Mercedes EQS 450 battery specs
The 450 will be the second variant in the EQS SUV line-up (excluding the Maybach) and will be available as a 5-seater. It will be powered by the same 122kWh battery pack used in the 7-seater EQS 580 4Matic SUV (544hp, 858Nm). This is by far the country’s largest claimed cell capacity for any passenger EV. The battery can be charged from 10 to 80 percent in 31 minutes using a 200kW DC charger. For reference, the EQA and EQE SUVs are run by 70.5kWh and 90.5kWh batteries, respectively.

This entry-level EQS SUV continues to have a familiar design with a blanked-off grille that extends into the lower section of the front bumper. The LED headlamps are bridged by a light bar running across the nose. Its overall aerodynamic silhouette resembles the EQS 580 but the design of the 21-inch alloy wheel has been refreshed.
