Verdict
The Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV 580 4Matic impresses with its luxurious features, powerful performance, and long driving range. Its sleek design and cutting-edge technology, like the Hyperscreen and AR navigation, position it as a premium electric SUV. However, its high price might limit its appeal to a niche market of eco-conscious luxury buyers in India.
