The luxurious Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV has received its EPA range and energy consumption rating, which reveals that it's not that much different from the regular EQS SUV.
The 2024 Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 4Matic SUV with standard 21-inch wheels has an EPA Combined range of 280 miles, only five miles or 1.8% less than the regular, all-wheel- drive EQS 580 4Matic SUV.
That's a positive outcome, considering that usually, higher power output and/or the increased weight of better-equipped versions translate into a noticeably lower range.
The top-of-the-line Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV has a dual-motor powertrain with a peak output of 484 kilowatts (vs. 385 kW in the regular EQS 580 4Matic SUV), while the battery pack appears to be the same 108.4-kilowatt-hour unit.
