Mercedes Benz recently launched the EQS SUV in India at Rs 1.41 crore (ex-showroom). The EQS SUV is the second launch in the EQS range, following the sedan, and it shares many features with its sibling.
It’s designed for those who care about luxury but also want to tread lightly on our planet. News18 Auto had the chance to drive the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV 580 4Matic, and we must say, it was quite an experience. This luxury electric SUV surprised us in many ways, starting with its stunning design.
The EQS SUV doesn’t scream for attention like other SUVs. Instead of being massive and imposing like the GLS, this one has a sleek, aerodynamic profile. The glossy black grille with a scattering of three-pointed stars is a standout feature, while the multi-spoke 21-inch alloys complete the look.
The digital lights with 1 million pixels per headlamp makes the front end look modern and appealing. The overall design prioritizes aerodynamics, evident in the flush door handles and the low drag coefficient of just 0.26.
The rounded rear design, complete with 3D tail-lamps, is clean and functional, yet it doesn’t feel too over the top. All in all, the EQS SUV blends luxury with practicality beautifully. The EQS SUV looks a lot like the EQE, but there are many differences when you look closely.
It’s a larger SUV with three rows of seats, more features, a bigger battery, and more power. Although they might seem similar, the EQS is much bigger. It is 273mm longer overall, with 25mm of t.
