Mercedes-Benz EQS 450 5-seater India launch confirmed on January 9
- The upcoming Mercedes-Benz EQS 450 5-seater will join the EQS 580 already on sale bringing a roomier second row option for customers.
Mercedes-Benz India is gearing up for not one but two launches on January 9, 2024. The luxury auto giant has revealed that it will be introducing the new EQS 450 luxury variant alongside the all-new G 580 next month. The Mercedes-Benz EQS 450 will be locally assembled in the country and India is the first market outside of the US to assemble the EQS SUV.
Mercedes-Benz India launched the EQS SUV in India earlier this year in the 580 guise and also introduced the more luxurious Maybach EQS SUV in the country. The upcoming EQS 450 variant will arrive as a more accessible version and in a five-seater layout. Unlike the EQS 580, which gets a seven-seater configuration, the five-seater option should bring a more comfortable rear seat experience to the occupants by liberating more room in the second row.
