A Cabin Designed for Ultimate Comfort

The interior of the Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 SUV is a testament to the brand’s unwavering commitment to luxury. Passengers are greeted by the standard MBUX Hyperscreen, which incorporates a “zero layer” that allows the driver to perform 80 percent of common interactions without leaving the main application. This system adapts to the situation and provides intelligent, predictive suggestions.

One remarkable feature that sets this vehicle apart is the active scenting system, a part of the standard AIR BALANCE Package. Passengers can enjoy the soothing and luxurious No. 12 MOOD Ebony fragrance specially created for the Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV.

The rear seating area offers a haven of comfort and exclusivity. It features Maybach Exclusive Nappa Leather upholstery made from natural materials, creating a stylish contrast to the high-tech elements in the cabin. The vehicle also takes a holistic approach to sustainability, incorporating vegetable-tanned leather for the first time in a Mercedes-Benz model. In addition, various parts throughout the car are made from resource-saving materials.

For rear passengers, the standard equipment includes Executive seats with ventilation, massage function, and neck and shoulder heating, with an available calf massage as part of the Executive Rear Seat Package Plus. Two 11.6″ MBUX Rear Seat Entertainment displays on the backrest of the front seats and the MBUX rear tablet in the center console ensure passengers are entertained during their journey. The standard Burmester® 4D Surround Sound System, featuring the Dolby Atmos immersive audio experience, further enhances the ambiance.

The front and rear of the vehicle feature innovative noise suppression technologies, allowing passengers to travel in serene silence or fully immerse themselves in their music.

A Welcoming Exterior

The exterior design of the Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV is an elegant blend of tradition and innovation. The iconic Mercedes star takes center stage on the hood, while a large black panel with an extraordinary high-gloss appearance adds depth and innovation. The smooth-closed grille integrates high-tech radar sensors seamlessly, contributing to the vehicle’s futuristic look.

The side view showcases bold chrome surrounds on the windows and chrome-plated B-pillar trim, a hallmark of the Maybach signature that emphasizes the length of the rear seating area. The high-gloss black wheel arch claddings underline the SUV’s power and emotional presence.

For those who desire a distinctive look, the optional two-tone paintwork adds a touch of uniqueness. This artisanal finish is available in five elegant color combinations and is applied by hand with the utmost precision.

The Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV rides on exclusive 21-inch alloy and forged wheels with MAYBACH lettering on the wheel hub caps, exuding luxury and style.

Night Series Package

For those seeking even more distinction, the Night Series package is a premium choice. It incorporates dark chrome elements and surfaces that glisten like precious jewels in the light. Each headlight is adorned with a Maybach emblem in rose gold, while darkened Maybach pinstripes enhance the grille panel.

This package includes exclusive wheels and is available in conjunction with select exterior colors, further elevating the vehicle’s allure.
