you happen to be one of the few who can open your wallet for the Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV, you won’t be disappointed.
And if you’re wondering about the price, you’re probably not one of those folks.
