Mercedes-Maybach has not released its powertrain options for the luxury model yet however, given the current spec Mercedes-Benz EQS tops out with the 580 nameplate, the latest addition to the EQS range thanks to Mercedes-Maybach could offer more power.

The current EQS SUV has three options available in Australia.

The EQS SUV range kicks off with the rear-wheel drive EQS 450+, powered by a single electric motor producing 265kW of power and 568Nm of torque.

In September 2021, Mercedes-Maybach revealed a concept version of the EQS SUV at the Munich motor show.

The concept rides on the same Electric Vehicle Architecture (EVA) as the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV and EQS fastback, EQE sedan and smaller EQE SUV.

It sticks to traditional Mercedes-Maybach design cues with chrome trim, a chrome waterfall grille, a two-tone paint scheme, Maybach badging on its D pillar and bold ‘Bowl’ design alloy wheels.

The driver’s door will automatically open on approach while a remote function is available for the remaining doors of the vehicle.

Inside the cabin, Mercedes-Maybach included the EQS SUV’s MBUX Hyperscreen with a digital instrument cluster, central touchscreen and front passenger display in one assembly.

The concept features a luxurious two-seat second-row with a prominent centre console, something that could feature on the production model.

In August last year Mercedes-Benz started production of its EQS SUV in the United States ahead of its Australian arrival in the first quarter of this year.
