Mercedes EQS 580 electric sedan receives over 300 bookings

Deliveries of the EQS 580 will begin early next year.

Mercedes-Benz launched its all-electric EQS 580 luxury sedan in India last month. The carmaker has now announced that it has received over 300 bookings for the EV.

The EQS 580 is assembled locally at Mercedes’ Chakan plant. Priced at Rs 1.55 crore (ex-showroom), it is considerably cheaper than the AMG version which was launched earlier.

The EQS 580 uses two electric motors – one on each axle. They have a combined output of 516 BHP and 855 Nm and are powered by a 107.8 kWh battery pack. Mercedes claims a 0-100 km/h time of 4.3 seconds with a top speed of 210 km/h and a maximum range of 857 km.

Deliveries of the EQS 580 will begin early next year.
