Design: A Blend of Elegance and Futurism
The Mercedes-Benz EQS 450 SUV carries forward the sleek and futuristic design language of the EQS lineup. Key design highlights include:
- Blanked-Off Black Panel Grille: Extending seamlessly into the lower front bumper for a clean, aerodynamic look.
- Connected LED Headlamps: Running across the width of the car, these lights add a modern touch to the front fascia.
- Full-Width LED Tail Lamps: The rear profile closely resembles the luxurious Maybach EQS, with subtle tweaks to differentiate the EQS 450.
This design not only enhances the SUV’s aesthetics but also improves its aerodynamic efficiency, contributing to better range and performance.
Interior: Luxury Meets Technology
The EQS 450 SUV is designed for those who value space, comfort, and cutting-edge technology. The cabin is tailored for buyers who prefer being chauffeur-driven, offering a host of premium features:
- Mercedes Hyperscreen Setup:
- A 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster.
- A massive 17.7-inch touchscreen infotainment system.
- A 12.3-inch front passenger screen for added convenience.
- Rear Entertainment: Dual 11.6-inch screens for rear passengers.
- Premium Comfort Features:
- Soft-close doors.
- Puddle lamps and illuminated running boards.
- Five-zone climate control for personalized comfort.
- Immersive Audio: A 15-speaker Burmester sound system ensures a top-notch audio experience.
- Safety and Assistance: Equipped with Level 2 ADAS, 9 airbags, and advanced driver assistance features for a safe and stress-free drive.
Performance: Power Meets Efficiency
The EQS 450 SUV is powered by a 122 kWh battery pack, the largest in any passenger EV in India. Paired with dual electric motors, it delivers:
- 544 hp of power and 858 Nm of torque.
- 4Matic All-Wheel Drive (AWD) for superior traction and control.
- A 0-100 km/h sprint in just 4.7 seconds, making it one of the quickest SUVs in its class.
The battery supports 200 kW DC fast charging, allowing it to charge from 10% to 80% in just 31 minutes.
Range: Go the Distance
The 7-seater EQS 580 SUV boasts an ARAI-certified range of 809 km on a single charge. With the EQS 450 being a lighter 5-seater variant, it is expected to offer an even better range, making it ideal for long-distance travel without frequent charging stops.
Why the EQS 450 SUV Stands Out
The EQS 450 SUV is not just another electric vehicle; it’s a statement of luxury, performance, and sustainability. With its spacious cabin, advanced features, and impressive range, it caters to the needs of modern luxury EV buyers in India.

Combining cutting-edge technology, luxurious interiors, and exceptional performance, it promises to be a strong contender in the premium EV segment.
