The birth of each generation of Mercedes-Benz S-Class is the pinnacle of the brand and even the market, but the new generation of S-Class seems to be still controversial to this day. Recently, Mercedes-Benz brought a new work in the era of electrification, Mercedes-Benz EQS models were officially launched, the new car price was 107.96 ~ 151.86 million yuan, the whole series launched a total of 4 models equipped with two kinds of power. In addition, the new car is also the first D-class flagship model in the luxury market to use pure electric power, and will be officially launched in early 2022.
Unlike the electric models we see Mercedes-Benz launching at the moment, the new car is based on a new EVA electric drive platform, which can be said to be a real pure electric vehicle. In terms of appearance, compared with the modest elegance of the S-class, the new car gives us a sense of technological avant-garde, the fully enclosed grille of the "Dark Night Star Array" makes it very recognizable, and the headlights form a strip of lights through the front face after being lit, and the overall sense of science and technology adds a lot.
On the side, the new car adopts the two-color body design of the Maybach model, and does not forget the sense of honor that a D-class car should have, which is also the first time that Mercedes-Benz has put a two-color body into the Mercedes-Benz series. Of course, if you look closely, you'll see that the car has a slip-on design on the rear, which is also quite different from the S-Class. Thanks to the slip-on design, the car has a wind resistance coefficient of 0.20Cd, which is the lowest wind resistance coefficient of the current mass production car, and low wind resistance is particularly important for electric vehicles.
In addition, the car is also equipped with a hidden door handle design to enhance the sense of refinement, and the four doors also adopt an electric opening and closing frameless door design, which is rare in D-class cars. In terms of body size, the EQS has a length, width and height of 5216/1926/1512mm and a wheelbase of 3210mm, which is particularly good in the same class.
In terms of the rear, the new car still breaks the design of the conventional D-class car, adopting a hatchback design, which complements the design of the slip-back, coupled with the design of the through-type taillights, the overall rear looks extremely young and individualistic.
In terms of interior, the new car is different from the design of other models of the current brand, using Hyperscreen super screen using curved screen OLED technology, three screens completely replaced the physical buttons, the overall is absolutely extremely innovative, but I think it still takes a little time to accept the design of Mercedes-Benz. Among the three screens, the 17.7-inch central control screen, the 12.3-inch full LCD instrument, and the 12.3-inch co-pilot screen, it is worth mentioning that the central control screen first introduced the zero-layer "zero-level" menu system design, and daily operations do not need to jump to the secondary or tertiary menu.
In terms of power, the new car is equipped with single and dual motors according to the 450+ and 580 respectively, the maximum power is 333 horsepower and 524 horsepower, the WLTP mileage is 780km, and the battery pack provides a 10-year or 250,000-kilometer warranty. In addition, the new car is equipped with air suspension, adaptive damping system, rear wheel steering and L2 level driver assistance system and other technological features, providing users with a better experience in daily driving.
It is worth noting that mercedes-AMG EQS 53 4MATIC+ has also officially rolled off the production line at the German factory recently, which is equipped with the AMG DYNAMIC PLUS appearance kit and provides a powertrain with a maximum power of 560kW, which takes only 3.4 seconds from 0-100km/h. In addition, the spy photos of the car tested in China have been exposed, and it is expected to introduce domestic sales, if the user who pursues the power may wish to wait a little.
The editor said: As the benchmark of the electrified EQ family, the arrival of the new car will definitely raise the image of the EQ series a lot, and many of them are unique to the same level, which can be said to continue the tradition that Mercedes-Benz S is a benchmark as soon as it appears. Compared with Mercedes-Benz S, the new car may not have an advantage in price, but what can give you is a different car experience, making enough return rate on the street at the same time not afraid of being mistaken for a driver, and this is also the field that the other two opponents have not touched, do you think it costs 100,000 yuan more to rush this experience?
