Could this be one of the most luxurious electric vehicles on the market right now? A first exclusive look at the new Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV with Riaan Jacob George

Karl Maybach once famously said, “What’s good has to be beautiful!” And we couldn’t agree more. Maybach drivers are said to be design lovers first before being petrolheads. That said, the Maybach driver is also a different breed of luxury consumer – as understated and subtle as it gets. What happens, then, when Mercedes-Maybach releases its first electric vehicle, marking its entry into the green foray? It makes big news! Easily among the biggest announcements for the December-January period is the brand-new Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV.

We absolutely love the imposing exteriors that feature the signature black panel with chrome strips, refined lines, a defined shoulder, chrome surrounds along the window and an overall high-gloss appearance. All in all, this car features the signature style of a Maybach, recognisable from afar, with the elements of Mercedes-Benz EVs incorporated.
