The German luxury carmaker, Mercedes-Benz is all set to expand its high-end electric vehicle portfolio with the introduction of two new products – Mercedes-Benz G 580 EQ and the EQS 450. While the former has been showcased in India for quite some time now and is expected to be the most expensive Mercedes EV in India, the Mercedes-Benz EQS 450 will be the entry level model to the EQS SUV family. Mercedes had earlier launched the Maybach EQS 680 SUV in India and the Mercedes-Benz EQS 580 earlier this year.
The Mercedes-Benz EQS 450 variant will arrive as a more accessible version and in a five-seater layout. Unlike the EQS 580, which gets a seven-seater configuration, the five-seater option should bring a more comfortable rear seat experience to the occupants by liberating more room in the second row. Here are the key highlights of the upcoming EQS 450.
