Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV

Executives who want the quietest, most technologically advanced SUV on the market. Families who need the option of a third row (7 seats) in a high-end EV.     Drivers who prioritize ride quality and "pillowy" air suspension over sporty handling. People who prefer a traditional, button-heavy dashboard (the screen-heavy interior is polarising). Those looking for a "rugged" off-roader; while it has an Off-Road mode, it's designed for gravel, not heavy dunes. Buyers on a strict budget—the starting price remains north of AED 600,000

The EQS SUV is the electric counterpart to the GLS-Class, built on a dedicated EV architecture. In the UAE, it is the primary choice for those who want the prestige of an S-Class but in a versatile SUV body. For 2026, the model range is simplified and the MBUX Hyperscreen is now standard on more trims, further pushing the "spaceship" aesthetic of the cabin.

EQS 450+: Rear-wheel drive with 360 hp. It’s the range leader, focused on smooth, efficient cruising.     EQS 580 4MATIC: Dual-motor all-wheel drive with 545 hp and 858 Nm of torque. This is the sweet spot for power and prestige. Maybach EQS 680: The ultra-luxury flagship with 658 hp, featuring a dedicated "Maybach" drive mode for maximum passenger comfort. Acceleration: The EQS 580 hits 0–100 km/h in a blistering 4.9 seconds, while the Maybach version trims that down even further.

Battery: A massive 118 kWh (gross) battery pack.     Range: The EQS 450+ offers an estimated 600+ km (WLTP). In the UAE summer, real-world highway driving between Dubai and Abu Dhabi should comfortably net 480–520 km. Charging: Supports 200 kW DC fast charging, allowing you to jump from 10% to 80% in 31 minutes. For 2026, it comes with a native NACS adapter, opening up even more high-speed charging options.

MBUX Hyperscreen: A 56-inch curved glass panel that houses three screens. It is visually stunning and features "Zero Layer" technology so you don't have to dig through menus.     Rear Excellence: For 2026, heated rear seats and redesigned luxury headrests are standard. The "Rear Comfort Package Plus" adds a tablet for controlling the infotainment and climate from the back.     The "Frunk" Factor: Like most Mercedes EVs, there is no frunk (the cabin air filter system is too large). However, the boot offers a generous 645 liters of space.

Rear-Axle Steering: Standard 10-degree rear-wheel steering makes this 5.1-meter SUV feel as nimble as a C-Class in tight city parking or U-turns. HEPA Filtration: The "Energizing Air Control Plus" system uses a massive HEPA filter to keep the desert dust and pollutants out of the cabin.     Sound: A Burmester® 3D Surround Sound system with Dolby Atmos that provides a cinema-like experience.

Warranty: Typically includes a 3-year/unlimited km warranty in the UAE. Battery Certificate: Guaranteed for 10 years or 250,000 km, one of the longest in the industry.     Integrated Service Package (ISP): Local dealers like Gargash offer 5-year/100,000 km maintenance packages that cover all manufacturer-recommended checks.
