Wonder no more whether Mercedes was serious about their EV game. The advent of the Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 should cement things nicely as the brand takes the EQS SUV into ultra-luxe territory. Mercedes-Maybach’s first EV gets a 649-hp electric powertrain that drives all four wheels and takes the vehicle to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds and a top speed of 130 mph. Range is 372 miles on the European WLPT cycle. It can even charge from 10 to 80 percent on a Level 3 charger in 31 minutes. The exterior gets a fancier front fascia that incorporates the opulent Maybach grille, gloss black fender trim, 21″ wheels, and two-tone paint choices that includes pinstriping applied by hand. The cabin, of course, will be properly Maybachian with optional Manufaktur Exclusive Nappa leather, real wood trim, executive seating with massage, shoulder heat, and even an optional calf massaging feature. Expect a starting price of at least $200,000.
