Mercedes-Benz India has unveiled its latest luxury marvel, the Maybach EQS 680, priced at Rs 2.25 crore (ex-showroom). This flagship electric SUV marks the debut of the fully electric Maybach series, offering a plethora of customization options ranging from exterior paint to bespoke upholstery and interior trims. Here’s a closer look at this stunning new EV.
Striking Design and Exterior
Despite being an electric vehicle, the Maybach EQS 680 retains its signature luxury SUV aesthetic. The front features a prominent black grille panel mimicking the iconic Maybach waterfall grille with vertical chrome slats. The classic three-pointed star now rests on the bonnet, while the grille houses the radar panel for advanced driver assistance features. Like other Maybach models, the EQS sports the distinctive dual-tone paint scheme, adding a sophisticated touch to its visual appeal.
Luxurious Interior and Technology
Inside, the Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 is nothing short of a technological marvel. It comes equipped with the brand’s latest MBUX Hyperscreen, featuring Maybach-specific start-up animations. The dashboard is dominated by three expansive screens – the instrument cluster, the infotainment display, and an additional screen for the passenger.
For rear-seat entertainment, customers can opt for a package that includes dual 11.6-inch displays mounted behind the front seats. The seats themselves are crafted from Nappa leather and come with adjustable recline and massage functions, allowing for extensive personalization.
Rear passengers also enjoy a host of amenities, including a wooden-trimmed center console, access to a trunk-mounted fridge, and even the option for champagne flute glasses. The Chauffeur package and First-Class rear package further elevate the experience, offering luxuries such as thermal cup holders and folding tables. There’s even a dedicated shelf for the rear MBUX tablet, adding yet another screen to the mix.
Powertrain and Performance
Under the hood, the Maybach EQS 680 is powered by a 122kWh battery and dual electric motors, delivering a staggering 658bhp and 950Nm of torque. This impressive setup allows the SUV to accelerate from 0-100kmph in just 4.4 seconds, with a top speed of 210kmph.
With a WLTP-certified range of 611km on a single charge, the Maybach EQS offers one of the best ranges in the luxury EV segment. Additionally, it supports 200kW DC fast charging, enabling the battery to go from 10% to 80% in just 31 minutes, making it both fast and convenient.
Final Thoughts
The Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 is a perfect blend of luxury, technology, and eco-conscious performance. With its customizable features, cutting-edge tech, and powerful electric drivetrain, it is poised to set a new standard in the ultra-luxury electric SUV segment in India.
