Mercedes is not confused and calls the EQS "the best electric car in the world" just like that and not once or twice.

For them, beyond the usual marketing mantras, this is a statement that is not entirely detached from reality, when it comes to luxury cars and the title of "best in the world", this manufacturer has for decades had a founding stock in this institution with a car called Mercedes S-Class.

How much will you be able to break boundaries and establish facts on the ground in the field of electricity as well?

That's her challenge.

More on Walla!

The most powerful AMG ever is semi-electric at all!

So when it comes to determining facts on the ground, she already has one thing in mind - she's the first to introduce a fully electric luxury car.

But not only a luxury car in front of the competition, but also at home, is the first to make use of a dedicated electric platform and not be based on existing models as in the case of EQA and EQC.

This car will be one of seven fully electric models that this manufacturer will put in place during 2022, the fastest among the luxury manufacturers and in general present a supply with an electric alternative to almost every major model of its.

Since the current offering will soon be joined by cars like the EQE (equivalent to the E-Class) and a SUV similar in size to the GLE, it will feature the EQB, an electric version of the GLB with seven seats and a super SUV equivalent to the giant GLS, too It is electric and will be a kind of elevated version of EQS.

These four models join the three trams currently on offer.

The EQS will be marketed in two propulsion versions, the 450+ and the 580, both of which use huge 107.8 kWh batteries. The 450 has a single electric motor that drives the rear wheels and a power of 333 hp. Acceleration to 100 km / h takes 6.2 seconds and will continue at a limited speed of 210 km / h. He stated range of 700 km, the longest car currently marketed in Israel and one of the longest in serial cars. A significant part of this capacity, he explained Mercedes exterior design with a drag coefficient that can reach amazing statistic -0.20 cd serial car.

The second version of the -580 adds Another engine for dual propulsion and the power is 523 hp. Acceleration is shortened to 4.3 seconds, the maximum speed here too 210 km / h. Part of the price it pays for this extra (which is also expressed in weight) is the shortening of the range to 627 km, still a respectable number and above a real need for one charge.

It will allow fast charging of up to 200 kilowatts at a fast DC position and 11 kilowatts at an AC position and an option to increase up to 22 kilowatts.

The two versions also differ in their level of finish.

The list is long, exaggerated, unfounded and quite dizzying.

We will start with some of the equipment they have in common: adaptive dampers that not only alleviate the road ailments, but also know how to tilt the car in the opposite direction of the turn to keep it balanced and also raise the car in an accident detection to protect passengers.

Rims 21 inches, hidden door handles, wooden revetments, electric seats, padded else, heated and ventilated massage, above the rear seats (except massage). Incidentally, in the back, you can control a variety of functions of the car using a tablet, or voice commands.

What Another? 8 USB sockets and two wireless charging pads, reverse steering at slow and parallel speeds at high speeds up to the front lighting with 1.3 million pixels.

In the differences between the versions you will find, among other things, one of the flagship components of the EQS - the hyper screen, which is actually not one screen, but an array of three screens - one for the 12.3-inch dashboard, 17.7-inch main screen and a third screen in front of the passenger. 12.3 inches.

All of these are under a huge 1.4-meter glass panel that stretches almost from side to side in the cabin.

In the 450 version, this system is offered as an option only.

The driving assistance systems here consist of, among other things, 12 peripheral sensors, 4 side cameras, a front camera, 4 short-range radars, a ladder, a long-range radar, a rear camera and even a humidity sensor that updates the car systems that the road is wet.

All of these are supposed to allow the car to drive in a kind of autonomous level in defined places and under the supervision of the driver (more or less equivalent to grade 3 out of 5 on the autonomous scale).

There is no front trunk, but the rear opens with the fifth door with a volume of 610 liters (Photo: Manufacturer's website)

EQS prices start at NIS 890,000 for the 450+ version, a price that should also be competitive, especially with the personal and parallel import alternative, the importer hopes.

This is a lower price than the S-Class currently marketed and starts at NIS 990,000.

The price of the 580 has risen to over NIS 1 million and stands at NIS 1,290,000, more or less equivalent to the price of the S500 (which costs NIS 1,250,000).

In the near future, in fact already in January (then the cars themselves also arrive here, so at least the importer hopes), the price of the senior version currently on offer will also be announced - the EQD53AMG which will offer 630 hp, 3.5 seconds per 100 and a range of 590 km .

Okay, so let's start saving.
