A refreshed Mercedes EQS sedan will be available later this year with a larger battery and longer range, but no price increase.
When is a car not a car? When it is a Mercedes — one of the most well-known brands in the world. Mercedes is more than a car; it is a symbol that suggests those inside are deserving of special recognition for their refinement, discernment, and abundance of disposable income.with a lower price than the S Class sedan and about 430 miles of range . Typically, cars have a 7-year design cycle, which means the EQS is due for its second generation introduction in about 4 years.
More important by far is the addition of the traditional Mercedes three-pointed star mounted prominently on the hood. That may seem a bit of foolishness to some, but we know of people who traded a Mercedes for a BMW, Audi, or Lexus who later switched back to a Mercedes just because seeing that star on the hood made them feel they were driving something special — and let others know it as well.The most prominent upgrade is an increase in the size of the battery from 108 kWh to 118 kWh.
A battery upgrade is not the only thing responsible for the extended range estimates. All version of the EQS now use a heat pump system that is more efficient and scavenges heat from the drivetrain and traction battery. In addition, the front motor on dual motor models can be disconnected when not in use to eke out a little more efficiency. Finally, the level of regenerative braking has been doubled from 1.5/m per second to 3/m per second.
Meanwhile, both the EQS and EQE sedans will have their towing capacity increased from 750 to 1700 kg , bringing them in line with their SUV siblings. Mercedes has also upgraded the Automatic Lane Change Level 2 driver assistance feature, although this will only work on certain highways. The last bit of good news is that prices for the EQS will remain the same despite the improvements.
