The 10 Most Impressive Features of the New 2024 Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV

The 2024 Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV stands as a testament to the merging of luxury with electromobility. As the automotive world leans towards sustainable transportation solutions, this model brings forth several noteworthy features that combine the trusted legacy of Maybach with modern electric vehicle design and technology:

1. Distinctive Exterior Design: The front of the SUV is defined by the imposing Mercedes star, which is located front and center on the hood, signifying its status. The brand-typical black panel with vertical chrome-plated trim strips in a three-dimensional depth look covers the front. For the first time, the large black panel is smooth, closed, and fully integrated with the high-tech element for the radar sensors. The wafer-thin and shiny silver material is covered with a black lacquer finish, creating a unique high-gloss black appearance with an extraordinary depth effect. This technological innovation was achieved by using the material indium, which is permeable to radar beams across the entire panel area.

2. Sustainable Luxury: The Mercedes-Benz AG has defined binding criteria for sustainably processed real leather that ensures responsible sourcing of the material. Only animal skins that are ethically sourced and vegetable or chrome-free tanning agents are used, and an eco-balance across all stages of the value-added process is carried out. The 2024 Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV is also equipped with Econyl carpet made from recycled material, including fishing nets and carpets.

3. Style Redefined: As with every Mercedes-Maybach vehicle, the 2024 Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV combines luxury with sustainability. The interior is designed with natural materials that are painstakingly crafted to create a stylish contrast to the high-tech look. The Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV features Maybach Exclusive Nappa Leather as standard, which is available in two warm colors – Espresso Brown/Sable Brown Pearl and Macchiato Beige/Bronze Brown Pearl. An optional, even more sophisticated look is available with Maybach MANUFAKTUR Exclusive Nappa leather in Crystal White/Silver Grey Pearl.

4. Advanced Door Mechanism: Catering to a hands-free user experience, the vehicle's automatic door system detects the driver's approach. The doors at the front and rear open and close in tandem with the user's proximity, blending convenience with innovation.

5. Cutting-Edge Interior Display: The instrument cluster of the 2024 Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV is a sight to behold. The needles of the speedometer and power gauge move gracefully like a silk scarf in the wind as the vehicle accelerates or decelerates. The digits on the gauge change their size dynamically and fade in or out, adding to the immersive experience of the driver. The borders of the round instruments are coated with rose gold, representing the iconic emblem of the brand. The entertainment and navigation system is second to none. The central display is easy to use with intuitive controls, and the home screen showcases the navigation map. The driver can interact with 80% of the most common functions without changing the application. The system reacts situationally and offers intelligent and predictive suggestions that improve the driving experience. The three displays in the vehicle come with three display styles and modes: understated, sport, and MAYBACH. The content is perfectly coordinated with the selected ambient lighting in the understated style. The rear passengers have access to two 11.6-inch displays at the backrests of the front seats, which offer the same range of infotainment features. The MBUX High-End Rear Seat Entertainment allows for content sharing across displays, and the rear tablet can be used outside the car as well.

6. Rear Comforts: Driving comfort is not only reserved for the front seats, as the rear passengers enjoy the same extensive range of infotainment and comfort features, including two 11.6-inch displays on the backrests of the front seats. The MBUX High-End Rear Seat Entertainment system allows for easy sharing of content on various displays, with the ability to select and modify navigation destinations from the rear seats. The MBUX rear tablet, included as standard equipment, can also be used outside the vehicle. With Executive seats that come with massage functions and heating, the space is further enhanced with wooden trims and ambient lighting, offering both aesthetics and comfort.

7. Filtered Interior: The air quality inside the Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV is exceptional, with ENERGIZING AIR CONTROL Plus with HEPA filter (High Efficiency Particulate Air) ensuring that pollutants stay outside. The air quality sensor supports the fresh air recirculation switch, and the air-conditioned circulating air is filtered several times in circulating air mode. The HEPA filter effectively cleans the incoming outside air of fine dust, very small particles, and pollen. A special activated carbon in both the HEPA filter and the cabin filter also filters sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides as well as odors. The pre-air conditioning makes it possible to clean the interior air before boarding, and the particulate matter values outside and inside the vehicle are displayed in MBUX.

8. Efficient Powertrain: Under the hood, the SUV is equipped with two permanently excited synchronous motors, producing an output of 649 hp and a torque of 700 lb-ft. Charging solutions are also optimized; a fast-charging session of 31 minutes can deliver a range of up to 600 km.

9. Advanced Comfort: One of the key features of the Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV is its next-level noise and vibration comfort. The superb encapsulation of the electric drive train at the front and rear, the innovative support frame on the front axle, and the drive units that are doubly decoupled via rubber mounts make the SUV particularly quiet. Additionally, special acoustic foams in selected body shell profiles and ramps in the underbody paneling help to reduce the noise of grit being thrown up in the wheel arches. All measures combined allow for maximum noise comfort in the rear of the SUV— the best prerequisite for pure enjoyment of music or simply relaxing silence.

10. Tailored Experience: The suspension system of the Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV is an industry-leading example of the latest technology. The AIRMATIC Air Suspension with continuously adjustable damping ADS+ is standard. To increase the ground clearance, the vehicle level can be raised by up to 1.4 inches. In addition to the DYNAMIC SELECT driving program ECO, SPORT, OFFROAD, and INDIVIDUAL, the Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV has the special MAYBACH drive program. It replaces the classic COMFORT program and is designed entirely for maximum driving comfort for the rear passengers. It ensures that there are only minimal body movements under the rear seats thanks to the oscillation node located there.

With its arrival at Canadian dealerships slated for the fourth quarter of 2023, the Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV promises to bring a blend of luxury and electromobility features to the discerning customer.
