KUALA LUMPUR. Mercedes-Benz Malaysia today announces availability of a new all-electric luxury SUV variant, the all-new Mercedes-Benz EQS 580 4MATIC SUV. The EQS SUV raises the bar for an electric SUV, with cutting edge features and timeless elegance.

20 October 2023

The all-new EQS SUV offers plenty of space, comfort, and connectivity for up to seven vehicle occupants in its avant-garde, luxurious interior.

Thanks to powerful electric motors, responsive 4MATIC all-wheel drive and an intelligent OFFROAD driving mode, this model is also capable of tackling light terrain with ease.

The all-new EQS SUV is the first EQ model from Mercedes-Benz Malaysia equipped with a 22 kW AC onboard charger.

The Mercedes-Benz EQS 580 4MATIC SUV is now available as a single variant at RM 699,888 with 10% Sales Tax (for Peninsular Malaysia).
 

Amanda Zhang, CEO & President, Mercedes-Benz Malaysia said, “The EQS SUV is the latest addition to Mercedes-Benz Malaysia's luxury all-electric EQ portfolio, as the pinnacle among the eight model variants spanning across all vehicle segments.

Bettina Plangger, Vice President of Sales & Marketing, Mercedes-Benz Cars Malaysia & SEA II said, "The EQS SUV redefines luxury in the era of all-electric vehicles, taking excellence to new heights and providing seating for up to seven passengers. The EQS SUV also features class-leading Dolby Atmos integration with Apple Music, offering customers an unparalleled, immersive Spatial Audio experience. With its striking aesthetics and cutting-edge technology, the EQS SUV is set to redefine luxury and innovation in this pivotal segment. It is a testament to Mercedes-Benz's unwavering pioneering spirit, and we are excited to bring it to our valued customers in Malaysia.”

Exterior: Dynamic proportion, innovative aesthetics, and sensual purity

The EQS SUV is the first all-electric luxury SUV from Mercedes-Benz on the purposely designed electric vehicle platform EVA2. The innovative and holistic design is based on a new vehicle architecture. It differs from vehicles with internal combustion engines at first glance: highest demands on function and aerodynamics are combined with innovative aesthetics in the unmistakable purpose design. Sensual Purity is reflected in generously modelled surfaces, reduced joints and seamless transitions (seamless design). Even as a seven-seater, the EQS SUV impresses with its dynamic proportions.

The front features are combined to create a 'Black Panel' unit. Headlamps connected by a light band and the deep black radiator grille with a three-dimensional star pattern (Mercedes-Benz pattern) form the face. Three small triangles form the striking daytime running lights on the EQS SUV. Another special feature is the structured surface of the light modules illuminated from behind: a three-dimensional hexagon pattern in combination with the daytime running lights ensures recognition. DIGITAL LIGHT with light band comes as standard.

In conjunction with AMG Line Exterior, seamless design is particularly evident in the front design with the reduced joint pattern and an overlapping bonnet. Power domes in the front bonnet underline the dynamics of the EQS SUV.

Striking lines

The dynamic silhouette defines the side view of the EQS SUV and demonstrates its aerodynamic efficiency from afar. It begins with the round front end, then flows dynamically over the steeply raked A-pillar and the roof contour to the rear spoiler. This is always black, which reduces the perceived height of the vehicle in profile. The C-pillar is moved far back to communicate the spacious interior. The side window surface is generously framed by a three-dimensional chrome strip. The large wheels in dimensions 22 inches, together with a muscular shoulder section, give the EQS SUV a sporty, robust character. The EQS SUV comes with 22-inch AMG multi-spoke light-alloy wheels aerodynamically optimised, painted in high-gloss black with a high-sheen finish.

The exterior mirrors sit on the vehicle shoulder for aerodynamic and aeroacoustics reasons. The SUV-typical wheel arch claddings are black, as are the side sill panels, which reduces the perceived volume of the vehicle. The EQS SUV is equipped with aluminium-look, illuminated running boards with rubber studs, which also offers aerodynamic advantages and thus has a positive effect on the electric range.
Flush door handles and a panoramic sunroof are available as standard. The sunroof consists of two modules that together form a very large glass surface and thus ensure a lot of transparency and light in the interior.
