The Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 SUV is the marque’s first fully electric Maybach model, combining the EQS SUV platform with an extensively upgraded four-seat First Class rear cabin and Maybach-specific chassis tuning.

Its dual-motor 4MATIC drivetrain produces 484 KW (649 HP) and 950 NM, while a 118 KWH usable battery provides between 560 KM and 608 KM WLTP range.

In Malaysia, the Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 SUV is priced from RM1,088,888 on-the-road without insurance.

The dashboard is dominated by the MBUX Hyperscreen, which places three displays beneath a single curved glass surface extending almost across the entire width of the cabin.

Maybach-specific graphics and start-up animations differentiate the interface from regular EQS models, while ambient lighting runs throughout the dashboard and doors.

A wide front centre console integrates storage, touch-sensitive controls and connectivity functions.

With the Malaysian First Class Rear specification, a second centre console extends between the two individual rear seats, effectively creating four distinct seating positions.

The MBUX Hyperscreen incorporates a 12.3-INCH digital driver display directly ahead of the driver.

It presents driving, navigation, energy consumption, battery and assistance-system information with Maybach-specific display themes.

The cabin is upholstered in Maybach Exclusive Nappa leather, with alternative MANUFAKTUR upholstery combinations available.

Rear occupants receive individual executive seats with extensive powered adjustment and relaxation functions, creating a lounge-like seating position intended primarily for chauffeur-driven use.

The 3,210 MM wheelbase provides an exceptionally spacious passenger compartment, with particular emphasis placed on second-row occupants.

The Malaysian First Class Rear configuration replaces the conventional rear bench with two individual executive seats separated by a full-length centre console.

A multifunction steering wheel provides access to the instrument display, infotainment, driver-assistance and cruise-control functions.

Touch-sensitive controls allow key functions to be operated without removing the driver’s hands from the wheel.

Storage is provided through the front centre console, door compartments and rear First Class centre console.

The extended rear console also incorporates dedicated spaces for personal items and the removable MBUX rear tablet.

The First Class Rear specification includes temperature-controlled cup holders within the rear centre console.

Depending on configuration, the console can additionally house a refrigerator for bottles and dedicated champagne flute holders.

Rear passengers receive four fast-charging USB-C ports and two HDMI connections as part of the First Class Rear setup.

Additional charging and connectivity provisions are provided for front occupants, together with wireless smartphone charging.

The cabin combines Maybach Exclusive Nappa leather with MANUFAKTUR open-pore walnut wood and extensive metallic detailing.

Available finishes include open-pore birch wood and MANUFAKTUR piano lacquer, while active ambient lighting and meticulous trim finishing reinforce its ultra-luxury positioning.

Rear luggage capacity stands at approximately 440 L.

The fixed First Class rear-seat arrangement prioritises passenger comfort over maximum cargo flexibility, with the rear seats not intended to provide the folding versatility of the regular EQS SUV.

The Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 SUV measures 5,125 MM long, 2,034 MM wide and 1,721 MM tall, with a wheelbase spanning 3,210 MM.

Width including the exterior mirrors stands at 2,157 MM, while kerb weight is approximately 3,075 KG.

Up front, the EQS 680 receives a Maybach-specific Black Panel fascia with vertically arranged chrome trim strips that visually recreate the appearance of a traditional Maybach radiator grille.

A full-width light strip links the DIGITAL LIGHT headlamps, while extensive chrome detailing and Mercedes-Maybach branding distinguish it from the regular EQS SUV.

The rear retains the smooth and rounded silhouette of the EQS SUV while adding Maybach-specific chrome detailing around the tailgate, rear apron and spoiler area.

A full-width animated lighting treatment further emphasises the SUV’s broad stance.

DIGITAL LIGHT headlamps are equipped as standard.

The high-definition lighting system continuously adapts its illumination according to road, traffic and weather conditions, while animated welcome and farewell sequences reinforce the Maybach presentation.

The rear features full-width LED tail lamps with an animated lighting sequence.

Their three-dimensional internal graphics complement the continuous lighting treatment used at the front of the vehicle.

Electrically adjustable, folding and heated exterior mirrors are integrated into the aerodynamic body design.

The mirrors work together with the vehicle’s surround-view and Blind Spot Assist systems to improve outward awareness.

Large disc brakes provide conventional stopping power, supported by the electric drivetrain’s regenerative braking system.

Several recuperation levels allow kinetic energy to be returned to the high-voltage battery during deceleration.

The Malaysian Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 SUV rides on 21-INCH Maybach forged alloy wheels.

