EQS 580 SUV is being discontinued?
I'm looking to buy an EQS 580 SUV. I spoke with a dealer here in Southern California, and he told me that Mercedes-Benz is no longer building the 580 model—only the EQS 450. He suggested that I could add the "Acceleration Increase" subscription to the 450 to get similar performance.
Has anyone else heard this? Do you have any more information or confirmation on whether the 580 is being discontinued?

My guess is that he's trying to move the 450's he has in stock.

I have not heard anything specifically about the 580, but since last year MB has repeatably slashed production of the S Class and EQS due to slumping demand. I wouldn't be surprised if they ramped down production of the 580 to zero. It's still listed on the German website, which is usually the first indicator if production of a specific model was stopped. Mercedes like all the German car manufacturers has recently experienced huge profit losses, like double digits, and they are going on a major diet trying to deal with it. Even traditionally super profitable Porsche has seen almost 2 billion Euro profit decrease last year. With the chaos Trump is creating they are also stopping certain shipments to the US and are evaluating the elimination of certain models in the US. So the production may not have stopped per se, but the 580 may have been axed in the US market, no point in paying import tariffs if they are then just sitting around in inventory.

Isn't the 580 being produced in the Alabama plant? In any case, the 2026 Order Guide did confirm the swap from 580 to 550 and the 450 now to 400... So I assume these means lower prices, lower performance and lower production as well... the depreciation of these vehicles are astronomical and cannot continue, so MB needs to stop the bleeding and ramp these vehicles down until the market demand turns around.

Looks like production and orders for US Market EQE and EQS products are stopping, while other markets continue.

"Mercedes says it has stopped taking orders for all four EQE and EQS cars and SUVs, and that its Alabama plant, where the SUVs are built will stop producing US-market versions of the vehicles from September 1. It will, however, continue to build them for other markets."

This article is calling it a pause with no clear end date from Mercedes. I suspect this marks the end of the EQ brand as Mercedes is in business to make a profit and since buyers are not buying enough EQ's, they had no choice but to move on. Hopefully their next generation of Electric EV's offer better styling, more room, improved tech, and most important, more competitive pricing.
FYI: we love our EQS 580 SUV and would have purchased a new MY26 EQS 550 SUV next year so if Mercedes doesn't offer a full-size SUV-EV next year, we'll be buying another brand, maybe a new Lucid Gravity. I just love Mercedes quality and customer service and will miss being from them.
