Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV to come with 4Matic AWD and Off-Road mode – 7-seat EV SUV debuts April 19

Mercedes-Benz has issued a reminder that the new EQS SUV will make its debut on April 19, and we even get a new teaser graphic to go alongside with the announcement. The EQS SUV will be the 3rd model in the EQ loved ones that is crafted on the carmaker’s committed electrical platform called EVA (Electric Auto Architecture), which is now applied by the EQS and EQE.

The new shadowy teaser graphic of the SUV sans camouflage doesn’t expose a entire great deal, but we can place taillights that have a comparable lights layout to the existing EQ versions. The headlamps do surface a little distinct with their dashed lines, accompanying a entire-width gentle bar at the front.

Brightening the picture, we also see what appears to be retractable doorway handles and just like the EQS, the panel on the left entrance fender is probable for the car to acknowledge windshield washer fluid. The silhouette also appears extra common, as the front windscreen is not introduced fairly as significantly forwards as on the EQS and EQE sedans.

A less rakish roof line lets for extra inside place far too, which is a little something the Mercedes-Benz has currently revealed us beforehand. Unsurprisingly, the EQS SUV shares several of the very same functions as other EQ products, including a 56-inch curved Hyperscreen exhibit panel designed up of triple screens, turbine-design and style and slim air vents, and wood trim with the a few-pointed star graphic that reminds travellers they are in a Mercedes-Benz.

The EQS SUV will occur with a few rows of seats for up to seven passengers, but it isn’t recognized if buyers will be in a position to choose a various configuration that ditches the third row in favour of much more cargo place. A much more lavish Maybach model will also be obtainable – previewed by the Concept Mercedes-Maybach EQS – but that will only enter generation later on in 2022 just after the EQS SUV.

As for the powertrain, the carmaker states the approaching EQ model will arrive with 4Matic all-wheel push, confirming a dual-motor setup. The EQS 580 4Matic sedan has this sort of a setup that pushes out 523 PS (516 hp or 385 kW) and 855 Nm of torque, but its SUV sibling will also come with an Off-Road driving programme to match its high-using character.