Their large, highly polished design complements the extensive chrome exterior treatment, while 22-INCH Maybach wheel designs are available depending on configuration.

Active safety equipment includes Anti-lock Braking System, Electronic Stability Program, traction management and regenerative braking.

A comprehensive sensor and camera network additionally supports collision avoidance, parking assistance and vehicle-stability functions.

Occupant protection includes multiple airbags, three-point seatbelts, ISOFIX mounting points and a highly rigid passenger structure.

Mercedes-Benz PRE-SAFE technologies can prepare the cabin and occupant-restraint systems when an impending collision is detected.

DYNAMIC SELECT provides Maybach, Eco, Sport, Offroad and Individual driving programmes.

Maybach mode replaces the conventional Comfort setting and specifically minimises body movement around the rear seating area to maximise passenger comfort.

The MBUX Hyperscreen combines a 12.3-INCH driver display, 17.7-INCH central OLED touchscreen and 12.3-INCH front passenger display.

Rear occupants receive two 11.6-INCH displays mounted to the front seatbacks, together with a removable MBUX rear tablet.

Rear passengers can control entertainment functions and even modify the vehicle’s navigation destination from their seats.

The EQS 680 features an extensive Mercedes-Benz driver-assistance suite including Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC, Active Steering Assist, Active Lane Keeping Assist and Blind Spot Assist.

Also provided are traffic-sign assistance, emergency braking functions and comprehensive parking assistance supported by a 360-degree camera system.

A 15-speaker Burmester 4D surround sound system provides the main audio experience.

It incorporates Dolby Atmos and additional seat-integrated resonators, while the Maybach-specific Aerial Grace driving sound responds dynamically to acceleration, speed and energy recuperation.

Being fully electric, the EQS 680 uses two electric motors instead of a combustion engine.

The dual-motor system produces a combined 484 KW (649 HP) and 950 NM, giving the large luxury SUV substantial reserves of performance.

Both electric motors operate through single-speed reduction transmissions.

Power delivery is therefore immediate and uninterrupted without conventional multi-speed gear changes.

The EQS 680 uses a dual-motor 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system.

Electric motors at the front and rear axles continuously vary torque distribution according to traction, performance and efficiency requirements.

The Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 accelerates from 0-100 KM/H in 4.4 seconds.

Maximum speed is electronically limited to 210 KM/H.

As a fully electric vehicle, the EQS 680 consumes no petrol or diesel.

Its 118 KWH usable lithium-ion battery provides an official driving range of between 560 KM and 608 KM WLTP, with energy consumption rated at approximately 21.7 to 23.7 KWH/100 KM.

AC charging is supported at up to 22 KW, allowing a 0-100% charge in approximately 6 hours 15 minutes.

Maximum DC charging stands at 200 KW, with a 10-80% recharge requiring approximately 31 minutes.

The EQS 680 provides electrically operated doors, KEYLESS-GO, extensive powered seat adjustment, wireless smartphone charging and comprehensive MBUX connected services.

Rear occupants additionally receive folding tables, the removable MBUX tablet and temperature-controlled cup holders, while an optional refrigerator further enhances the chauffeur-oriented First Class Rear environment.

Dedicated rear climate-control outlets are integrated into the Maybach’s multi-zone climate system.

Rear passengers can independently manage their cabin environment, while the HEPA filtration system can clean incoming air before occupants enter the vehicle.

AIRMATIC air suspension with continuously adjustable damping is standard.

The suspension can raise the vehicle by an additional 25 MM where required, while rear-axle steering allows the rear wheels to turn by up to 10 degrees, reducing the large SUV’s turning circle by almost two metres.

Maybach mode further tunes the suspension to minimise vertical movement around the rear seats.

Extensive acoustic insulation separates passengers from tyre, wind and drivetrain noise.

The electric powertrain eliminates conventional combustion-engine vibration, while additional insulation around the rear passenger compartment creates the cocoon-like environment expected of a Maybach.

The Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 SUV takes the technological foundation of Mercedes-Benz’s flagship electric SUV and shifts its priorities decisively towards rear-seat luxury.

Its 649 HP and 950 NM dual-motor drivetrain still delivers 0-100 KM/H in just 4.4 seconds, while the 118 KWH battery provides up to 608 KM WLTP range and 200 KW DC charging.

More importantly, its First Class Rear configuration, executive seats, MBUX rear entertainment, Burmester 4D audio and specially tuned AIRMATIC suspension create one of the most passenger-focused electric SUVs available in Malaysia.

At RM1,088,888, it is an exceptionally expensive EV, but its positioning is closer to an electrically powered chauffeur-driven Maybach limousine than a conventional premium SUV.
