Stuttgart – The EQS SUV is the first all-electric luxury SUV from Mercedes-EQ. At market launch, the model range comprises three variants: EQS 450+ and EQS 450 4MATIC, each with 265 kW output, and the EQS 580 4MATIC with 400 kW.

The models can be ordered now and will reach the first customers in Europe in December. The model series is produced in a CO2-neutral manner at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Tuscaloosa (USA).
The SUV offers plenty of space, comfort, and connectivity in its avant-garde, luxurious interior. The second row of seats can be electrically adjusted as standard. A third row of seats with two additional individual seats is available as an option (1,904 euros). The seats in the EQS SUV fold up from the load floor mechanically. With the seats folded, the floor is level. In combination with the third row of seats, an EASY ENTRY function is standard in the second row of seats.
There are not only three drive variants to choose from, but also three model types. These differ in several details, both outside and inside:

Mercedes-Benz has bundled other important equipment into packages. These are called Advanced, Advanced Plus, Premium, Premium Plus and Business Class and build on each other. Their availability depends on the model type. In addition, a number of optional extras are also available individually. Here is an overview of the most important options:
- MBUX Augmented Reality Head-up Display (1,082.90 euros): displays a lot of augmented reality content for driver assistance systems as well as navigation information. For the driver, they merge with the environment in front of the vehicle and can thus help to reduce driver distraction.

- MBUX Interior Assistant (642.60 euros): recognizes numerous different operating requests with the help of cameras in the roof control unit and learning algorithms. It interprets which way the head points, hand movements, and body language and reacts with appropriate vehicle functions.
- Trailer Manoeuvring Assist (416.50 euros): facilitates maneuvering with the towing vehicle by automatically controlling the steering angle on the towing vehicle up to a speed of 5 km/h and up to a gradient of 15 percent.
- Sidebags in the rear (452.20 euros): they cover the chest area of the occupants in the outer rear seats of the second row in the event of a severe side impact and supplement the protection provided by the standard window airbags.
