2023 Mercedes EQS SUV - Detailed Walkaround Of The ELECTRIC SUV
12The EQS SUV offers plenty of space, comfort and connectivity for up to seven vehicle occupants in its avant-garde, luxurious interior. Thanks to powerful electric motors, responsive 4MATIC all-wheel drive and an intelligent OFFROAD driving mode, this model is also capable of tackling light terrain with ease. At market launch, the model range comprises three variants: EQS 450 + (WLTP: combined electric energy consumption: 22.9-18.2 kWh/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 0 g/km)[1] and EQS 450 4MATIC (WLTP: combined electric energy consumption: 24.3-20.2 kWh/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 0 g/km)1 each with 265 kW output, and the EQS 580 4MATIC (WLTP: combined electric energy consumption: 24.3‑20.2 kWh/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 0 g/km)1 with 400 kW.
The new EQS SUV shares its long wheelbase (3,210 millimetres) with the EQS Saloon, but is more than 20 centimetres higher. The dimensions in detail: 5,125/1,959/1,718 millimetres (length/width[2]/height[3]). The interior dimensions benefit from these generous SUV dimensions and from the advantages of the purpose design tailored to the electric platform. The second row of seats can be electrically adjusted as standard. Up to four golf bags fit in the boot. A third row of seats with two additional individual seats and extensive comfort features for all passengers is available as an option.
The EQS Saloon is the current aerodynamics world champion for production cars[4]. Its purpose design, with a smooth underbody and mostly closed radiator shutters, provided a good starting basis for the very good Cd figure[5] of the EQS SUV, from 0.26. This is achieved despite the high load capacity and short rear overhang. Characteristic SUV flow details were optimised, which resulted in a unique combination of spaciousness and aerodynamic efficiency.
All EQS SUVs have an electric drive train (eATS) on the rear axle, and the versions with 4MATIC also have an eATS on the front axle. In the 4MATIC models, the Torque Shift function intelligently and continuously distributes the drive torque between the front and the rear electric motors. This also involves the use of the most efficient eATS in the particular instance. The electric motors on the front and rear axles are permanently excited synchronous motors (PSM). The advantages of this design include high power density, high efficiency and high power constancy.
The EQS Saloon was the first model series from Mercedes-Benz in which additional vehicle functions can be activated in several areas via over-the-air updates (OTA).With the EQS SUV, this offer is significantly expanded. For example, Trailer Manoeuvring Assist or MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) Augmented Reality Navigation can be activated at a later date.
With the EQS SUV, Mercedes-Benz is taking a major step towards fully electric mobility and is moving a step closer to fulfilling Ambition 2039. The model is produced in a CO2-neutral way. The EQS SUV sees real solutions for fully electric mobility, intelligent resource conservation and a responsible circular economy actually put on the road.
The chassis of the new 2023 Mercedes EQS SUV 580 Test has a four-link axle at the front and a multi-link suspension at the rear. The AIRMATIC air suspension with continuously adjustable damping ADS+ is standard equipment. The vehicle level can be raised by several centimetres. In addition to the DYNAMIC SELECT modes ECO, COMFORT, SPORT and INDIVIDUAL, the 4MATIC versions feature OFFROAD, a further mode specifically for off-road driving. Furthermore, rear-axle steering with a steering angle of up to 4.5 degrees is standard. It provides plenty of manoeuvrability in the city and agility over land. Optionally and also via an OTA update, a version with up to 10 degrees steering angle is available.
