Mercedes-Benz India has introduced the updated Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 Coupe and the Mercedes CLE Cabriolet to the Indian market. Additionally, the company has announced the upcoming launch of the Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 luxury electric vehicle, scheduled for September 5, 2024. With an expected starting price of over ₹4 crore (ex-showroom), the EQS 680 will be the priciest EV from Mercedes in India. This model marks the debut of Mercedes-Maybach’s first electric vehicle and follows its global unveiling in April 2023.
The EQS 680 is based on the standard EQS SUV but features extensive Maybach enhancements. It boasts a dual-tone paint scheme with five global color options, though the specific choices for the Indian market have yet to be confirmed. The SUV’s design includes a chrome-plated front panel and Maybach emblem, while the windows feature chrome surrounds.
Inside, the EQS 680’s cabin retains the standard EV layout but adds luxurious Maybach elements, including the ‘MBUX Hyperscreen’ with exclusive themes. Standard features include rear executive seats with ventilation and massage functions, dual 11.6-inch rear displays, and the MBUX rear tablet. Optional upgrades include climate-controlled cup holders, a Chauffeur package for extra legroom, and a redesigned center console with folding tables and champagne goblets.
The vehicle is powered by a 108 kWh battery and dual electric motors, delivering 649 bhp and 950 Nm of torque. It accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 4.4 seconds, with a top speed of 210 km/h and a claimed range of 600 kilometers. The EQS 680 features a 22 kW onboard AC charger and supports 200 kW DC fast charging. It includes Airmatic air suspension with adjustable damping, rear-axle steering, and multiple drive modes, including an exclusive ‘Maybach’ mode for enhanced passenger comfort.
