Mercedes-Benz introduced the EQS AMG in the country earlier this month, with prices starting at Rs 2.45 crore (ex-showroom). The carmaker is now preparing to launch a locally assembled variant of its second electric offering for India.

Speaking at the launch of the Mercedes-AMG EQS, Martin Schwenk, CEO of Mercedes-Benz India, confirmed that the carmaker will be introducing the locally assembled EQS 580 in September. It will also go on to become the brand’s first model to be assembled at the Chakan factory in Pune.

Coming to the model, Mercedes-Benz EQS 580 will be propelled by a 107.8kWh lithium-ion battery pack paired with two electric motors, producing a combined output of 523bhp and 856Nm of torque. The electric sedan is claimed to return a range of up to 770 km on a single charge. Mercedes-Benz will also introduce the EQB later this year.
