What is the competitiveness of million luxury cars and new EQS pure electric SUVs in the new energy era?

Excellent innovative products never lack early adopters. When the automobile enters the new energy era, the new forces have gained a lot, and the traditional luxury car brand BBA is not to be outdone.

Millions of luxury cars are everyone's dream, and there is persistence and innovation behind luxury, just like Mercedes-Benz, which has gone through a hundred years, has never stopped exploring the future, and so has it in the face of new energy.

After the launch of pure electric EQS for large luxury cars, a brand-new EQS pure electric SUV was quickly launched. Compared with Volkswagen's million-level pure electric SUV, what are the unimaginable places of Mercedes-Benz's new EQS pure electric SUV?

The length of the car is more than 5. 1 and the wheelbase is more than 3.2, but the big body and large space are still exquisite.

The new EQS pure electric SUV is built on the pure electric platform of Mercedes-Benz EVA, positioning high-end. The listed models include pure electric EQS and pure electric EQE. As the first large-scale luxury pure electric SUV, the exterior design continues the bow-shaped body design.

Although the body size is large, it is not bloated from the side, but very delicate. Because in the process of new car design, after numerous calculations in the virtual wind tunnel, including the hub, tires, A-pillar and front and rear spoiler, a lot of optimization has been made according to aerodynamics, forming a scientific streamline modeling, and the drag coefficient is as low as 0.26Cd.

The front face of the night star array enclosed grille, with a total size of 56 inches, has a luminous star emblem. When the car door is opened, the welcome light is turned on immediately. Are these details very ceremonial?

At the same time, the intelligent digital headlights of meteor shower are also standard, with two sets of headlights with pixels as high as 2.6 million (single set of headlights10.3 million pixels), electro-optical blue light emitting modules composed of three-dimensional hexagonal matrices on the side, and running lights during the day. The penetrating 3D spiral taillights inspired by filaments at the tail look cool.

When Bian Xiao, who is over 180cm tall, gets into the car and sits in the driver's seat, there is plenty of room in both the head and legs, and the overall comfort brought to him has to be impressive, even though he has seen countless cars.

Our photographer sits in the second row, and he feels the word "comfortable" more deeply. His height is similar to that of Bian Xiao, and his figure is relatively fat, but he can not only cross his legs, but also play "Ge You Lie", which has firmly passed the boss's addiction this time.

The new EQS pure electric SUV has five seats and seven seats to choose from. A family of three or four suggests choosing five. If it is a big family user, of course, seven seats are more suitable.

We test-drive the 7-seat version this time, so we put food, drink and some small things in the third row, and this car is specially equipped with an EASY-ENTRY convenient access system to facilitate the passage from the second row to the third row. This intimate design solves a major pain point of the 7-seat model and is very practical.

In fact, you don't have to worry about the loading capacity that everyone cares about. Our shooting this time, all kinds of photographic equipment and auxiliary materials, together, are not small, but the third row has not been put down, so it is easy to deal with.

Of course, for big families or go on road trip fans, it is generally necessary to bring more things when going out, and there will inevitably be some big things, such as camping tents, baby carriages, snowboards, golf bags and so on. This kind of moving and lying stroke requires a higher loading capacity of the car.

However, considering that both the second row of the five-seat version and the third row of the seven-seat version of the new EQS pure electric SUV can be flexibly laid down, the upper limit of loading space is very high.

According to our actual experience of seven-seat vehicles, if the third exhaust is reversed, four standard golf bags can be loaded. If it's a five-seat version, it's okay for two people to go camping once.

I believe that people who have experienced long-distance travel have experienced the boredom of taking the bus for too long, so they can only brush their mobile phones to pass the time or force themselves to take a nap.

However, during the test drive of our brand-new EQS pure electric SUV, the colleagues sitting in the back row had a good time, because this car was intimately equipped with the high-end rear entertainment system of MBUX behind the second row, and there was a tablet computer on the central armrest in the back row, lying down watching movies or listening to music, plus Burmester? Voice of Berlin surround sound system, ultra-quiet NVH performance makes the journey like at home.

Electrification and intelligence are "twin brothers", and large screen is an important carrier of intelligence. The new EQS pure electric SUV actively embraces the trend of "big screen" in interior design and plays a great role.

Not only the back row, but also the front row. The new EQS pure electric SUV comes standard with 12.3-inch instrument display, 17.7-inch center display and 12.3-inch co-pilot display, forming an exaggerated triple screen with a width of 1.4 1 m..

Nowadays, the deep integration of automobile and high technology has always been a small series in the front line of automobile circle, which I have a deep understanding of. The most iconic point is the popularity of big screens. In fact, it's not just for looking good, but it does increase convenience and playability.

