The arrival of the Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 SUV: A new era of electric luxury

Mercedes-Maybach, famed for its S-Class and 6 Cabriolet, marks a new era of sophisticated luxury with the introduction of the all-electric EQS 680 SUV at the Eureka Griffin Club in Singapore. This groundbreaking vehicle seamlessly combines cutting-edge electric performance with the timeless elegance and refinement expected of a Maybach flagship, offering an extraordinary driving experience that’s both eco-friendly and exhilarating.

The EQS 680 SUV is powered by two permanently excited synchronous motors, delivering an impressive 484 kW of power and 955 Nm of torque. Thanks to its exceptional energy efficiency, the SUV offers a range of up to 635 km on a full charge, while a 15-minute charge provides a range of 220 km. The EQS 680 SUV can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.4 seconds, reaching a top speed of 210 km/h.

What truly sets this electric SUV apart is its athletic appeal, highlighted by a coupe-like silhouette, alongside bespoke design elements that blend traditional Maybach craftsmanship with avant-garde styling cues.

At the front, the EQS 680 SUV immediately establishes its Maybach pedigree with an elegant black grille and multi-beam LED headlights, creating a striking, futuristic aesthetic. The body is accentuated by chrome detailing and features the signature Maybach pattern, complete with small emblems that enhance its premium appeal. The signature two-tone paint option further elevates its exclusivity, too.

The rear of the vehicle continues the theme of refinement, with chrome trim elements, Maybach lettering and a sleek light strip that spans the entire width, creating a visually dynamic finish.

Another exclusive feature of the EQS 680 SUV is its automatic comfort doors, standard at both the front and rear. These doors utilise ultrasonic sensors from the parking assistant system, allowing them to open automatically when the driver approaches within 1.5 metres. This innovative feature helps prevent the doors from hitting surrounding vehicles or obstacles when parked, adding both convenience and practicality to the luxury experience.

Inside, the EQS 680 SUV continues to impress. The cabin features an expansive central display that spans the full width of the dashboard, integrating navigation, media and vehicle functions in an intuitive, easy-to-use interface. Passengers in the rear are also treated to MBUX High-End Rear Seat Entertainment, offering an extensive range of infotainment and comfort features, all conveniently located at the backrest of the front seats.

The seats are upholstered in vegetable-tanned Nappa leather, while natural woods are used for the trim parts, offering a warm contrast to the vehicle’s otherwise futuristic interior. Every element inside has been thoughtfully designed to provide the ultimate in luxury and comfort.

As with all Maybach vehicles, the EQS 680 SUV offers the opportunity for personalisation through Manufaktur, Mercedes-Maybach’s bespoke division. This exclusive service allows owners to select from an extensive range of premium colours, luxurious materials and unique finishes, ensuring that each vehicle is a true reflection of the owner’s personal style and preferences.
