Some people say that BBA in the field of traditional fuel, the market has reached the point of calling for wind and rain. However, in the era of new energy, the new forces of car manufacturing have stolen the limelight, and BBA only has the only brand aura left, and many advantages accumulated in the fuel field for many years have been lost.
Is this really the case? Through several years of exploration of the new energy market, "ginger or old spicy" BBA are in the new energy, Mercedes-Benz's electrification transformation is also a drastic axe, although the "EQ" new energy exclusive brand launched a number of oil to electricity models, but does not affect the penetration of Mercedes-Benz in the high-end new energy market.
Recently, following the launch of the pure electric flagship sedan EQS, another pure electric flagship SUV of Mercedes-Benz EQ has also been officially unveiled, which is the new EQS SUV.
It has to be said that the new EQS SUV is inextricably linked to the EQS, and the relationship between the two is like the relationship between the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and the GLS SUV. So, we can see a lot of excellent designs in EQS SVS.
The appearance is still the EQ family design style, closed grille, grille with multiple three-pronged star emblem inside, through-LED light strip, hidden door handle, electric charging port, fixed side step with aerodynamic and through-led taillights, there is a feeling of light luxury technology.
In terms of body size, the new EQS is positioned as a pure electric large SUV, with a length, width and height of 5125/1959/1718mm, a wheelbase of 3210mm, a trunk up to 2100L, and a five-seater and seven-seater option. The GLS SUV is 5218/2030/1823mm in length, width and height, and the wheelbase is 3135mm. As a result, the EQS SUV is more dominant in wheelbase, making it easier to fit seven people.
In terms of interior layout, the new EQS SUV is almost the same as the EQS sedan, and the 12.3-inch full LCD instrument and the 17.7-inch central control screen are composed of a whole OLED seamless curved screen, which directly fills the scientific and technological atmosphere, and the latest MBUX Hyperscreen system can realize intelligent induction assistants, multi-seat entertainment interconnection and other rich car and machine functions.
Mercedes-Benz has always been good at luxury building, it can only be said that it is still the king of this field, the center console has a whole piece of ash wood trim with a three-pronged star emblem, which instantly makes the center console area look very luxurious.
Prismatic striped leather seats are equipped with flannel headrests, and you can also choose all NAPPA leather materials and environmentally friendly materials that represent the unique new energy, while the first two rows of seats support electric adjustment, seat heating/ventilation/massage and other functions, the second row also has its own entertainment system, and even the third row also supports the choice of seat heating... The sense of ceremony that should be there is not less for you.
If you want to choose the 7-seat version, the third row can also get on and off the car gracefully, the second row of seats can be moved forward by up to 130mm, leaving a spacious upper and lower space for passengers in the third row, and the way to enter and exit the third row is also very simple, just press the button above the second row of seats, and the seat will automatically fold forward.
Speaking of performance and battery life, the new EQS SUV and EQS sedan are based on the EVA platform, and the early stage is also the first to launch the EQS SUV 450+ and EQS SUV 580 4MATIC two versions.
The 450+ is equipped with a single motor at the rear axle, which can output 360 hp and 568 Nm, and the zero-hundred acceleration takes only 6.2 seconds, while in terms of endurance, the 450+ version is equipped with a 108 kWh battery, although the weight of the car has reached 2620kg, but the cruising range can still reach 592 km.
The 580 4MATIC, equipped with dual motors in front and rear, can output 544 horsepower and 858 Nm, zero hundred acceleration can reach 4.7 seconds, while in terms of endurance, the 580 4MATIC version has reached a weight of 2620 kg and a cruising range of 660 km. However, compared with the 450+ version, the 580 4MATIC version has an additional set of electric four-wheel drive system, which can achieve a reaction speed of 10,000 times a second to control the front and back output ratio.
Driving hardware, the first two versions of the first two versions are equipped with air suspension and rear axle steering as standard, the rear wheel steering angle can reach 4.5 °, the turning diameter can also be 11.9m, of course, you can also choose to install a steering angle of 10° Rear wheel steering system, so that the turning diameter can be reduced to 11m.
It is reported that in the later stage, there will be a more violent performance of the AMG version, and a more extreme luxury Maybach version launched, I believe that with the arrival of EQS SUV and EQS, it also marks that Mercedes-Benz is also the first in the pure electric top stream market layout.
