Some say that at the end of luxury, there is always a Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
Indeed, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class is like a wise man who sees the world clearly, no matter how the luxury car market changes, it has a unique and profound understanding of luxury, soberly and arrogantly watching the luxury car market rise and fall, and always maintain its leading position in the market.
When electrification comes, how does the Mercedes-Benz S-Class continue to lead the pure electric market? While we were still worried about what kind of answer Mercedes-Benz could come up with, it came to us with a new EQS and told us about Mercedes-Benz's new understanding of luxury in the era of electrification.
The new EQS: Mercedes-Benz's key to the future
When this new EQS is in front of you, you will find that it is too superficial to use words like "luxury" to describe it. Because "luxury" is a superficial description, when you dig deeper into this car, you will find that it is not only the flagship model of the Mercedes-EQ series, but also the benchmark of Mercedes-Benz's redefinition of the pure electric market.
As a blockbuster model of the inventor of the car in the era of electrification, the new EQS is more like a key, opening up a new thinking for Mercedes-Benz and even the entire automotive industry in the era of electrification.
In terms of design, what we see in the new EQS is the unprecedented emphasis of Mercedes-Benz, with more than 40 new inventions and 20 design patents, allowing the new EQS to further expand the electrification advantages of Mercedes-Benz.
In terms of appearance, the new EQS "three-bar" digital meteor shower headlights are in the same line as the S-class sedan, the three light spots highlight the S-class identity, and the daytime running lights echo with the 3D through-the-end spiral taillights of the rear, which further highlights the avant-garde aesthetics of the centennial Mercedes-Benz in the new pattern. But behind EQS's seemingly minimalist design, there are many not-so-simple design ideas.
Mercedes-Benz believes that the body lines that meet the requirements should be more pure, simple and efficient. Thus, the curved bow design concept of the new EQS of Mercedes-Benz electric flagship was born. At the same time, the car also has a 5227mm length and a wheelbase of 3210mm, providing nearly 1 meter of rear legroom, creating a flagship atmosphere and driving comfort in the era of electric luxury.
In fact, for Mercedes-Benz, such a size and driving enjoyment is not difficult. But as the new EQS that leads the way in luxury, it wants to do better, or rather, the best.
As an electric vehicle, the new EQS puts the biggest challenge on aerodynamics, and mercedes-Benz's design team found inspiration in nature.
Looking down, the entire body of mercedes-Benz electric flagship new EQS is like a water droplet, such a body structure makes its wind resistance coefficient as low as 0.20, and the effective air resistance area as low as 0.5 square meters, breaking the world record of existing mass production vehicles.
With such a gold content, the new EQS is destined to be a gathering point for everyone when it officially arrives from the "Factory 56" in Sindelfingen, Germany.
Although the new EQS is already extremely technological in terms of appearance, this does not mean that it will shrink on the inside. On the contrary, the inherent performance of the new EQS has pushed the luxury of Mercedes-Benz to a new height.
New EQS: Once again, subvert luxury
Inside the car, you will have a deep sense of what is the perfect blend of technology and luxury.
By the 1.41 meters of curved glass screen fused with three high-definition display MBUX super-screen, like a wave between the two sides of the door, the three screens covered with a whole piece of the automotive industry's largest interior glass, the thickness of only 2 mm, after special treatment, can effectively suppress the reflection and prevent scratches, corrosion, bumps and fingerprint retention.
At the same time, Mercedes-Benz's proud digital interactive experience is even more carried forward in the new EQS, using the industry's first "zero-level interface".
What is a "zero-level" operation? That is, all the information on the car screen is personalized, and the necessary information can always be neatly presented in front of the driver, and can be called at any time on the front page of the screen. "Zero level" brings the vehicle closer to the user, eliminating the need for the user to drill down into various submenu levels.
In addition, the "zero level" operation not only places the user's commonly used map navigation on the main interface of the central display, but also the functions of other users in 80%-90% of the use scenarios will also be distributed on this screen, within reach, no need to scroll the screen, no need to turn pages, and no need to enter various submenues to find. During the driving process, if the user does not want to touch the screen, the human-computer interaction can be completed even through voice operation.
It is worth mentioning that Mercedes-Benz's new MBUX intelligent human-computer interaction system has 8 core CPU, 24GB of memory, and a memory bandwidth of 46.4GB per second. Store up to 7 personal accounts and create your own personalized display content and services. The Mind Reader Speech Assistant supports natural language comprehension and recognizes 27 languages.
When we sit in this car, we know the true meaning of luxury.
Nappa leather seats and multi-functional sports steering wheel, pressure-sensitive buttons with Parisian stud decoration, exquisite wood trims, and a variety of comforts you can imagine and imagine, make the luxurious ride feel again, while Mercedes-Benz's first 64-color ambient mood light also provides 11 theme colors on the EQS, and three new themes have been added to the "Quiet In the Forest", "The Sound of the Ocean" and "Summer Rain", and are equipped with a tailor-made exclusive fragrance.
When the new EQS has taken the luxury and premium version to the extreme, don't forget that it is a pure tram. In addition to the digital experience that a pure tram should have, it also has the driving pleasure that only a supercar has.
The new EQS: True luxury is the ultimate breakthrough
No matter how times change, the essence of the car is still to meet the needs of better driving. No one understands this more than the centennial Mercedes-Benz. And this is also the core concept to be presented by the new EQS, a large Mercedes-Benz flagship model.
The new EQS's 111.8kWh high-capacity battery provides a long cruising range of 849km under CLTC conditions. At a charging power of 145 kilowatts, the power is restored from 10% to 80%, which takes only 37 minutes, which can be said to greatly relieve the anxiety of battery life. At the same time, the new EQS also offers a variety of power versions, with a maximum power rating of 380 kW, a peak torque of 855 Nm, a maximum of 4.4 seconds of acceleration per 100 km/h, 4 driving modes, 3 charging modes, 4 energy recovery modes (D+, D, D-, Dauto), and 2 special driving modes: Care Mode (Novice Driving Scene) and Valet Mode (Service Personnel Driving Scene).
The new EQS is available in both single-motor and dual-motor versions, with dual motors equipped with intelligent and timely four-wheel drive 4MATIC for 10,000 times per minute torque monitoring and intelligent, continuous variable distribution of torque; over 120 km/h, the body drops 20 mm below 80 km/h to restore normal height; the body can be set to raise 25 mm below 40 km/h to restore normal height; the four-link front suspension + multi-link rear suspension + Adaptive damping system that suppresses unwanted vibrations of the body in real time.
What is more exciting is Mercedes-Benz's emphasis on user experience. It is understood that the new EQS will continue the high-quality services of Mercedes-Benz, laying more than 365,000 public charging piles in more than 320 cities across the country and the fast charging network of "ten vertical and ten horizontal and two ring" highways.
The purpose of the new era of electric vehicles is to enable everyone to travel more calmly and conveniently. However, not every electric vehicle can provide a maximum power rating of 380kW through the technology of rear wheel steering, providing a steering diameter of only 10.9 meters for bodies over 5.2 meters; this means that the steering diameter of the new EQS is even close to that of a mid-level car.
Write at the end:
Before mercedes-Benz's flagship electric model came out, the outside world was mixed. But no one can deny that when the D-class car is still a symbol of identity and status behind it, pure tram + flagship car still has unshakable rights.
Perhaps as Kang Linsong, chairman of the board of directors and director of research and development of Daimler AG, said in the face of doubts, "When designing these new products, our first consideration is to face the future rather than stick to the past, innovate and try new things, and become a unique existence and benchmark at this level." ”
The new Mercedes-Benz EQS always stands for the future.
