Mercedes-Benz EQS models set to energize Oman’s electric vehicle market

Muscat, Oman — Mercedes-Benz has brought its all-electric EQS Sedan and EQS SUV to Oman, marking a significant milestone for the nation's electric vehicle (EV) adoption efforts. These luxury EVs are not only part of Mercedes-Benz’s strategy to push sustainable mobility, but they also set new standards for technology, performance, and comfort in the growing EV segment. As Oman looks to diversify its energy consumption and promote green transportation, the arrival of these premium electric vehicles could significantly accelerate local adoption of EVs.

The EQS models, with their state-of-the-art features, have been praised for blending luxury with sustainability. The EQS Sedan and SUV are built on the Mercedes Electric Vehicle Architecture (EVA), designed specifically for their electric models. They feature a long range—over 700 kilometers on a full charge for the sedan, according to WLTP tests—making them practical for Oman’s expansive road networks.

Both models boast cutting-edge technology. The EQS Sedan, often dubbed the "S-Class of electric cars," has a streamlined design for optimal aerodynamics, allowing for enhanced efficiency and longer driving ranges. The EQS SUV, on the other hand, adds a more robust build, ideal for handling a variety of terrains, which is particularly relevant given Oman's diverse landscapes. The EQS SUV is equipped with all-wheel drive (4MATIC) and advanced air suspension systems, enhancing both performance and comfort.

These new vehicles come equipped with Mercedes-Benz’s Hyperscreen system, a large curved OLED screen that stretches across the dashboard, offering seamless interaction between the driver and the vehicle's infotainment and controls. This intuitive system integrates artificial intelligence (AI) to personalize driving experiences based on individual preferences. The luxury features extend beyond tech, with leather seating, heated and ventilated seats, and an ambient lighting system that adds to the premium feel.

Safety remains a high priority for Mercedes-Benz, and both the EQS Sedan and SUV come with a suite of advanced safety features. The EQS SUV includes 11 airbags, anti-lock brakes, traction control, and electronic stability control. Adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and blind-spot monitoring are also standard, ensuring both models provide top-tier protection for drivers and passengers alike. The EQS lineup is expected to appeal to luxury car buyers looking to reduce their carbon footprint without compromising on comfort or performance.
