Whenever the Mercedes-Benz S-Class is released, it can always lead the trend of an era with forward-looking design, and the new design of Mercedes-Benz and the application of black technology will always be the first to be displayed on the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, and then downgraded to the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and mercedes-Benz C-Class, saying that it is the "wind vane" of luxury cars. Now, with the advent of the era of electric vehicles, Mercedes-Benz officially launched the new EQS on December 17, 2021. There are 4 models of the new car, priced at 107.96-151.86 million yuan, and will be officially listed in early 2022, as an electric version of the "Mercedes-Benz S-Class", this time Mercedes-Benz is equipped with what "black technology"?
Mercedes-Benz EQS is based on the EVA electric drive platform, which is a pure electric vehicle platform, which is much ahead of BMW's "oil to electricity". If the exterior design of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class is mainly stable and elegant, the Mercedes-Benz EQS shows us another temperament, that is, sportiness and youth. If you think about it, most of the consumers who choose high-end electric vehicles are young social elites, and the appearance design of Mercedes-Benz EQS is obviously "in their favor", which can be said to be very accurate. In order to make it more classy, Mercedes-Benz also put the classic two-color body design on the Maybach model for The Mercedes-Benz EQS, the car in maintaining a sense of sport, but also has a very noble feeling, it is clear that Mercedes-Benz put the consumer's psychology to death.
The front face of the new car adopts a closed front grille design, Mercedes-Benz calls the "Dark Night Star Array" grille, from the outside, we can only see countless "three-pronged star" car logos, but it hides cameras, lidar, millimeter-wave radar and other sensors inside. The front grille is also connected to the headlights, and as for the headlights, they are the geometric multi-beam headlights of the Mercedes-Benz, which have 1.3 million micro-lenses inside, which can intelligently adjust the illumination range. The shape of the lower grille and the imported cars on both sides is similar to the Mercedes-Benz AMG series, which enhances the sense of movement of the front face.
The side of the car adopts a "big slipback" design, there is no obvious tail compartment, the rim adopts a dense spoke design, and mercedes-Benz S-class is the same, we can also see that the new car uses a hidden door handle design, improving the sense of technology at the same time, but also reducing the wind resistance coefficient. The advantage of this streamlined design is that the wind resistance is very low, and the drag coefficient of the Mercedes-Benz EQS is only 0.2Cd, which can effectively reduce power consumption. The design of the rear part of the car is very simple, and the through-type taillights are not amazing to look at now, and there are two exhaust decorations on its lower guard plate to further enhance the sporty sense of the rear. In terms of size, the length, width and height of the Mercedes-Benz EQS are 5216 *1926 *1512mm, and the wheelbase is 3210mm, positioning the D-class luxury sedan.
Interior part, now through the air conditioning outlet has been very common, and Mercedes-Benz EQS in addition to the through-type air conditioning outlet, but also equipped with a through-screen screen, the entire center console into the eye screen, not even a physical button, of which, the central control screen size of 17.7 inches, LCD dashboard and co-pilot screen are 12.3 inches, Mercedes-Benz for it equipped with NVIDIA Xavier 8-core CPU AI chip, memory is 24GB, the configuration can already be in line with high-end laptops, therefore, This car machine system runs very smoothly, the resolution of the screen is also very high, Mercedes-Benz also introduced zero-layer "zero level" menu system, there is no secondary menu, the operation is very simple, it is easy to get started.
In terms of configuration, the 15-speaker Berlin Sound sound, the 190-led lamp bead interior atmosphere system, the ANC active noise reduction function, the aviation headrest, seat ventilation/heating/massage, etc., are not many, and the configuration of the Mercedes-Benz EQS is in line with the Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
The Mercedes-Benz EQS is also equipped with frameless doors, which should be able to win the favor of young people, and it is still a hatchback. The trunk lift cover rises together with the tail window, and the trunk opens at a larger angle and is more practical.
In terms of power, the EQS 450+ is equipped with a single motor with a maximum power of 333 horsepower, and the cruising range under CLTC conditions is 849km; the EQS 580 4MATIC is equipped with a dual motor with a comprehensive power of 517 hp, with a maximum torque of 855 Nm, which breaks 100 in 4.4 seconds, and a cruising range of 720 km under CLTC conditions, and it is equipped with an electric four-wheel drive system and a four-wheel steering system.
The legroom of the rear seat is very spacious, after all, the body size is there, but its rear floor is very high, and the posture of the legs is not very calm.
According to the price of Mercedes-Benz EQS, Porsche Taycan and Tesla Model S will be its direct competitors, but I am still not optimistic about the market prospects of Mercedes-Benz EQS, the reason is very simple, Porsche Taycan and Tesla Model S have been doing high-end electric vehicles for many years, the sales of these two cars have been lackluster, as a "rising star" Mercedes-Benz EQS can be described as a long way to go. Consumers are actually very easy to accept electric vehicles, but the price of these electric vehicles is below 400,000 yuan, consumers can accept the price of Tesla Model Y and Weilai EC6, but it is not easy to accept the price of Mercedes-Benz EQS, the same money to buy a Mercedes-Benz S-Class is not fragrant?
