The time and location of Mercedes-Benz's world premiere EQS SUV was supposed to be at the Beijing Auto Show. The postponement of the auto show did not stop the release of the EQS SUV, and the Mercedes-Benz flagship SUV still came to everyone as promised.
In fact, about this SUV, even if there are no spoilers or spy photos before the release, everyone can guess it, or if you know what the Mercedes-Benz EQS looks like, you must be able to think of the EQS SUV - this is also a tacit routine of Mercedes-Benz in the era of electrification.
With a length of 5125 mm and a wheelbase of more than 3 meters and a third row of seats, the EQS SUV is reminiscent of the Audi Q6 that was just warmed up the day before? In fact, a car of this size, even if the third row seat has a relatively good space, it is not very useful, basically a gimmick. But since even the GLB can choose the third row of seats, the EQS SUV is equivalent to the glus of the fuel car, and this option must also be available.
The EQS SUV is based on Mercedes-Benz's exclusive pure electric platform EVA2, on which EQS SUVs are also available, as well as EQS sedans, EQE sedans and EQE SUVs. It can be seen that although the shape of the EQS SUV still has typical SUV attributes, there is a clear trend towards MPV, such as the water tangent line is significantly raised, the upper body appears small, and the roof line is not the right angle design of GLS. And the position of the A-pillar is moved forward, and when viewed from the side of the car, the bottom of the A-pillar has almost reached the position of the midline of the front wheel.
Mercedes-Benz in the front face of the EQS SUV is the use of a star-dotted front grille design, this design originally appeared in the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show Mercedes-Benz concept car, the theme of the Mercedes-Benz pavilion was also this design, and now finally realized on the electric car, it is also the expectation of the public,
In terms of interior design, the design theme of the EQS SUV is highly consistent with the EQS released earlier, which is of course expected. This design was still relatively shocking at the beginning of the release, and now it seems that it is indeed luxurious and technological, but if there is no accident, this design will soon appear in a high imitation version on other brands. In fact, the core of Mercedes-Benz's interior design is not the visual effect on the surface, but its car machine core, and Mercedes-Benz will also develop its own exclusive car machine MB.OS system in the future.
On the core that people care about the most, the EQS SUV, like the EQS, the starting model is the 450 and 580 nominal models, both of which use a 107.8 kWh battery pack, but the highest mileage expressed by Mercedes-Benz WLTP 660 km comes from the single motor 450+ version, and the dual motor 450 and 580 versions have a range between 507-613 km. And all of its maximum power of 400 kilowatts, the maximum torque of 858 Nm, is the data of the 580 high-end dual motor version.
In fact, in the EQS SUV such a car, people may still be able to see what Mercedes-Benz's future electric vehicles will look like, because this car itself should still be a big toy for a few people, Mercedes-Benz chose to launch this high-end electric SUV in Beijing, and it is the electric SUV of the benchmark GLS, which was also optimistic about the attention of the Chinese market to this car, such an electric vehicle, in the European market, is at most a mascot-like model. Perhaps, we should pay more attention to whether the next generation of EQC will still be oil to electricity?
