With the continuous popularization of pure electric models, the update of the platform is imperative, Mercedes-Benz and BMW are not active in this regard, perhaps the traditional car-making system has been deeply rooted for many years, and Mercedes-Benz's first pure electric model EQA is also known as the MRA platform "oil to electricity" model. The restrictions of oil to electricity for an electric vehicle are obvious, such as the space is equivalent to that of fuel vehicles, but there is no advantage in the field of pure electricity, and the endurance and driving sense cannot correspond to the strength and status of traditional models.
Mercedes-Benz also realized that the real pure electric exclusive platform has unique advantages in terms of space utilization and the level of vehicle intelligence, so it gradually launched the first pure electric MEA platform, and listed the entry-level models such as EQC and EQA produced on the MEA platform, but after the launch, many users gave the "oil to electricity" evaluation. In my opinion, the MEA platform is more of a test of Mercedes-Benz's electrification transformation, while this platform launches the market and expresses the determination of electrification transformation, Mercedes-Benz can free up time to develop a new electric vehicle architecture, which should be the transformation route of the vast majority of traditional car companies.
Then Mercedes-Benz launched the corresponding medium and large above the level of EVA platform, is based on pure electric platform forward research and development, and listed based on the EVA platform production of EQS, EQS using a new electrical and electronic architecture, hundreds of ECU has been streamlined into 5 domain controllers: powertrain domain controller, automatic driving domain controller, cockpit domain controller, body domain controller, communication domain controller, they form a hardware layer - basic software layer - functional software layer layer of the hierarchical architecture.
The appearance of the EQS SUV is still using the Pure Electric Design of the Mercedes-Benz family, the body size is 5125mm/1959mm/1718mm, the wheelbase is 3210, compared with the Mercedes-Benz GLS produced by the MHA platform, the body is smaller, but the wheelbase is larger, which also shows that the Mercedes-Benz EVA platform is redesigned in space, not directly replaced by the engine transmission these directly into the drive motor battery.
In terms of interior design, the EQS SUV layout continues the EQS design style, using OLED throughout the seamless curved screen, multi-screen design, compared to the traditional fuel model, it is definitely more technological and fashionable, canceling the traditional single room knob and reducing too much air conditioning outlet.
The EQS SUV is available in rear single-motor drive and four-wheel drive dual-motor, with 360 hp, 568N·m maximum torque electric motor and a cruising range of 1111km. The total horsepower of the 580 model is 858N·m, the maximum horsepower is 544 horses, just from the data point of view, it has already felt a little scary, such a large horsepower power, the endurance can have 1111km? I can't believe that EQS's Ningde 111.8kWh battery, 336 horsepower, and the endurance is only 849km. Both cars are pure electricity of the same level, the appearance and interior are not much different, and the power endurance is actually the largest difference, which is really strange.
Also a high-end luxury model, it adopts a chassis design with four-link front suspension and independent multi-link rear suspension, equipped with AIRMATIC air suspension with continuously adjustable damping, matched with five dynamic select functions, and in order to enhance the flexibility of the vehicle, the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV is also equipped with a rear wheel active steering system of up to 10 degrees, and its turning diameter is only 11 meters. These two configurations needless to say, we all know that it is the exclusive of large luxury cars, as for the experience, I think the price is a good proof.
As mercedes-benz's third model based on the EVA pure electric platform forward research and development of the model and the first SUV model, the new EQS pure electric SUV follows the EQS many designs, but and the traditional fuel model, there is a world of difference, plus high-end luxury pure electric SUV, with a strong product force and competitiveness, from EQS to EQS SUV, it has been clearly seen that the EVA platform has become the level of the car brand, although Mercedes-Benz has a real sense of pure electric platform, But the EVA platform is obviously customized by Mercedes-Benz for luxury models, and the real amount of EQA and EQC is still not landed.
