The new Mercedes-Benz EQS - at a glance

Depending on the size of the battery and the vehicle equipment and configuration, WLTP ranges of up to 780 kilometers are possible. The way to the aerodynamics world record of the EQS required several 1,000 calculation runs in the virtual wind tunnel with approx. 700 CPUs per calculation. With a drag coefficient of just 0.20, the EQS is the most aerodynamic production car in the world. The frontal area of ​​the EQS is 2.51 m2. This results in an effective air resistance from 0.5 m². The torque of the eATS delivered to the wheels is checked 10,000 times per minute and adjusted if necessary. This means that the versions with 4MATIC can react much more quickly than with a mechanical all-wheel drive. The modular drive concept enables a wide range of maximum total drive powers from 245 to 385 kW. A performance version with up to 560 kW is planned. From the maximum deceleration of 5 m/s² in the DAuto recuperation program, up to 3 m/s² are achieved through recuperation (2 m/s² by the wheel brakes). This makes it possible to decelerate to a standstill without using the brake pedal, while at the same time the range benefits from this recuperation strategy and the high recuperation output (up to 290 kW). On request, the EQS has four automatic comfort doors. The driver can use MBUX to open the rear doors remotely and, for example, let children get in at school
