The Maybach EQS SUV Premiere marks a significant milestone for the legendary car brand, as it is the company’s first all-electric series model. Building on the technology of the EQS SUV from Mercedes-EQ, the Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV combines cutting-edge electric power with the unparalleled exclusivity and luxury that Maybach is known for.
The exterior design of the Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV is truly distinctive, with a front end that is typical of the Maybach brand, featuring chrome accents and the iconic Mercedes emblem as a design element. The black panel front is a standout feature, carrying the specific Maybach radiator grille into the age of electromobility. The grille is made up of vertical, chrome-plated trim strips, which give it a three-dimensional depth look. The front of the SUV is smooth closed for the first time, with the high-tech element for the radar sensors fully integrated and no longer visible.
The side of the vehicle features bold chrome surrounds on the side windows and the chrome-plated B-pillar trim, which is an integral part of the Mercedes-Maybach signature and highlights the length of the rear seating area. The pronounced wheel arches with claddings in high-gloss black emphasize the SUV’s power and emotional presence. The Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV rolls on exclusive 21 or 22-inch alloy and forged wheels, with the MAYBACH lettering found on the integrated, exquisitely designed wheel hub caps.
The rear of the vehicle is equally impressive, with the rear lights forming a continuous light strip with a two-part helix that underlines the exclusive character of the car. The lights are animated across the entire width, providing a striking visual effect. Chrome trim elements on the tailgate, the rear apron, the spoiler lip, and the MAYBACH lettering complete the rear design.
The Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV also offers a brand-typical two-tone paintwork with a filigree pinstripe, which is applied by hand according to the highest quality criteria. The paintwork is available in five color combinations, including high-tech silver/obsidian black, high-tech silver/nautical blue, obsidian black/selenite grey, obsidian black/kalahari gold, and velvet brown/onyx black.
Inside the vehicle, the Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV offers a spacious interior that features exquisite materials, perfect craftsmanship, and exclusive details. The result is a holistic comfort experience with a cocooning effect that is consistent with the brand’s interpretation of Sophisticated Luxury. The lounge character of the interior promises luxurious travel at the highest level, with every detail designed to offer the utmost in comfort and style.
The Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV’s interior design adheres to the Maybach philosophy of combining functionality with beauty. The front passengers are treated to the standard MBUX Hyperscreen, featuring a “zero layer” and Mercedes-Maybach-specific start-up animations on all three displays. The elegant deep blue hue enhances the overall visual appeal of the cabin, with numerous exclusive features that include animated displays of the instrument cluster in “MAYBACH” mode. The pointers in the tubes are designed to resemble a silk scarf, gracefully fluttering in the wind according to the speed and driving style, while the digits dynamically fade in or out. The rose gold surrounds of the round instruments are typical of the brand. The sporty “Pure EV” display style offers an alternative to the tubes, with a three-dimensional performance bar conveying the driving status.
The central display presents the familiar home screen and “zero layer,” with the navigation map taking center stage. Eighty percent of the most common interactions can be performed directly in this basic setting, and the system responds intelligently to personalized suggestions and forward-looking offers.
All three displays’ functional content and operating structure correspond to those of the EQS SUV from Mercedes-EQ, with three customizable display styles (discreet, sporty, MAYBACH) and three modes (navigation, assistance, service). In the discreet style, content is reduced as much as possible and harmonized with the ambient lighting’s color change.
The rear passengers enjoy the same comprehensive range of infotainment and comfort features with two 11.6-inch displays on the front seat backs. The MBUX High-End Rear Seat Entertainment is standard, allowing for easy content sharing on various displays. The MBUX rear tablet is also included, which can be used outside the vehicle, and the MBUX Interior Assist, which recognizes passenger operating requests via body and hand movements, is standard equipment.
The Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV’s interior features natural materials crafted with exquisite skill, providing a stylish contrast to the high-tech appearance. Maybach Exclusive Nappa leather is standard in the warm espresso brown/balao brown pearl color scheme, with Macchiato beige/bronze brown pearl available as an option. Maybach MANUFAKTUR Exclusive Nappa leather in crystal white/silver grey pearl is also available for an even more sophisticated look. Natural woods are also available as decorative parts, including MANUFAKTUR brown open-pore birch wood and brown open-pore MANUFAKTUR walnut wood, as well as MANUFAKTUR piano lacquer black flowing lines.
The Maybach emblem appears at various points as a design element, emphasizing the brand’s high-quality aesthetic. It adorns the stainless steel pedal system, headrest cushions, front seat backrests, and the footwell in the rear as a projection. It can also be found on the wood trim between the rear seats in conjunction with the first-class rear. The brand lettering distinguishes the steering wheel and greets passengers in illuminated form on the stainless steel door sills. When the trunk is open, it is visible on the tailgate’s inner lining.
In the rear of the Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV, the combination of exquisite materials, perfect craftsmanship and exclusive details creates a self-contained feel-good atmosphere for all the senses – the so-called cocooning effect. Like the front seats, the standard Executive seats are equipped with ventilation, massage function and neck and shoulder heating. There is also a calf massage and the Chauffeur Package. As soon as the right rear passenger chooses the reclining position, the front passenger seat automatically moves forward to the chauffeur position. The massage programmes are also available as part of ENERGIZING COMFORT.
With the equipment First-Class Rear, the front centre console continues like a floating band to the rear seats. It was redesigned for the all-electric Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV. Wooden trim adorns the rear storage compartment for the first time. It complements the wooden trim on the backs of the front seat backrests and between the rear seats, visually reinforcing the cocooning feel-good atmosphere. Also new is a projector in the centre console that discreetly projects the Maybach emblem onto the floor. As in the Mercedes‑Maybach S-Class, the additional equipment includes two thermal cup holders and a shelf for the standard MBUX rear tablet. Four fast-charging USB-C ports and two HDMI interfaces also ensure that travellers can easily use their own digital devices. On request, the centre console can include two folding tables, a cooling compartment and silver-plated champagne goblets.
