The German automaker started the final stage of the development of a competitor Tesla Model S: The prototypes of the representative electric sedan EQS were seen on European roads almost without camouflage.
According to 32cars.ru, despite similar with the traditional S-class sizes, EQS will have completely different body proportions: with a short nose, sliding the back and a long cab. And the tiny windows in the area of the front doors are usually installed at the minivans.
But within the similarity with the flagship of the company in Generation S223 much more. There are also the same central 11,9-inch touchscreen and a 12.3-inch digital dashboard. The remaining elements of the interior are still hidden from the eye curious.
The new Mercedes-Benz EQS electrocamp will be created on the basis of EVA architecture created specifically for environmentally friendly transport. In this case, the serial version of the model is a continuation of the idea of the Vision EQs concept car, represented at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2019, where the journalists of the SPEEDME.ru edition visit. In fact, the automaker is preparing its first electric car developed on a new specialized platform, since all models of the EQ series, released earlier, were created on "carts" for cars with traditional engine.
The Germans have already confirmed the reserve of 700 km. EQS is expected to be driven by two electric motors: one for each axis. Their total return will exceed 400 hp. Power.
Mercedes-Benz intends to establish EQS release at the company's main factory near Stuttgart. It is noteworthy that other models of the EQ electric family are assembled in other factories: EQC - in Bremen, and EQA - in Rastatt. TESLA MODEL S, Porsche Taycan and Audi E-TRON GT should get to the showrooms later in 2021: exact terms are not yet called.
An electrified version of its S-Class is part of an electrification plan. According to the plan, the automaker will offer completely electrical versions of the class equivalents from A to S, making a bet on the fact that electrification is an integral part of its future.
