It shares its platform with the standard EQS SUV, but this Maybach version pairs 649 hp and 300 miles of range with a cabin that feels closer to a first-class aircraft than a road car. Dual electric motors, standard 4Matic all-wheel drive, and AirMatic air suspension deliver strong performance in near silence. This SUV suits buyers who prioritize comfort, craftsmanship, and prestige in a zero-emissions package.2024-2026 Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 SUVMercedes-BenzWhat's New for 2026?The 2026 EQS 680 SUV continues as the flagship model. Updates include a standard NACS DC fast-charging adapter, which opens access to more than 20,000 Tesla Supercharger stations. Mercedes adds new Manufaktur Exclusive paint finishes, including heritage-inspired two-tone combinations, along with a new Maybach Night Series Exterior Design Package featuring unique colors and darker trim elements.AdvertisementAdvertisementA new 22-inch forged wheel design joins the lineup, along with an additional paint option called Patagonia Red Metallic. The $7,750 extended leather package now pairs with all interior color themes. There are two new Sound Experiences, called Granular Fuzz and Fractal Fusion.ExteriorThe EQS 680 SUV stands apart with a signature black-panel grille that features the Maybach vertical-bar pattern, illuminated running boards, and distinct badging. Two-tone paint options span multiple combinations, while the optional Night Series package introduces dark-chrome accents, rose-gold details, and unique 21-inch wheels with a Maybach-style mesh design. Newly introduced 22-inch Maybach monoblock wheels further strengthen its presence. At 201.8 inches long with a 126.4-inch wheelbase, this SUV has a fairly large footprint, but still falls within the midsize class category.2024-2026 Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 SUVMercedes-BenzView the 3 images of this gallery on the original articleInteriorThe cabin of the Maybach EQS 680 SUV focuses heavily on material quality and passenger comfort. Vegetable-tanned Nappa leather, natural wood trim, and 64-color ambient lighting with Maybach-specific rose-gold and amethyst tones create a layered cabin environment, managed through 253 individual LEDs. The MBUX Hyperscreen stretches across the dashboard, combining a 12.3-inch instrument cluster, a 17.7-inch OLED central display, and a 12.3-inch OLED passenger screen. Rear occupants benefit from heated, ventilated, and massaging seats, while the Executive Rear Seat Package Plus adds folding tables, temperature-controlled cupholders, and a refrigerator designed for champagne storage.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe interior also emphasizes acoustic comfort and air quality. Advanced sound insulation reduces road and wind noise to a minimum, while an integrated air purification system helps maintain a clean interior environment. Rear-seat passengers benefit further from dedicated climate controls and a high level of isolation, which reinforces the sense of separation from the outside world. The overall layout prioritizes ease of use, with most key functions accessible through the central display without overwhelming the user.2024-2026 Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 SUV interiorMercedes-BenzView the 3 images of this gallery on the original articlePrice Range and Best Value TrimThe 2026 Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 SUV's price starts at $180,000, offered as a single trim.

Few vehicles match the experience of sitting in the rear seats, surrounded by filtered air, soft lighting, and constant seat massage. The 649-hp dual-motor system delivers more than enough power, while AIRMATIC suspension and 10-degree rear-axle steering help this 6,658-pound SUV feel manageable in tighter settings.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe high price invites closer evaluation. The 300-mile range and 200 kW charging rate fall short of newer competitors such as the Lucid Gravity and Porsche Cayenne Electric. The exterior design, while elegant, does not push boundaries in the way some buyers might expect at this level.For buyers who place comfort and refinement above everything else, the EQS 680 SUV delivers a very specific experience. It functions as a quiet, highly controlled environment on wheels, and for the audience it targets, that remains its strongest argument.2024-2026 Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 SUVMercedes-BenzCompetitors:Mercedes-Benz G580eLucid GravityBentley BentaygaRolls-Royce CullinanThis story was originally published by Autoblog on Jul 20, 2026, where it first appeared in the Cars section.
