We often say that the development speed of traditional brand new energy is slow, will there be no technical reserves, obviously for them is just the time has not come, now it is time for them to show their muscles. On April 19, 2022, Mercedes officially released a new generation of EQS SUV, the new car positioning large SUV, based on the Mercedes-Benz EVA platform, can also be seen as an EQS SUV version.
The arrival of Mercedes-Benz EQS has indeed refreshed our understanding of the new energy of traditional luxury brands, while the EQS SUV is more like a pull-up version of EQS, if a hunting version is launched in the middle, it will be very harmonious. The overall shape of the front face and the EQS have basically remained the same, but because of the identity of the SUV, it looks taller and the size of the lower bracket is more exaggerated.
The grid of the Central Net Star Glow adopts a closed design, which is actually somewhat similar to the central control screen of the interior, with the daytime running light strip officially called the "Ring of Time and Space", and the three LED light strips below, the recognition is very high. The headlights are the DIGITAL LIGHT headlight group that appeared on the EQS, and the two sets of headlights add up to 2.6 million pixels, which can perfectly display the light pattern and lighting effect, and this is not the first time that Mercedes-Benz has shown lights in the "S class".
Coming to the side of the car, it seems that it is not very tempting to design the EQS as a station wagon and then raise it, expanding the effect after the wheel brow, if compared with the current fuel SUV flagship GLS, it does lack some momentum, it looks softer, and its purpose is also to reduce wind resistance. Another design to reduce wind resistance is that new cars and EQS can not open the hood, and the wiper can be filled from the filling port of the fender, after all, for pure electric vehicles, you have nothing to check.
The design of the tail is also very simple, and the through-type LED light strip is very recognizable at night, but the new car actually adopts the exhaust port shape of a conventional fuel vehicle, which is also aimed at increasing the sense of sport. However, for him of this size, it is indeed commendable that it can be designed so elegantly and dynamicly. In the body size part, the length, width and height of the new car are 5125/1959/1718mm, the wheelbase is 3210mm, the body length is slightly shorter and the EQS, and the wheelbase is consistent.
When you come inside the car, you may not know whether you are in an EQS or an EQS SUV, the design of the two cars is exactly the same, maybe you will get a higher and wider view in the EQS car, that's all. Almost occupy the entire central control screen is the latest design of Mercedes-Benz, of course, this is optional, by the 17.7-inch OLED central control display, 12.3-inch instrument panel and 12.3-inch co-pilot screen composition, the overall width of 1.41 meters, the optional sense of technology and luxury will be greatly improved, if not selected is a relatively conventional design.
MbUX Hyperscreen's built-in car machine system is equipped with 8 core CPU and 24GB of memory and NVIDIA Xavier AI chip, which can meet a large number of car functions in the car. In addition, the new car will be equipped with a Dolby Atmos sound system, paired with an interior air evolution fragrance system called No.6 MOOD Mimosa, to give you the best driving experience.
Seat part, EQS SUV positioning is obviously more front row, so the luxury of the rear row can certainly not be compared with the S class, the whole series of standard 5 seats, but can choose to install the third row of seats, the material and comfort of the seat do not have to be questioned. And the loading capacity is also very exaggerated, according to the official introduction, in the case of 5 seats, the trunk can also hold 4 sets of golf bags.
In the power section, the EQS SUV provides the same power as the EQS, which is divided into the EQS SUV 450+ and the EQS SUV 580 4MATIC, the former is a single-motor rear drive, and the latter is a dual-motor four-wheel drive. The 450+ models have a maximum power/torque of 265 kW/568 Nm and the 580 4MATIC have a maximum power/858 Nm, with a battery capacity of 107.8 kWh and a range of up to 660 km under WLTP conditions. The charging part, in the case of DC fast charging, the power from 10% to 80% only takes 31 minutes.
Rear wheel steering seems to have become the standard of the "S" class, which is a rather practical configuration for a car with a body size of more than 5 meters and most of the time in the city, the steering angle of the rear wheel can reach up to 10 °, the turning half pound is also reduced from 11.9m to 11m, and the psychological pressure of driving in the city will be easier. Suspension section, the new car will also be equipped with AIRMATIC air suspension.
summary
As a flagship model, the EQS SUV can also be seen as a new benchmark for luxury pure electric large SUV, and its overall design is basically the same as that of EQS, but because of its SUV identity, it looks more stretched. The new car should be listed in China in the near future, blind guess should be more attractive to domestic users than EQS, after all, its positioning will be more in line with the needs of the current top tycoons.
