Mercedes recently announced plans for an assortment of new electric vehicles including crossover variants of the upcoming EQE and EQS. Fast forward to today and spy photographers have apparently snapped photos of the EQS SUV. Dressed in heavy camouflage, the model has a fully enclosed grille which is flanked by sweptback headlights. Additional details are hard to make out, but the model has a small air intake and a rakish windscreen that flows into a gently sloping roof.
We can also see a rounded shoulder line,
flush-mounted door handles and what appears to be a charging port on the front
fender. Other notable features include a relatively small greenhouse and an
angular rear window. The model also has a prominent rear spoiler and what appears
to be faux exhaust cut outs.
Moving into the cabin, we can see a
free-standing digital instrument cluster and an infotainment system that rises
out of the center console like on the redesigned S-Class. There are also
turbine-style air vents, metallic trim and a familiar steering wheel. While
Mercedes recently teased the crossover, the company didn’t say much about it.
However, it will be based on the company’s new electric vehicle platform and
could have a range of up to 700 km.
Performance specifications remain a
mystery, but the standard EQS is rumored to have outputs ranging from
approximately 395 hp to more than 592 hp.
Those specs will likely carryover to the EQS SUV, but we’ll likely get a better
idea of what to expect when the EQS is introduced next year.
