2024 Beijing Auto Show: New Mercedes Benz EQS Debuts

The new Mercedes Benz EQS made its debut at the 2024 Beijing Auto Show. The new car has eliminated the “full star” front face that distinguishes it from the Mercedes Benz fuel car and has changed to a more traditional grille shape and Mercedes Benz logo. This change is well received by consumers, making EQS more Mercedes Benz, and it is easy to see its luxury car identity at a glance.

In terms of appearance, the front face part has restored the classic three-horizontal and one-vertical grille of the fuel car S-Class, and the interior also integrates sensors such as radar and cameras to provide hardware support for high-level smart driving. However, it is worth noting that the entire front face is still a closed shape. The front light group maintains the original shape, and the front surround part is a three-section hollow design in the AMG style, making the entire car head more sporty.

The sides and rear of the car have not changed significantly. It  is still a symmetrical streamlined design, retains the hidden door handles and frameless doors that can be electrically opened and closed, and the short front overhang and long wheelbase body proportions reflect the space advantages of electric cars. It is worth mentioning that the new car has been fitted with a brand new style of 21-inch multibar silver wheels, which have a different visual effect. In terms of body size, the length, width, and height of the new Mercedes Benz EQS are 5216/1926/1512mm, and the wheelbase is 3210mm.

The central control is a whole Hyperscreen curved screen that perfectly penetrates the entire central control and extends from the left A-pillar to the right A-pillar (the length is 141cm, and the experience area is 2,432.11 square centimeters). At the same time, in addition to the large size, it seamlessly integrates the originally separate layout of the LCD instrument, the central control screen, the co-driver entertainment screen (new), and the air conditioning vent, realizing unprecedented design aesthetics.

In terms of power, the new Mercedes Benz EQS 580 4MATIC is equipped with a dual motor four-wheel drive system, with a maximum power of 380kW and a maximum torque of 850N·m. The battery capacity has been upgraded to 118kWh, but the specific range has not been announced. For reference, the old Mercedes Benz EQS 580 model comes with a 111.8kWh battery pack with a CLTC working range of 720 kilometers.
