Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV 5-seater launch in January; claims range of 809 km on a single charge
In 2024, Mercedes-Benz launched more than six important products in India, making it a very exciting year. Mercedes has announced that it would introduce the all-electric G-Wagon to the nation on January 9. However, we now know that other products will also be shown on same day. On the same day, Mercedes-Benz will also introduce a five-seater EQS electric SUV. Aside from the Maybach model, this is the second EQS SUV model to arrive in India. It is officially known as the EQS 450. A seven-seat version of the existing EQS 580 4Matic SUV is available.
The same 122 kWh battery pack that powers its seven-seater brother will power the new EQS 450 SUV. At the moment, it is the passenger EV in India with the greatest stated cell capacity. A twin-motor configuration with 538 horsepower and 858 Nm of peak torque will be powered by this battery. A 200kW DC fast charger can charge the battery from 10 to 80 percent in 31 minutes.

With its blanked-off grille and LED headlights joined by a light bar, the base EQS SUV will continue to have its recognisable appearance. It maintains the EQS 580’s aerodynamic shape, but the 21-inch alloy wheels have a fresh look. The most noticeable change within the interior will be the new seating arrangement, which will provide the people in the backseat extra legroom and kneeroom and make the experience more pleasant. Additionally, a bigger boot is expected, indicating improved practicality.
Features like a 56-inch Hyperscreen setup with a 12.3-inch instrument cluster and front passenger screen and a 17.7-inch central touchscreen infotainment, a 5-speaker Burmester audio system, 360-degree camera, 5-zone automatic climate control, twin 11.6-inch rear entertainment screens, and more are probably going to stay the same as those of the EQS 580. Level 2 ADAS, nine airbags, and other safety measures will be included.

Customers looking for more interior room, particularly those who are chauffeur-driven, will be served by the new EQS 450 SUV. The EQS 450 will be domestically manufactured in India using CKD kits, just like its seven-seat sister. The ex-showroom pricing of the latest EQS 580 is Rs 1.41 crore. Expect the next model to be somewhat less expensive than the current trim.
