EQS SUV in 2026 — what's new

The latest EQS SUV activity in Malaysia has been the Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV and Night Series in 2025, not a mechanical or range update for the regular Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV.

Verdict
This is a big-ticket seven-seat electric Mercedes SUV, and it is priced that way. The EQS450 makes the stronger case on numbers because it costs less yet has the larger battery and longer quoted range. The EQS580 is for buyers who put 536 hp above range. It is also clearly dearer than electric SUV alternatives such as the Lotus Eletre, Jaguar I-Pace and Hyundai Ioniq 5 N.
