It’s been interesting to see the ongoing tug-of-war between rivals BMW India and Mercedes-Benz India. While Mercedes-Benz is the clear leader in the overall luxury passenger car space, the two are constantly outpacing each other to claim the luxury EV space.

The EQS SUV, priced at Rs 1.41 crore, is the second electric vehicle to be assembled in India following its sedan counterpart.

The EQS SUV from Mercedes-Benz will be locally assembled in India, the first country outside of the US to do so. But does it match up to the high expectations of a discerning clientele?

Mercedes-Benz has begun assembling the EQS SUV at its plant in Chakan, a town near Pune (Maharashtra) in the western part of India. It is the only factory apart from the mother plant in Tuscaloosa (Alabama),

Mercedes-Benz does EVs differently and they are based on a separate EV platform which means the EQS and the GLS are completely different

The Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV is probably the most decadent EV you can buy right now. It has a fantastic range and marvellous comfort, but comes at a price

The auto industry loves surprises, and Mercedes-Benz just delivered a big one. Barely a month after launching the Maybach EQS SUV – a model many assumed would be their last foray into the ultra-high-end EV market – Mercedes dropped another bombshell with the EQS SUV 580 4Matic.

What if one wants the luxury of a sedan and the practicality of an SUV and go green all the way? Mercedes-Benz probably has the answer to that.
