Autocar India, in partnership with Mercedes-Benz India, has achieved a remarkable feat by setting a new Guinness World Records™ title for the Greatest Temperature Change Ever Recorded by an Electric Production Car.
The achievement was made possible with the Mercedes-Benz EQS 450 4MATIC SUV, which traversed an extraordinary temperature shift of 51.2°C — beginning in the scorching 48°C heat of Rajasthan and culminating at -3.2°C in Khardung La, Ladakh, one of the highest motorable passes in the world.
This historic drive highlights the technological resilience and performance capabilities of luxury electric vehicles, reinforcing their readiness for India’s diverse and demanding terrains. It also sends a strong message about the future of sustainable luxury mobility in the country.
