Mercedes-Benz is bringing its EQS SUV to China. The German luxury carmaker made the EQS SUV officially available in China yesterday with a starting price of RMB 910,500.

The vehicle is an all-electric large SUV based on Mercedes' EVA platform and is its first SUV based on the platform. The Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV measures 5,137 mm in length, 1,965 mm in width and 1,721 mm in height, and has a wheelbase of 3,210 mm. The vehicle is currently offered in three versions, two of which start at RMB 910,500 and the other at RMB 1,100,500.

The lower-priced two models are offered in single- and dual-motor versions with peak torques of 568 Nm and 800 Nm, respectively, although they both have a peak power of 265 kW. These two versions take 6.9 seconds and 6.2 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h, respectively.

The higher-priced version of the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV also has a peak motor power of 265 kW and a peak torque of 800 Nm, and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.2 seconds.

Chinese consumers can currently only buy the imported version of the model. However, according to a report yesterday by local automotive media Auto Home, Mercedes-Benz said that the EQE SUV will soon be produced in China.

The Maybach EQS SUV will also make its global debut at the Shanghai auto show in April.

The EQS SUV is the latest offering from Mercedes-Benz in China, where the automaker has previously released a number of pure electric models, but sales have been lukewarm.

All three versions are equipped with a battery pack with a capacity of 111.8 kWh, which supports a maximum charging power of 145 kW and can be charged from 10 percent to 80 percent in 37 minutes. The CLTC ranges for these three models are 742 km, 673 km and 670 km respectively.
