Mercedes-Benz AMG EQS

The Mercedes-Benz AMG EQS is the performance flagship of Mercedes-Benz's electric line-up in India, combining AMG-tuned performance with the EQS sedan's luxury. It is powered by a 107.8 kWh battery driving all four wheels, makes 751 bhp and 1020 Nm of torque, and is priced at Rs 2.45 crore (ex-showroom).

Range and charging

The AMG EQS is rated for up to 526 km of range from its 107.8 kWh lithium-ion battery, which is strong for a high-performance electric sedan. It supports DC fast charging and can top up in about 31 minutes on a compatible fast charger, making long highway drives workable with planned stops.

Performance and driving

This is an AMG first, so performance leads: 751 bhp and 1020 Nm go to all four wheels through an AWD drivetrain, with regenerative braking to recover energy under deceleration. Despite the performance focus, it remains a 5-seater luxury sedan with a 610-litre boot, so it does not compromise on everyday usability. Safety is also well specified, with driver, passenger and side front airbags standard.

Who should buy it

The Mercedes-Benz AMG EQS is for buyers who want a flagship electric luxury car with serious performance and no interest in the compromises of a petrol flagship. At Rs 2.45 crore ex-showroom it is aimed at the very top of the Indian EV market, where range, build quality and a prestigious badge matter as much as outright speed. Charging is a practical consideration at this level, so home or office charging access is essential to make the most of the battery.
