Unveiled at Auto Shanghai 2023, the new SUV from the German brand Mercedes is the first to be 100% electric.
Based on the EQS platform reworked into an SUV, the Mercedes Maybach EQS 680 SUV benefits from its advanced technologies. The vehicle also features elements specific to the Maybach brand.
Among these, you’ll find the Mercedes star in three dimensions at the center of the hood, with the specific grille from Maybach. The interior has been redesigned to provide luxurious comfort for its owners.
Comfortable seats, a cutting-edge MBUX infotainment system, all aimed at satisfying the desires of the most loyal vehicle buyers of the brand.
What are the characteristics of the new SUV?
Mercedes aims to impress by offering a truly memorable driving and passenger experience. The vehicle measures 5.1 meters long, 2 meters wide, and 1.7 meters high. Plenty of space to stretch your legs and sit comfortably. Moreover, the vehicle will feature vegetable-tanned leather, a process that is less chemical-intensive and more sustainable.
The German brand also incorporates recycled elements to meet their sustainable development goals. Recycled aluminum and steel are used in the vehicle’s construction.
Performance
This vehicle can reach a maximum speed of 210 km/h, with a range of 600 km. You can charge it at home using a 22 kW charger (“WallBox”) or via fast charging at 200 kW.
The battery, manufactured in Mercedes factories in Alabama (USA), will help the brand achieve its goal of reducing CO2 emissions by at least 50% per passenger over the vehicle’s lifetime (compared to 2020).
Customization
The new SUV also offers the possibility to adjust the 253 interior LEDs, with 64 different colors, to create the desired ambiance inside the vehicle. The vehicle also features a HEPA filter, similar to those used in hospitals and airplanes, to allow travel without odors.
Finally, in terms of sound system, the vehicle is equipped with 15 speakers featuring Dolby Atmos and the Burmester 4D system. You can fully immerse yourself in a forest or tropical paradise without leaving your seat.
This vehicle is a stunning blend of luxury and performance, likely to come with a very high price upon release. Maybe we can all chip in together?
