Its A Battle Between Mercedes EQS And Tesla In Electric Luxury Sedans Cars
The battle line has been drawn between Tesla and Mercedes Benz.
The Vision EQS is also fully electric, featuring a 100 kWh battery and a total output of approximately 350 kW (476 PS / 470 HP). On paper, it can accelerate to 100 km/h (62 mph) in less than 4.5 seconds, will max out somewhere above 200 km/h (124 mph), and features a range of up to 700 km (435 miles).
Progressive luxury
Daimler went with a flowing yet powerful sculpted exterior, with a continuous “light belt” structure that makes the overall design appear seamless. The German automaker calls the Vision EQS “sensuously elegant and dramatically charged,” and regardless of what we may think of its appearance, it is certainly one of the most interesting-looking vehicles at this year’s Frankfurt Motor Show.
Exterior features include the Digital Light headlights, each boasting two holographic lens modules, integrated into the previously-mentioned lightbelt – this allows for an almost unlimited number of light variations that preview what future Mercedes models will be like in terms of light configurations.
The rear end is particularly innovative with 229 illuminated individual stars, while the front grille houses a light matrix consisting of 188 individual LEDs, able to create a three-dimensional effect.
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.
