The Mercedes-Benz Vision EQS is based on a new platform, known internally as MEA, which uses high-strength steel, aluminum, and composite materials. Subsequently, this chassis will become the basis for an even more luxurious electric Maybach, designed to compete with Rolls-Royce.
The Mercedes-Benz Vision EQS is powered by two electric motors located on the front and rear axles. In total, the units produce 477 hp and 760 Nm of torque. The electric car can accelerate from standstill to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds, and its top speed is 200 km/h.
Thanks to the torque vectoring control system, the motor torque is transmitted individually to each wheel, providing "unprecedented road grip and handling." In addition, the concept features a special adaptive air suspension and an active body roll suppression system.
The 100 kWh battery pack allows a range of over 700 kilometers on a single charge — 200 km more than the EQC crossover. Using a special fast charging system at 350 kW, the battery can be replenished from zero to 80% in just 20 minutes.
As for the exterior, its distinctive features are special retractable panels on the front and rear of the body, consisting of 188 and 229 individual LEDs. In total, about a thousand individual LED elements were used in the exterior and interior design of the new model.
When developing the interior space, designers drew inspiration from the decor of luxury yachts. In addition, the electric car received an innovative infotainment system that gives an idea of the next-generation MBUX system. Finally, many elements of the car are made from recycled materials, including plastic bottles and plastic recovered from the ocean.
