The electrical novelty threw a part of the camouflage.
It should be noted that the coming Mercedes EQs cannot be called an electric equivalent of a new S-class (W223), since these two vehicles differ significantly, in addition to the power units. So, judging by the new pictures of the flagship model technically, there will be a LiftBekk, not a sedan.
In addition, EQs is significantly smoother than S-Class Sedan, due to a coupe-like roof line in the AMG GT 4-Door Coupe spirit, which is also a liftbek. On new spy photos it is difficult to see this, but on the back door of the prototype there is a full-sized light strip, shown last month in the teaser.
Also in the difference list it is necessary to specify the different location of mirrors and tiny glass sections on the front and rear pillar of the electrical model. The front panel is also completely new for the electric frame, with a closed radiator grid and new headlights with a curved form.
Equipped with a new architecture for electric vehicles (EVA), Mercedes EQS 2022 will continue the concept of Vision EQS presented in September 2019 at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
In fact, it will be the first specialized electric car from the brand, since all EQ models are still together with a non-existent electric version of the B-class started both cars based on the platform originally designed to accommodate the internal combustion engine. Little is known about EQs, although we recall, Mercedes has already confirmed that it will offer a range of more than 700 kilometers in WLTP testing mode.
Its interior was announced last month during the CES exhibition dedicated only to digital technologies, where we saw an extensive 56-inch huge Hyperscreen screen, consisting of a digital combination of instruments, an infotainment system with a touch screen and another display on the passenger side on the dashboard Panels. Available as an additional EQS equipment, the on-screen layout will be distributed to other models, but Mercedes has already announced that S-Class will not receive it.
EQS production will be started in the first half of this year at the factory Factory 56 in Sindelfingen in Germany, where a new S-class is collected. In 2022, the EQS SUV will be added to the factory in Tascalouse, where Mercedes is also going to produce a smaller EQE SUV. Meanwhile, EQB will appear later this year in the form of an electric GLB built in Kechkemet (Hungary) and Beijing (China), and we will also see the EQE sedan until the end of 2021, the production of which will be held in Bremen (Germany) and Beijing.
