In advance of announcing a pricing, Mercedes-Benz launched pre-orders for the Mercedes-Benz EQS 580 4Matic, which will be released on September 30, 2022, in India. The pre-order fee is a symbolic figure of Rs. 25 lakh. At the company’s Chakan factory in Pune, Maharashtra, this will be the first electric automobile to ever be domestically produced. The new Mercedes-Benz EQS 580 4MATIC will be the base model in the EQS lineup, which also includes the expensive but high-performance Mercedes-AMG EQS 53 4MATIC+ (ex-showroom).
“It is a significant milestone in our ‘Make in India’ journey underscoring our manufacturing successes,” stated Martin Schwenk, MD & CEO, Mercedes-Benz India. We are starting to accept reservations for our flagship EV today as well. Priority will be given to delivery of the car to our current customers.