In the deep contact with the new EQS pure electric SUV, Bian Xiao was deeply impressed by the latest generation of MBUX intelligent human-computer interaction system of Mercedes-Benz, and the larger and more advanced screen provided hardware guarantee.

During the test drive, Bian Xiao will naturally not miss the opportunity of in-depth communication with the automobile system. Basic operations, such as turning on the air conditioner, playing "Lonely Hero" and navigating to Badaling Great Wall ... Voice control is nothing for a million-class luxury pure electric SUV. What is impressive is the zero-level interface, which keeps various functions on the desktop all the time, and manual control is also very convenient. The silky touch of the big screen is very close to that of the mobile phone, and the experience is excellent.

Colleagues sitting in the co-pilot position are naturally not idle. Just like the photographer sitting in the back row, through the special co-pilot display screen, he can brush and watch Tik Tok when he has nothing to do, and the time passes easily and happily.

There are also some small features that impressed Bian Xiao very much. For example, the head-up display system of real-life crossing. When driving at high speed, if you look down at the dashboard, you will be distracted, which is also an unsafe factor. Through the above functions, the new EQS pure electric SUV projects various auxiliary information such as current vehicle speed and speed limit sign to the front of the vehicle, and the information is clear at a glance, which is equivalent to adding a 77-inch super-large virtual display screen, which improves the safety.

In short, in terms of intelligent interconnection, the new EQS pure electric SUV is no different from the luxury cars of the first-line new forces, and it also has its own characteristics. In the interior style, I still retain my understanding of luxury, almost all the positions are wrapped in leather, and the stitching and wiring are also very elegant. The exclusive aluminum star emblem brown magnolia decorative board has become a new focus, which is composed of magnolia wood and aluminum plate, and the Mercedes-Benz star emblem also appears in the right place at the right time. As a century-old luxury car brand, the materials and workmanship are still meticulous, which is the basic plate of Mercedes-Benz.

Air suspension+adaptive shock absorption, playing cross-country is also a good hand.

As a pure electric vehicle, battery is the key. The new EQS pure electric SUV is equipped with a battery pack, with a total power of11.8kwh, a power consumption of 100km as low as 16.2kWh, and a maximum CLTC comprehensive working condition of 742km..

Equipped with front and rear permanent magnet synchronous dual motors, it can bring the maximum power of 265kW and the maximum torque of 800N·m ... And because of the maximum 10 degree rear wheel active steering system, this car is still very flexible. Even if Bian Xiao drove it into a residential area in Beijing, he didn't feel any inconvenience, but walked around leisurely.

On the chassis, the new EQS pure electric SUV also has many black technologies, such as air suspension with continuously adjustable damping and ADS+, which can independently adjust the damping characteristics of each wheel, so that the vehicle has a more calm posture in various road conditions, allowing drivers and passengers to avoid bumps in different road conditions and obtain a more comfortable state.

Among them, the most noteworthy is the off-road mode. In the test drive, we specially found an unpaved road to try. The chassis of the new EQS pure electric SUV is relatively high, and the minimum ground clearance reaches 1.84mm, which is no problem for general urban road teeth. In off-road mode, with the help of AIRMATIC air suspension system, the height of the car body can be further increased by 25mm to 209mm, so we can handle it freely on unpaved roads in the suburbs, and ordinary potholes can easily pass. Therefore, although the new EQS pure electric SUV is not a professional off-road vehicle, it can still cope as long as it is not a very extreme road condition.

Not only through sex, but also through comfort. Intelligent and timely four-wheel drive system 4MATIC can independently adjust the damping of each wheel, so that the body posture is very stable under various road conditions. For our drivers and passengers, the intuitive experience is that we can not only run bad roads, but also experience a relatively smooth and bumpy feeling, so that we can experience the excitement of off-road without so much effort.

More importantly, the new EQS pure electric SUV also comes standard with enhanced L2 driver assistance components, including intelligent adjustment of cruise speed, intelligent steering, active blind spot assistance system, active lane keeping assistance system, etc., plus the integrated anti-collision structure frame set around the battery pack, the PRE-SAFE preventive safety system and multi-level protection of high-voltage system as standard in the whole system, adding multiple protective walls for travel safety.

abstract

No matter how the times change and technology advances, the position of Mercedes-Benz brand in people's minds is gradually deepening. An important feature of the word "luxury" is that you can throw away all the shackles of the past and embrace the new era. In the face of the great changes in electrification and intelligence, the new EQS pure electric SUV launched by Mercedes-Benz is a boutique under this luxury concept, and I believe it will still be one of the protagonists in the million-class luxury car market.
