Mercedes-Benz currently has some of the most advanced electric vehicles on the market. The EQ family continues to grow and currently spans from entry-level EV crossovers to luxury sedans and SUVs. There are no signs of this expansion slowing down and it looks like the automaker is working on its first Maybach-branded electric vehicle.
Our spy photographers sent us a batch of spy photos with a zero-emission large utility vehicle and told us it was a prototype of the Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV. The model was previewed with a near-production concept last year at the 2021 Munich Auto Show and the Stuttgart-based automaker is currently working to bring this vehicle to market. Of course, a lot will change in terms of design, although we expect the final production model to look very similarly stylish.

Honestly, there’s not much of the Maybach style to see in these photos because the prototype is still heavily camouflaged. However, we can already see the clean overall design language, obviously heavily influenced by the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV. Looking closer, you can also see the rear steering system in action as the rear wheels turn opposite to the front wheels for a smaller turning radius.
It’s too early for technical specs to be available, although Mercedes has already promised the Maybach EQS SUV will have a projected range between charges of around 373 miles (600 kilometers). Rumor has it that the most luxurious EV in the German company’s lineup will have a dual-motor powertrain likely with the same output as the EQS 580 4Matic SUV. If true, output will be around 536 horsepower (400 kilowatts) and 633 pound-feet (858 Newton-meters) of torque.
One of the strengths of the Maybach EQS SUV Concept was its interior. It had three screens under a single glass cover that stretched from edge to edge. It’s a very similar layout to the production Mercedes EQS SUV and we expect the massive screen to find its way inside the cabin of the swanky Maybach version as well.
