The new Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV - The noise comfort - SUV with particularly quiet rear

The new luxury SUV builds on the excellent noise and vibration comfort of the EQS SUV from Mercedes-Benz. This includes the encapsulation of the electric powertrain at the front and rear, the innovative support frame on the front axle and the drive units that are doubly decoupled via rubber mounts. The special acoustic foams in selected body-in-white profiles and the ramps in the underbody panelling have also been adopted and effectively reduce noise in the interior. The even more extensive NVH measures (noise, vibration, harshness) in the Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV are aimed primarily at the rear. For example, the trunk cover upholstered in ARTICO imitation leather is a cross bulkhead that is resistant to bodywork, just like in a sedan. It starts at the upper edge of the rear seat backrest and seals off the trunk up to the lower edge of the rear window. This results in very effective noise suppression. The new disconnect unit (DCU) also contributes to this. Depending on the driving situation and the power demanded, it automatically disconnects the electric motor on the front axle to increase the range. At low load, the DCU switches to 4x2 driving mode. The electric motor and the transmission on the front axle then stand still.
