The Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV is an incredibly luxurious electric SUV with fairly underwhelming styling, despite the enormous price tag. Today I’m reviewing this EQS SUV and I’ll show you the many quirks and features. I’m also going to get behind the wheel and show you what it’s like to drive. It’s crafted to redefine travel while advancing cherished traditions. It’s sculpted to command the wind and captivate the eye.

Electric, elegant and exhilarating are all redefined for a new age. Comfort extends to new dimensions. Lavish accommodations for four or five are lined with vegetable-tanned leathers and natural woods. Purity defines the air you breathe, the hushed ambience, and the soulful indulgence. Twin electric motors and a near-400-volt lithium-ion battery can deliver a combined 649 hp and 700 lb-ft of torque.
It can rush you to 100 km/h in just over four seconds. And recharge its battery to 80 percent in just half an hour. Technological innovations put driver and passenger perfectly at ease. The central display allows the driver immediate access to the vast majority of interactions, and the system reacts to specific situations, learning over time to offer the right suggestions.

The displays can be customized with three different styles: understated, sport and MAYBACH. In the rear, two 11.6-inch displays allow passengers to interact, as does the MBUX rear tablet, which works beyond the vehicle. And with MBUX Interior Assistant, passengers can trigger vehicle functions like switching on reading lights with a simple wave of the hand.
