Luxury carmaker Mercedes-Benz on Monday expanded its battery electric vehicle range in India by introducing the locally manufactured EQS 580 model. This is the first time that the seven-seater electric SUV model has been produced in India outside the US. The EQS 580 4Matic model is the second vehicle after the company’s EQS sedan to be locally manufactured at Mercedes’ Pune plant. This electric SUV gets a 122 kWh battery pack. The company claims that it will cover a distance of 809 km on a single charge. 

Showroom price: Rs 1.41 crore 

Santosh Iyer, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), of Mercedes-Benz India, said that this will be our sixth EV in India and the second car to be locally manufactured in India. We are also proud that India has become the first market outside the US to locally manufacture the EQS. Iyer said that local production has helped in keeping the price of this electric SUV low. The showroom price of the EQS SUV 580 4Matic starts at Rs 1.41 crore. The car manufacturer introduced the EQS sedan in India about 18 months ago, of which it has sold more than 500 units so far.
