That said, it's coming, and it's fast.

December 17 until noon, everyone's hot topic, or mercedes-Benz new EQS listing - this is Mercedes-Benz's first pure electric luxury car, but also Mercedes-Benz's pure electric sedan flagship car, with a bow-shaped arc, appeared in front of people's eyes, when the price was announced, we suddenly found that pure electric "S" class, is still the top stream mode of luxury cars, after a short time in the mind, can find a hard fight with the new EQS, only Tesla Model S, As a result, the electric "S" level war was launched in the form of military chess deduction.

In particular, although the price of porsche Taycan is also comparable to the new EQS, the two main parameters of space and endurance are too different, so it is not a deduction comparison.

People with feelings and professional standards, when it comes to luxury cars, they always can't get around the "tiger head running", in the car circle, Mercedes-Benz S-Class is a luxury car that has been chased and has never been surpassed. This time, unlike before, the new EQS is a complete change of energy mode, and it came later than the opponent.

Deduction 1: On luxury

In fact, even if you just look at the pictures, until the size of the new EQS and Model S is very different. The new EQS has a wheelbase of 3210 mm and body sizes of 5216× 1926× 1512 mm. Compared with the width of the new EQS, the Model S has a wheelbase of 2960 mm and a smaller body size: 4979×1964× 1445 mm.

Coupled with the new EQS's short front and rear overhangs, the advantages of interior space are even more prominent.

As the originator of the automotive industry, Mercedes-Benz still adheres to the purpose of arming "luxury" to the teeth even in the field of pure electric vehicles, so the luxury of the new EQS is far beyond the imagination of Model S owners.

From the material to the details, every part of the new EQS exterior to the interior is incredibly delicate and ingenious – 1.3 million thumb-sized micro-lenses make up the digital headlamps accurately projected with a lighting resolution of more than 2.6 million pixels In order to obtain better NVH performance, the new EQS uses a special material of sound insulation cotton, seals the electric drive system of the front and rear axles, and the electric drive system of the front and rear axles is completely wrapped, the inverter uses three layers of metal and plastic interlayer for sound insulation treatment, the floor uses new sound insulation components, and even contains beads on the floor of the new EQS to prevent surface resonance ......

In addition, berlin audio, electric doors with multiple sensors and other luxury equipment, are also not available on other models, in the new EQS, a total of 350 sensors installed, just the number of sensors, enough to show how fine the new EQS is.

Deduction two: on performance

The performance level of the Porsche Taycan is closer to that of the new EQS, but the range is lower. Relatively speaking, although the size is different, the performance of tesla Model S should be the most prominent, the three-motor Model S Plaid zero hundred acceleration only 2.1 seconds, the dual motor version of the Model S zero hundred acceleration is 3.2 seconds, the two CLTC comprehensive working conditions mileage of 637 km and 652 km respectively.

In contrast, the clTC comprehensive operating range of the new EQS has reached 800 kilometers, and the rear-drive version of the EQS450+ has a zero-hundred-hundred-second acceleration of 6.2 seconds, while the four-wheel-drive version of the EQS 580 4MATIC zero-hundred-hundred accelerates of 4.3 seconds.

The advantages and disadvantages of the two "Ss" are very obvious from the numbers, the new EQS in addition to performance, more compromise on the comfort of passengers, and the performance of the Model S is more suitable for drag racing.

In addition, the new EQS energy recovery system is also a major feature: its maximum energy recovery power reaches 186 kW and 290 kW respectively, coupled with a wind resistance coefficient significantly exceeding the Model S's 0.20, which can bring a longer cruising range for the new EQS.

Deduction three: scientific and technological strength

On December 13, The "conditional autonomous driving" system of the Mercedes-Benz L3 level passed the technical regulation approval of the German Federal Motor Vehicle Administration (KBA), becoming the first car brand in the world to be certified by the UN-regulation UN-R157.

This is an interstitial message.

But this news demonstrates the advantages of the new EQS in autonomous driving assistance technology from the side. Although Tesla does not encourage car owners to "test" their autopilot systems, the latest generation of driver assistance systems used in the new EQS has added a lot of new features in terms of configuration.

The new EQS is equipped with lidar and blue light recognition sensing equipment, in addition to the new "micro-sleep warning" for the driver's eyelid monitoring, this new and upgraded automatic driving assistance system can also achieve lane keeping within 60-250 km / h, traffic sign recognition, cross traffic active braking assistance, intelligent parking, active lane change assistance, emergency avoidance steering assistance within 110 km / h and a series of functions...

In addition to the obvious advantages of systems such as autopilot assist, the chassis and safety level of the new EQS also leaves the opponent far behind: the standard rear wheel follow-up steering of 4.5 degrees can be activated by the optional or OTA remote online upgrade to obtain up to 10 degrees of rear wheel steering, which not only obtains a rare 10.9-meter turning diameter for the huge body, but also realizes the power of "drifting into the library" on some parking spaces.

After all, the new EQS is a new car that has just been listed, strictly speaking, this new "S" level brings a full range of changes, therefore, in addition to the features mentioned in the text, the new EQS also has a lot of unique black technology, including four-door electric induction opening and closing, etc., after all, the data deduction of the two cars is limited to big changes, and the details need to be experienced by the owners themselves.
