Mercedes-Benz India has launched the Maybach EQS electric SUV for Rs 2.25 crore (ex-showroom), making it the second most expensive electric SUV in India, following the Lotus Eletre. This also marks the debut of the Maybach brand in the electric segment. It has no direct rival in the Indian market.
Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 – Exterior Design
The Mercedes Maybach EQS stands apart from the regular EQS SUV with exclusive Maybach design elements, upgraded features, and advanced technology. Design-wise, the Maybach EQS 680 blends Mercedes’ EQ electric design with the luxury of the Maybach line. It features a signature Maybach grille with vertical chrome slats, while the headlights come from the EQ family.
From the side, it resembles the standard EQS SUV but adds premium touches like flush door handles, 21-inch forged alloy wheels, and a ‘Maybach’ badge on the C-pillars. At the rear, a chrome-detailed bumper enhances its upscale look.
It comes in five dual-tone colour options, including High-tech Silver/Nautic Blue, Satin Brown/Onyx Black, and Obsidian Black/Kalahari Gold.

Gesture controls allow you to operate the touchscreen, sunroof, and doors.
