Mercedes is all set to launch the EQS in India on August 24. The flagship electric sedan will first come in the AMG 53 4Matic+ form through the Completely Built Unit (CBU) route. The regular 450+ and 580 variants along with the compact EQB SUV will be launched later this festive season and will be locally assembled.
Powering the all-electric AMG is a 107.8 kWh lithium-ion battery that powers the twin-motor setup (mounted on each axle). The twin-motor puts out 649 bhp and 950 Nm, which translates into a 0-100 time of 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 220 km/hr. Whereas the ones fitted with Dynamic Pack produce a peak output of 751 bhp (in race mode with at least 80% charge left), which makes the EQS sprint form 0-100 in 3.4 seconds, also the top speed is increased to 250 km/hr.
The EQS will feature the Mercedes Benz’s latest hyper screen, which comes with three displays: the instrument cluster, the infotainment system, and a screen for the passenger. Also on offer will be the 4-axle steering that will make the car much easier to maneuver.
The EQS 53 4Matic+ will rival the likes of the Audi RS E-tron GT and the Porsche Taycan Turbo. Expected to be priced around Rs.1.8-2.2 crore (ex-showroom)
