If abb, one of the three luxury brands in Germany, wants to choose one model as its representative, it will definitely choose three series, A6, and S-class without hesitation. For decades since its birth, Mercedes Benz S-class models have been very dominant in its market segments, and even become the standard match for politicians and tycoons in various countries. To some extent, it is the strong performance of S-class that has created the current brand and status of Mercedes Benz. Now the automobile industry is facing transformation. In the coming era of electrification, if Mercedes Benz continues to write the legend of S-class? On, we saw the answer of Mercedes Benz: vision EQS concept car. Mercedes Benz vision EQS concept car first appeared at Frankfurt auto show in September this year, while Guangzhou auto show is its first appearance in China. Vision EQS concept car reveals Mercedes Benz's understanding of pure electric flagship model. Mercedes Benz has made rapid transformation to electrification. Since the birth of EQ sub brand in 2016, Mercedes Benz has launched a series of concept cars. However, due to the immature market of luxury pure electric vehicles, only EQC model has been put on the market so far. Now the concept vehicle of EQs, the flagship model of EQ brand, has been officially released, and its product line will be expanded soon. As a concept car, Mercedes Benz vision EQS presents a full sense of the future, just like the props in science fiction movies. The lines of the whole car are smooth, the modeling is very simple, and there are not too many complex profiles. The whole vehicle is divided into two parts by a blue light belt around the body, the upper part is black and the lower part is silver. This bold design is not only the continuation of EQ series design language (EQ series concept cars adopt the color of silver body + black hood), but also the approach to the classic two-color body of Maybach model, which has highlighted its luxury temperament. The black closed grille is the unified design language of EQ series, but there is a mystery in its interior. Inside the front grille, there are 940 LED light sources, each of which constitutes a shining Trident star. There are 188 small LED Trident stars around the big logo of the Trident star in the center. The headlight of vision EQS concept car we see is actually projected. The real lighting component is the digital light intelligent digital headlight at the rear. It can project various patterns on the ground, so as to realize the interaction with the environment. Coming to the side, the vision EQS concept car has replaced the traditional rear-view mirror with a camera as expected, and the traditional door handle has disappeared. At the same time, its front and rear suspension are much shorter than the current mainstream models, which conforms to the characteristics of pure electric special platform. The rear part of vision EQS concept car is round and full, with 229 red Trident stars distributed on it. These little Trident stars also have LEDs inside, which together form the tail lights of the vision EQS concept car. The vision EQS concept car uses a slightly exaggerated 24 inch wheel rim, which has a very special style. Its dense spokes and central locking fastening method make it attract enough attention. The design of vision EQS concept car is subversive. Is it looking forward to your expectation of flagship? Whether you like the appearance of Mercedes Benz or not, it is undeniable that its current interior design is at least one gear higher than that of any competitor. What about the interior of vision EQS concept car? On the interior design sketch of vision EQS concept car, we can see the image of some jellyfish. Designers want to give the interior space of vision EQS concept car a similar feeling of jellyfish floating and soft. The interior design of vision EQS concept car is inspired by yacht. Decorated with parallel stripes, the smooth dashboard is like the deck of a yacht, and they are suspended in the air. In the design sketch of the seat, the image of conch appears. It seems that the designers of Mercedes Benz have fully applied Bionics in the vision EQS concept car. The vision EQS concept car does not use leather, which is extremely rare in Mercedes Benz's flagship model. In order to realize the vision of sustainable development, Mercedes Benz replaced leather and plastic with various environmentally-friendly and recyclable fibers and artificial leather. The concept car has always been a waste of space. The vision EQS concept car is no exception. Only four seats are provided in the huge body. Each passenger has a dedicated screen and a supporting mbux intelligent human-computer interaction system. In terms of power, the power system of vision EQS concept car can output a maximum power of 350kW (476ps) and a maximum torque of 760nm. The maximum speed is more than 200km / h, and the acceleration time of 0-100km / h is 4.5s. In terms of endurance, vision EQS concept car has a endurance mileage of 700km under wltp condition. If we adopt the NEDC working condition that we usually use, its endurance mileage is expected to exceed 900km. The power of vision EQS concept car can be up to 350kW at most, and the power can be charged from 0 to 80% in less than 20 minutes. S-class is the foundation of Mercedes Benz. Its importance is self-evident. In the process of transformation to electrification, Mercedes Benz has made a bold attempt on the vision EQS concept car, injecting more sense of technology into Mercedes Benz's pure electric flagship. Will it be the future of luxury cars? Let's wait and see.
