A few hours ago, Mercedes-Benz brought another flagship of the EQ series, the EQS SUV. Around the same time last year, Mercedes-Benz released the EQS, the flagship sedan of the EQ series. Many people will compare the EQS with the S-Class, because the Mercedes-Benz S-Class has a pivotal role in the history of the car. And this time, the EQS SUV is relieved, it just has to do itself.
At 18:00 Beijing time on April 19, Mercedes-Benz released the flagship SUV model of the EQ series , the EQS SUV. As mercedes-Benz's flagship electric vehicle, it has received a lot of attention, and the core information of this EQS SUV we will introduce first.
EQS SUV | Large EQC
It should be said that the freshness of EQS has been completely digested by everyone. At first sight of the EQS SUV, it doesn't surprise us too much. But it is undeniable that the EQS SUV, as a pure electric platform model, at least meets our expectations for a Mercedes-Benz electric car.
EQS SUV | More three-dimensional than EQS
The EQS SUV is indeed reminiscent of EQS at first glance. However, as an SUV model, the EQS SUV is designed to be more tense and stretchy. In the few hours after the release, many netizens have said that the EQS SUV is more suitable than the EQS.
The EQS is not officially defined as a more orthodox sedan, and from the design point of view, it is between the coupe and the sedan. The EQS SUV is also not like an orthodox large SUV, quite similar to the role positioning of the Audi Q8. Overall, the exterior design of the EQS SUV is by no means outstanding, but under the background of the entire design language, the youthful atmosphere is still prominent.
EQS SUV | Mercedes-Benz luxury need not be questioned
Speaking of luxury cannot but make people think of Mercedes-Benz. After the appearance of the EQ series, Mercedes-Benz integrated technology and simplicity into the sense of luxury. The dual screen design once led an era, and now the central control part uses a whole screen. The EQS SUV uses a screen up to 1.41m long, the same as the EQS. Although its maintenance price must be expensive, Mercedes-Benz has thoughtfully added anti-fingerprint, scratch and other designs, showing the level of detail that old car companies should have.
According to the official introduction, the first row, second row and third row seats of the EQS SUV can obtain 1035/1030/900mm of longitudinal space respectively. Of course, due to the D-pillar design of the EQS SUV, we have to put a small question mark on the performance of the third row.
In addition to the parts we mentioned in this article, the EQS SUV has also been upgraded in several details, such as driver assistance functions, navigation functions, and so on. I believe that this model will meet with us soon, and we will introduce it to you through actual testing.
EQS SUV | The battery life has shrunk
As with the EQS unveiling, the EQS SUV also brought three models, namely the EQS SUV 450+/EQS SUV 450 4MATIC/EQS SUV 580 4MATIC. Although the appearance and interior are highly similar, the EQS SUV does not fully apply the powertrain of the EQS, and some parameters have been adjusted.
Specifically, Mercedes-Benz will launch the Maybach EQS SUV, EQE SUV and EQG in the follow-up this year, and the focus of the product is undoubtedly the flagship pure electric model; Audi will successively put the Q4 e-tron, Q5 e-tron and other models into the market, mainly attacking the volume of models, and "next door" BMW has also launched i7, i4, i3 and other electric models, and a new round of competition is about to begin.
Editor's comments: After a year, the launch of the EQS SUV is more like a small annual makeover, and its appearance has not brought too many surprises. What we see is a pragmatic product, mercedes-Benz has adopted a relatively conservative strategy for the flagship model. On closer inspection, the EQS SUV still has higher practicality than the EQS, such as more flexible space and relatively excellent field of view, and the ability to slightly off-road also adds to the car scene.
Last year, BMW surpassed Mercedes-Benz to become the world's hottest luxury brand. Not only that, bmw's many pure electric models have performed well in the market, which has put pressure on car inventors. When electrification arrived, Audi and Mercedes-Benz competed for the lead, but the results were not ideal. The emergence of electric vehicles not only blurs the boundaries of levels, but also makes luxury brands lose the strong premium ability of the fuel car period. Winning first is not a win, Mercedes-Benz still has a chance to reverse, but EQXX looks difficult to mass-produce, where is the way out?
