The 450 can accommodate five people, and although the front half of the cabin is identical, there is a sizable boot behind the back bench seats. The 56-inch Hyperscreen configuration, consisting of a 17.7-inch touchscreen entertainment system, a 12.3-inch instrument cluster, and a front passenger screen, is part of the features list both versions share.

Mercedes EQS 450: Range and Performance
While the Mercedes EQS 450 SUV 4Matic shares the 122kWh battery pack with the 580, its motors have a lesser combined output of 360hp and 800Nm, compared to 544hp and 858Nm in the 7-seater. The MIDC range of the EQS 450 SUV is 820km, which is only 11 km longer than the 580. Mercedes claims a 0-100kph time of 6.1 seconds. Therefore, the 5-seater is 1.4 seconds slower than the 7-seater EQS SUV. The German firm also claims similar charging times: 31 minutes for a 10-80 percent charge using a 200kW DC fast charger and 6.25 hours for a 0-100 percent charge using a 22kW AC wall box charger.
Mercedes says bookings for the entry-level EQS SUV have begun, and deliveries will start in February.
