Experience the EQS SUV: Trams are quite powerful, but luxury is the only way to support a million-dollar price?

In the era of fuel vehicles, how do medium and large SUVs of luxury brands support the price of one million yuan? In addition to using large-displacement engines to build technical "barriers", the luxurious interior is also a value that cannot be ignored. However, in the pure electric era, the arrival of Tesla seems to have changed a lot of our cognition, emphasizing the ultimate power performance and cutting-edge technology, subverting the car value system we are familiar with, and more importantly, consumers seem to be buying it. In this regard, Mercedes-Benz, a traditional luxury brand with a century of experience in car manufacturing, disagrees a little, so it brings its own new understanding of the million-level pure electric SUV-the upcoming Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV, a pure electric mid-to-large SUV . So the question is, compared with the current popular million-level pure electric SUV, what is the difference between the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV? Check out our static experience.

A 7-seater SUV with a length of more than 5.1 meters, but it does not look big

Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV is the third model based on the EVA pure electric platform. The first two models are Mercedes-Benz EQS and Mercedes-Benz EQE. Therefore, we have certain expectations in terms of appearance. There are countless small "Starlight" logos on China Net, which are highly recognizable; the interior of the headlights is also very technological, which can recognize oncoming vehicles and automatically adjust the far and near beams; After that it looks good.

It is worth noting that the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV is more than 5.1 meters long and has a wheelbase of more than 3.2 meters. However, the vehicle does not look too big from the picture, especially the side of the car does not have any bloated feeling. The main reason is that the new car was tested in the virtual wind tunnel Thousands of calculations have been carried out, including the streamlined shape of the wheels, tires, A-pillars, front and rear wheel spoilers, etc., have been aerodynamically optimized, so the drag coefficient can be as low as 0.26Cd.

Of course, after putting it together with other medium and large SUVs or seeing the real car, the identity of the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV medium and large SUV will be more obvious, and the interior space is also sufficient to achieve a three-row, seven-seater layout. Look, the comfort and seat functions still maintain the consistent level of Mercedes-Benz, and the thick padding and seat ventilation, heating, and massage functions are also fully worthy of the million-level status.

Is the wood grain used for trams very old-fashioned? Adding the starlight will solve it

After seeing most pure electric SUVs in China, I believe everyone will feel that they are "cookies". Most of them use a few large screens and simple lines to outline the entire cockpit, which is also a good start for Tesla to "bring". However, the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV will naturally not follow this trend. After all, the million-level price and the status of a luxury brand do not allow it to do so.

The Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV basically continues the cockpit style of the Mercedes-Benz EQS. The sense of luxury and technology is perfectly integrated. In a simpler way, each position can reflect its million-dollar value. Specifically, almost all parts of the interior of the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV are wrapped in leather, and the stitching and seams are significantly higher than those of the Tesla Model X. In addition, the wood grain material is still the best way for Mercedes-Benz to show its luxury. Therefore, wood grain materials can be seen in front of the central armrest and on the door armrests, and there are countless "Starlight" logos printed on the wood grain. It won't feel vulgar.

In other aspects of the interior, there are also the use of different materials including chrome plating, baking paint, suede, etc. If you choose a light-colored interior, the contrast in this material will be greater, and the sense of luxury will be more realistic. .

Of course, as a pure electric SUV, the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV does not lack technological components. The visual effect of a large curved glass on the center console is quite shocking. Inside, there are 12.3-inch instrument display, 17.7-inch central display, and 12.3-inch The co-pilot display screen, in addition, the new car also has two entertainment screens in the rear row, so the technological experience it brings is not inferior to the new forces.

In terms of car-machine systems, we are already very familiar with the MBUX intelligent human-computer interaction system equipped on the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV. The exquisite UI screen and smooth use experience have won praise from many users. The comprehensive upgrade will be the first Mercedes-Benz model series to support OTA remote online upgrade to enable many functions.

It is worth noting that the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV has made considerable efforts in NVH. For example, in order to reduce or prevent low-frequency noise from affecting comfort, acoustic sound insulation foam is filled in many cavities of the body; transitional parts between the six side windows Special sealing is carried out, these are the places that are easily overlooked by domestic pure electric SUVs, and the effect is naturally that the dynamic and quiet feeling is ahead of its peers.

Standard equipped with rear wheel active steering, not only good driving control, but also off-road?

The power aspect can be regarded as the highlight of the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV. The new car provides a rear-drive single-motor version EQS 450+, and two four-wheel drive dual-motor versions: EQS 450 4MATIC and EQS 580 4MATIC. Among them, the maximum output power of EQS 450+ is 265kW; the maximum output power of EQS 450 4MATIC and EQS 580 4MATIC is 265kW and 400kW respectively. The cruising range under WLTP conditions can reach 671 kilometers.

There is no doubt that the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV can be regarded as top-level in terms of power. I believe that the zero-hundred acceleration can easily run in 5 seconds, but when it comes to this acceleration level, it is not very meaningful to be so fast by 1 second, so it is not as good as To improve in other aspects, it is obvious that the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV does this.

For example, the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV is equipped with active rear wheel steering as standard, with an angle of up to 4.5 degrees, and an optional rear wheel active steering with a steering angle of up to 10 degrees, which reduces the turning diameter from 11.9 meters to 11.0 meters, comparable to many compact models , driving control has been greatly improved.

In addition, Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV is also equipped with AIRMATIC air suspension with continuously adjustable damping ADS+. It is worth noting that in the "off-road" driving mode of the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV, the acceleration of the vehicle will be more linear, and the body will also be raised by 25 mm. When the speed exceeds 80 km/h, the body will automatically lower to the normal level; if the speed is lower than 50 km/h, the body will be raised again. In other words, this set of air suspension can adaptively control the chassis height of the vehicle body in off-road mode, improving the adaptability of the vehicle in different scenarios.

What's more advanced is that the off-road mode can also be matched with the ESP system, so that the tires hardly slip. The principle is that the torque can be automatically distributed between eATS and ESP. This is actually similar to the differential lock on an off-road vehicle, but in the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV On the body, it has become a smarter "electronic differential lock", so this pure electric medium and large SUV has the rare off-road and fun capabilities that are rare in its class.

Conclusion:

Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV represents the highest level of Mercedes-Benz in the field of pure electric vehicles. We have seen long-lost luxury and a fully perceivable sense of technology from the product. More importantly, it also brings its own advantages in all-scenario travel. It is understood that with powerful off-road functions, users can drive a 7-seater pure electric SUV and carry out some off-road travel activities comfortably, which is currently impossible for other pure electric SUVs, including Tesla.
