On March 16, Mercedes-Benz officially announced a flagship pure electric SUV, and the new car will be named EQS SUV, following the name of the pure electric flagship sedan EQS. The important thing is that the EQS SUV will be released on April 19, which should be during the Beijing Auto Show.
Accompanied by only one video of a camouflage car released by the official, the EQS SUV is available in 5-seater and 7-seater models. However, the official still released the interior pictures of the EQS SUV, and the biggest highlight is that it will be equipped with a 1.41-meter-long OLED screen.
But unlike Tesla's minimalist style, Mercedes still retains its traditional style. The interior is designed with leather and solid wood, large area of leather material, and there must be many multi-colored mood lights. With this luxurious texture, it seems that Mercedes-Benz is once again leading the interior design of luxury cars.
The 56-inch curved OLED screen with a length of 141 centimeters runs through the entire center console, I don't know if the supplier will be Bosch or one of the mainland? However, this large screen directly connects the driving dashboard, the central control large screen, and the co-pilot entertainment screen together, and the sense of science and technology is full of points.
The car system will be equipped with 8-core CPU and 24GB of memory, and equipped with NVIDIA Xavier AI car chips. The system supports rear-seat entertainment, Dolby Atmos, and more.
EQS SUVs are built on the basis of EQS sedans, and they all belong to the EVA2 dedicated electric vehicle platform. But Mercedes-Benz did not announce the motor power, speculating that the maximum output power of the dual-motor version should be comparable to the EQS 580 4MATICS, up to 517 horsepower, peak torque 828N .m.
Although the EQS SUV was still in secret before the release on April 19, the RECENT TESTING OF THE DUAL-MOTOR EQS SUV by the US media revealed some information.
The test was not only carried out on ordinary roads and woods, but also on a difficult cross-country. In the video provided by Mercedes-Benz, the EQS SUV camouflage car is playing on the beach, showing the desert off-road performance similar to mercedes-Benz G.
The test car was equipped with 21-inch rims, 275/45 R21 front tires and 285/45 R21 rear tires with Pirelli Sottozero all-season tires. But in the road test, the EQS SUV showed mercedes-benz's always quiet car, as well as ultra-smooth driving road sense, it seems that Mercedes-Benz has to be satisfied in this aspect.
The 56-inch Hyperscreen curved OLED screen in the interior needs to be optional to have (or a high-end version in China). Interestingly, only the passenger side can watch the video while driving, and the sound can only be played through headphones.
If the driver looks at the screen, the surveillance system detects and turns off the screen, which is designed to comply with the relevant safety regulations.
Mercedes-Benz plans to produce both the EQS and EQE SUVs at its Tuscaloosa plant in Alabama, USA. The plant has recently been retrofitted to accommodate traditional Mercedes-Benz SUVs such as GLE and GLS, as well as pure electric EQE and EQS SUVs.
Mercedes-Benz will work with Envision AESC to produce batteries and build a local battery factory to supply ternary lithium batteries for both models. The EQS SUV will be equipped with a 107.8kWh ternary lithium battery, and the WLTP standard endurance may reach 800km.
At present, the Mercedes-Benz pure electric sedan EQS is priced at 1.0796-151.86 million yuan in China, while the price of the new EQS SUV is definitely easily more than 1.2 million. Whether the EQS SUV is worth looking forward to, we know from the global release on April 19.
