Read about our time with the Mercedes-Benz EQS 450+ here.
“The stunning new EQS raises desire to a whole new level.”
A plentiful mix of technology and comfort culminate into an eye-pleasing vehicle with a myriad of tried and tested architecture that accentuates the luxurious nature synonymous with the Stuttgart-based firm. The firm Airmatic suspension system comes standard across the range. The chassis is underpinned by a multi-link rear setup coupled with a four-link front setup. Ola Källenius, chairman of the board of management for Mercedes, has confirmed that the SUV will be built in the US.
Built for the enjoyment and usability of family life or the hustle and bustle prominent within the lives of off-roaders and explorers, all the boxes have been ticked and all the markets have been catered for. Compared to the GLS, 82mm shorter and 105mm lower. The gigantic EV sits at around 5.1 metres in length and is 1.9 metres wide with a height of 1.7metres.
As a car bred to lead the way within the all-electric SUV market, it possesses a host of technological features that blend the action of driving with a new level of comfort. Offering a 195-litre luggage capacity, the EQS models will allow up to seven people to sit comfortably.
The SUV is fitted with a 12.3-inch digital cluster mated to a 12.8-inch portrait display. The front passenger will have a screen of their own. Mercedes claims that the abundance of screens and infotainment systems have been designed in a way so that they do not distract the driver.
The range also has the aid of a ride height adjuster that either lowers the car in comfort or sports mode or can raise the car. Driving dynamics such as the rear-wheel steering system could allow for a better driving feel and capability.
There has yet to be any confirmed pricing. It’s still unclear if and when South Africa will receive the EQS SUV.
