2024 Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV pricing and features

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV has been detailed for Australia ahead of its arrival next month.

Joining the smaller EQE SUV in local showrooms, the all-electric EQS SUV – first revealed in April 2022 – will be initially offered in a sole EQS 450 SUV grade.

Priced from $194,990 before on-road costs, the EQS SUV – with an identical wheelbase to the EQS 450 sedan, but with seven seats – undercuts its limousine stablemate by $25,000.

Compared to an internal-combustion GLS upper-large SUV, the EQS SUV commands a circa-$18,000 premium.

Under the skin, the EQS SUV rides on Mercedes-Benz’s dedicated EVA electric vehicle platform shared with the EQS, EQE and EQE SUV.

In Australia, it will be initially offered in EQS 450 SUV form, which, like the EQS 450 sedan, features a 265kW and 800Nm total system output from electric motors on the front and rear axles. It has an NEDC-rated 592-kilometre driving range from a 107.8kWh lithium-ion battery.

As standard, the EQS SUV sports rear-axle steering with a steering angle of up to 4.5 degrees, with an upgrade adding up to 10 degrees of steering angle available for an additional $2900.

In mid-2024, the opulent Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 SUV will arrive in Australia with more luxury appointments, a 484kW/950Nm total system output, and a circa-600km driving range.

Measuring 5125 millimetres long, 1950mm wide and 1718mm tall, with a 3210mm wheelbase, the EQS SUV is 262mm longer, 10mm wider and 32mm taller than the EQS SUV, with an additional 180mm between the front and rear axle.

With all seats in place, the EQS SUV has a 195-litre luggage capacity, rising to between 645 and 880 litres with the third row stowed away, and 2100 litres with the second and third rows down.

Standard equipment includes 21-inch AMG multi-spoke alloy wheels, a wireless phone charger, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a panoramic sunroof, 64-colour interior ambient lighting, and digital matrix LED headlights.

The 12.8-inch MBUX central infotainment system supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and augmented reality satellite navigation, while the standard-fit 15-speaker, 710-watt audio system allows for spatial audio with an Apple Music subscription from the built-in application.

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQS 450 SUV will arrive in local showrooms in September. Details for the Mercedes-Mayback EQS 680 SUV due in Australia in mid-2024 will be announced closer to its launch.
