Its A Battle Between Mercedes EQS And Tesla In Electric Luxury Sedans Cars

Inside, the concept takes its inspiration from the world of luxury yachts, which is why the entire dashboard can be seen blending with the body of the front trim section, while the entire cockpit looks to envelop its occupants like the deck of a boat – this type of design philosophy will also make it inside future Mercedes-Benz luxury saloons.

In terms of materials, the show car comes with high-quality crystal white DINAMICA microfiber, used alongside native figured maple trim made from recycled PET bottles. Artificial leather is also present, featuring a finely structured surface that’s said to be similar to nappa leather. Meanwhile, the roof lining is comprised of a high-quality textile created from recycled “ocean waste” plastic.

Then there’s the onboard tech – specifically, the advanced MBUX system. Inside the Vision EQS, digital content can be experienced by immersing yourself within the entire surface of the cockpit. Organically emerging displays and projection surfaces provide you with plenty of viewing spaces, as does the intelligent CONNECTED LIGHT that shines around the occupants.

Performance

The Vision EQS Concept comes with electric motors both at the front and the rear, which together with its floor-integrated battery help create an electric all-wheel-drive system with axle-variable torque distribution. The vehicle’s system output is somewhere north of 350 kW (476 PS / 470 HP), to go with around 760 Nm (560 lb-ft) of instant torque. It’s enough so as to propel the concept from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) in less than 4.5 seconds and onto a top speed of more than 200 km/h (124 mph).

Straight-line performance aside, the Vision EQS also boats an operating range of up to 700 km (435 miles) by WLTP standards. The show car will also recharge its battery to 80% in “considerably less than 20 minutes” – assuming you’re using a 350 kW charger.

“With the Vision EQS technology platform, Mercedes-Benz is opting for a completely new, fully-variable battery-electric drive platform. This is in many respects scalable and usable on a cross-model basis: thanks to the modern modular system, the wheelbase and track, as well as all other system components, and especially the battery, are variable and therefore suitable for a wide range of different vehicle concepts,” stated the automaker.
