Mercedes-Benz EQS now with even more range
London, 11 April 2024, (Oilandgaspress): – Mercedes‑Benz has continuously developed the EQS and its siblings. Independent of model updates and faster than ever before, innovations have been incorporated into the series for the EQS, EQE, EQS SUV and EQE SUV. The company has responded to market and customer feedback more quickly than ever before with numerous product upgrades. For the current change year 2024, the EQS is now receiving an extremely extensive update package. The electric flagship comes with up to 82 kilometres more range, a new radiator cover with chrome applications and an upright Mercedes star on the front hood as well as even more comfort in the rear.
The EQS was already one of the electric cars with the longest range. In the future, customers will be able to cover even more kilometres without stopping to charge. Thanks to an increased battery capacity from 108.4 to 118 kWh, the maximum range of the EQS 450 4MATIC (energy consumption combined: 20.9 – 17.0 kWh/100 km | CO₂ emissions combined: 0 g/km | CO₂ class: A)[1], for example, increases from 717 to 799 kilometres. This means an increase in range of more than 11 percent. With a range of 683‑822 kilometres, the EQS 450+ (energy consumption combined: 19.9 – 16.3 kWh/100 km | CO₂ emissions combined: 0 g/km | CO₂ class: A)1 even exceeds the 800-kilometre mark.
Mercedes‑Benz has increased the towing capacity for the EQS and EQE sedans with 4MATIC from 750 to 1,700 kilograms. This means they reach a similar level to the SUV derivatives. For example, customers can now tow a horse trailer.
Another technical measure: Due to the high proportion of recuperation in daily operation, the brake discs are used less often than in combustion models. In the future, a special function will maintain the brake system by automatically applying the pads to the discs from time to time.
The new EQS can be ordered from April 25, 2024. Despite the upgraded standard equipment, the basic prices remain unchanged. Sales of the MANUFAKTUR Selection, a particularly high-quality special edition of the EQS sedan equipped with attention to detail, will also start on April 25, 2024 .
Avant-garde EQ look combined with the iconic Mercedes star: the new radiator cover
The distinguishing feature of the Mercedes‑EQ vehicles is the deep black radiator grille (black panel), which connects seamlessly with the headlights. The designers have now refined this independent face for the EQS: The electric flagship is equipped with a new radiator cover with chrome applications as standard in the Electric Art Line. Chrome-plated and flush-mounted slats create an elegant contrast to the deep black surroundings. This grille is combined with a standing star on the front hood and combines avant-garde EQ looks with the iconic, status-conscious Mercedes‑Benz symbol.
The sense of high-quality details is also reflected in the interior: the ventilation nozzles on the B-pillars now have a frame made of galvanised chrome. The additional cushion in the rear is enhanced by piping made of Nappa leather.
