Mercedes EQS is poised to set new standards in the electric flagship segment. If the Mercedes S-Class represented and represents the highest point of the thermal range of the Star, now with the EQS the electrical optimum has been reached. The super flagship was digitally unveiled by presenting technical innovations capable of dwarfing the competition starting from 770 km of autonomy, record aerodynamics and maxi screens on board for a total of 56 inches. Level 3 autonomous driving also arrives where permitted, which even rises to level 4 in parking situations. To all this is added the most important novelty, namely that of being the first Mercedes based on the new modular platform Eva intended for electric traction.
Mercedes EQS interior
Climb aboard a spaceship. The Mercedes EQS will ensure this sensation, thanks to the dashboard characterized by the 56-inch Hyperscreen infotainment with three control zones, one of which is for the front passenger and with seven different profiles. The Hyperscreen infotainment system uses 8 core CPUs, 24 Gb of Ram and 12 actuators under the touchscreen to activate real vibrations when a finger touches the screen. There are up to 350 sensors within the EQS that can monitor its many functions, the vehicle’s surroundings and passengers, including their body movements and speech. Naturally, there is no lack of artificial intelligence on board, with the voice assistant that can be activated via “Hey Mercedes” which is also able to open the rear doors, for example, to let their children get off in front of school.

Mercedes EQS, Autonomy and engines
Up to 770 kilometers of autonomy. The Mercedes EQS says goodbye to the range axiety thanks to the 107.8 kWh battery mounted on the more powerful 580 4Matic version. Equipped with all-wheel drive, it declares a power of 523 horsepower and 770 Nm generated by the two synchronous motors. The car sprints from 0 to 100 in 4.3 seconds. The second version, with rear-wheel drive (450+), boasts a 333 hp (245 kw) engine and 568 Nm of torque. A high performance EQS is also planned with a total power of the 2 engines of 761 hp (560Kw). Among the novelties, the possibility of recovering up to 290 Kw returned to the battery in the deceleration phases stands out. In this way, consumption is reduced and, depending on the version, it ranges from 15.7 to 21.8 kWh / 100 km.
