In my circle of friends in the past two days, the most brushed screen is undoubtedly the debut of the first SUV model EQS pure electric SUV created by the Mercedes-EQ brand based on the EVA pure electric platform. Although it has not yet been exposed to real cars, it can be seen that whether it is a fuel vehicle or a new energy model, you never need to doubt that it will be stingy with luxury, and the simple understanding is that it is still very luxurious.
However, now that new energy vehicles have become the time node of future development direction, it is obviously inappropriate if we still only pay attention to how luxury brands, including Mercedes-Benz, interpret luxury through materials and workmanship. So in today's article, we may wish to see what innovations the EQS pure electric SUV has made from the perspective of the luxury flagship pure electric SUV.
First of all, the EQS pure electric SUV's "Dark Star Array" closed grille and bow body design.
In fact, from fuel vehicles to new energy vehicles in the design, most car companies have always advocated the design of simplifying complexity, especially the simplified design of the previous face, and everyone has invariably adopted the practice of closed grille. After all, the function of engine intake is no longer needed, so the design of the tram has higher requirements for the effect of matching with the whole vehicle.
The EQS pure electric SUV also adopts a simplified design of closed grille, but on this basis, it has been added and decorated with star emblems, and the recognition has been improved. The difference is that the same is a suite, yours is rough, mine is hardcover.
In addition to the "Night Star Array" closed grille, the EQS pure electric SUV also features the bow-shaped body design we saw on the EQS before. The author believes that the bow body design is not only to improve the look and feel, that is, to make the new car line more smooth, and the deeper level is in the function.
The bow body design is academically physical, with smooth lines that reduce wind resistance for acceleration and endurance improvements, and of course maximize crew compartment. The first is to reduce the wind resistance to improve the endurance, as we all know, under the same conditions, the tram wind resistance coefficient is reduced by 0.01, which can increase the cruising range by about 5 to 8km.
In order not to waste more energy on resistance to wind resistance, pure electric models should consider the problem of reducing energy consumption in the design, so the reason why the EQS pure electric SUV did not adopt a square design similar to GLS and choose a bow-shaped body design with better fluency.
The other is to maximize the crew compartment. Speaking of the maximization of the crew compartment, it is necessary to mention the positioning and size of the EQS pure electric SUV, as a medium and large SUV positioning 7 seats, the new car length and width is 5125/1959/1718mm, the wheelbase is 3210mm, plus the crew cabin maximization practice makes the front and rear space become larger, and the simple meaning is to let the front and rear rows have the same enjoyment.
Then to the second point, MBUX hyper-screen.
Speaking of the joint screen, it is now very common, from the joint screen of the instrument and the central control has been expanded to the joint screen of the instrument, the central control and the co-driver. One of the advantages of the central control of the screen everywhere is to quickly improve the level of intelligent technology of a car, but whether the experience is good or not is another matter.
Speaking of the changes of Mercedes-Benz in the central control in recent years, its change logic is from the joint screen change of the instrument and the central control to the instrument after the replacement of the main fuel vehicle, the separation of the central control screen and the EQ model instrument based on the pure electric platform, the central control and the co-driver super screen. At present, the 1.41-meter-long MBUX super screen is already the killer of EQS and EQS pure electric SUVs.
Although the instrument, central control, and co-pilot are displayed separately, the three screens fit perfectly with a customized Corning Gorilla Glass surface, plus the air conditioning outlets on both sides, which can be said to be fully considered from the look and feel. The more core of this system is with 8 core CPU and 24GB of memory and NVIDIA Xavier AI chip, so as to achieve a "zero-level interface" and rich car functions.
Here, to explain the "zero-level interface", this concept is more common on mobile phones, the so-called "zero-level interface" is that there is no submenu, reducing the inconvenience of operation, which is like transparent and colored bags, you see all, do not need to open the bag to see what it is. As for more functions of MBUX super-joint screen, wait for the real car experience to unlock for everyone.
Finally, the off-road performance of the EQS pure electric SUV.
Before the big publicity of urban SUVs, everyone's understanding of SUVs must be related to off-road, specific to how many differential locks, load-bearing and non-load-bearing bodies, ground clearance levels and so on are everyone's attention. But after the urban SUV that is more adapted to the urban road is out of the circle, the off-road performance is avoided by most urban SUVs, not to mention the pure electric SUV without a mechanical four-wheel drive mechanism now.
In a series of pure electric SUVs launched in recent years, the description of the four-wheel drive system is basically focused on the distribution of front and rear wheel power ratios. But off-road performance is the key part of the EQS pure electric SUV this appearance, although it is not yet possible to know how the experience is, but from the hardware point of view, the new car is "material".
The EQS pure electric SUV is paired with a 4MATIC all-wheel drive system, featuring a chassis design with four-link front suspension and independent multi-link rear suspension, as well as continuously adjustable damped AIRMATIC air suspension. According to reports, after adjusting to off-road mode, the body can be raised by 25 mm to ensure passability.
No matter how good the material is, it also depends on how the skill of the spoon is, so this part leaves suspense for the time being, but the EQS pure electric SUV will list the off-road performance as a key part, which should withstand everyone's spot check, not to mention that not many people will take the pure electric SUV to the extreme off-road. Therefore, the main force of the EQS pure electric SUV is still the urban traffic part, here, it depends on its endurance and power.
First of all, the EQS pure electric SUV is equipped with a rear axle motor as standard, and the dual-motor model is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor at the front and rear, providing a maximum output power of 400 kW and a peak torque of up to 858 Nm. Combined with a battery with a capacity of 107.8 kWh, the range can reach 660 km under WLTP conditions. Compared with the motor parameters, I pay more attention to the mileage, after all, the power dimension of the tram is whether the power output and recycling are comfortable, which is to see the adjustment orientation, and the mileage reflects whether there is cruising anxiety.
It can be seen that the endurance of the EQS pure electric SUV is WLTP condition, which is second only to the most stringent EPA test standard at present. According to the fidelity of the battery life, it has always been EPA>wlTP> NEDC>CLTC, so the endurance authenticity of the EQS pure electric SUV is still reliable, but the mileage is still combined with the driving conditions.
In any case, the debut of the EQS pure electric SUV is an answer given by the inventor of the car Mercedes-Benz how it has built a luxury model in the field of new energy, and it is also the answer to its comprehensive electric transformation released last year. As the flagship SUV, the EQS pure electric SUV has many highlights, and finally, we may wish to look forward to the price and actual performance.
