Mercedes acaba de presentar el EQS, su primer modelo basado en la plataforma el\u00e9ctrica EVA propia de Daimler. En su lanzamiento al mercado, habr\u00e1 dos variantes del coche el\u00e9ctrico de lujo construido en Sindelfingen, Alemania. Daimler a\u00fan no ha anunciado los precios.<\/p>\n

++ Este art\u00edculo ha sido actualizado. Por favor, contin\u00fae leyendo a continuaci\u00f3n. ++<\/em><\/p>\n

A lo largo de las \u00faltimas semanas, Mercedes ha ido revelando peque\u00f1os datos sobre el EQS, el primeras im\u00e1genes del interior<\/a>, el inicio del montaje de bater\u00edas en Hedelfingen y, la semana pasada, los primeros datos t\u00e9cnicos<\/a> como la m\u00e1xima autonom\u00eda WLTP posible de 770 kil\u00f3metros.<\/p>\n

Mercedes tambi\u00e9n ha revelado hace tiempo que habr\u00e1 dos variantes del EQS: El EQS 450+ y el EQS 580 4MATIC. El primero es un modelo de 245 kW con tracci\u00f3n trasera y la misma autonom\u00eda de 770 kil\u00f3metros. Para el EQS 580 4MATIC -con tracci\u00f3n total y un motor el\u00e9ctrico por eje- se mencion\u00f3 una potencia de 385 kW, pero no la autonom\u00eda.<\/p>\n

Daimler no ha mencionado este valor en el anuncio del estreno mundial. Un portavoz de Mercedes dijo a nuestro colega Sebastian Schaal de nuestra publicaci\u00f3n alemana electrive.net<\/em> que la gama del EQS 580 4MATIC se anunciar\u00e1 tras la homologaci\u00f3n definitiva. Hasta entonces, tendremos que conformarnos con los datos provisionales de consumo. El consumo WLTP de este modelo se sit\u00faa entre 17,4 y 21,8 kWh\/100 km, dependiendo del equipamiento, mientras que el del EQS 450+ es de 15,7 - 20,4 kWh\/100 km. El consumo de serie y el tama\u00f1o de la bater\u00eda de 107,8 kWh netos no indican directamente la autonom\u00eda WLTP: Las p\u00e9rdidas de carga se incluyen en el consumo est\u00e1ndar, pero no en la autonom\u00eda.<\/p>\n

El EQS 450+ tiene una potencia m\u00e1xima de recuperaci\u00f3n de 186 kW, mientras que el modelo con tracci\u00f3n total puede recuperar hasta 290 kW. Dependiendo de la variante, Mercedes ofrece dos tama\u00f1os de bater\u00eda (400 voltios) con 90 o 107,8 kWh de contenido de energ\u00eda utilizable: una tiene diez y la otra doce m\u00f3dulos. La diferencia no radica \u00fanicamente en el n\u00famero de m\u00f3dulos: En la bater\u00eda grande, las c\u00e9lulas proceden de CATL, las c\u00e9lulas de la bater\u00eda m\u00e1s peque\u00f1a proceden de Farasis.<\/p>\n

Daimler a\u00fan no ha hecho p\u00fablicos los datos t\u00e9cnicos del EQS con la bater\u00eda de 90 kWh. Cuando se le pregunt\u00f3, Christoph Starzynski, responsable de Mercedes-EQ, explic\u00f3 que eligieron deliberadamente la bater\u00eda grande y la autonom\u00eda m\u00e1xima desde el principio. \"S\u00f3lo estamos al principio con la nueva plataforma\", afirma Starzynski. \"La versi\u00f3n de 90 kWh se anunciar\u00e1 para algunos mercados hacia finales de a\u00f1o\".<\/p>\n

Hace tiempo que se especula con una versi\u00f3n AMG del EQS. En el transcurso del estreno, Daimler confirm\u00f3 que hay planes en marcha para una versi\u00f3n de altas prestaciones con 560 kW (es decir, 761 CV). El fabricante alem\u00e1n a\u00fan no ha revelado si se lanzar\u00e1 bajo la etiqueta AMG u otra denominaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

El contenido de cobalto en las celdas de la bater\u00eda se ha reducido al diez por ciento, el material activo optimizado consiste en n\u00edquel, cobalto y manganeso en una proporci\u00f3n de 8:1:1. Mediante actualizaciones por aire, Daimler quiere mantener al d\u00eda el software de gesti\u00f3n de la bater\u00eda desarrollado internamente durante toda su vida \u00fatil. La bater\u00eda tambi\u00e9n puede precalentarse o enfriarse durante la conducci\u00f3n para mantenerla a una temperatura \u00f3ptima.<\/p>\n

Como opci\u00f3n adicional, se ofrecer\u00e1 un cargador a bordo de hasta 22 kW de potencia de carga en corriente alterna. La capacidad de carga de f\u00e1brica es de 11 kW. Mercedes-Benz sit\u00faa la potencia m\u00e1xima de CC en las estaciones de carga r\u00e1pida en hasta 200 kW, y deber\u00eda ser posible recargar la bater\u00eda hasta 300 kil\u00f3metros WLTP en 15 minutos (280 kil\u00f3metros para el EQS 580 4MATIC). Se dice que la carga hasta el 80% tarda 31 minutos.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

When it comes to charging, the EQ boss does not see the fact that the “electric flagship” EQS still relies on a 400-volt platform, while Hyundai-Kia brings 800-volt technology to the 40,000-euro segment. “We keep this plateau of 200 kW extremely long. We have great charging performance with 400 volts,” Starzynski says when asked by our colleague at electrive.net<\/em>. “Since some markets also work with 400 volts as a priority, we decided on this at the market launch – from our point of view without sacrificing charging time.” He did add, however, that there was flexibility in the question of whether the 400 volts remains over the lifecycle.<\/p>\n

The EQS also supports Plug & Charge. For European customers of the EQS, Mercedes still offers the ‘Ionity Unlimited’ package. This allows free charging at Ionity, which is a step up from the merely discounted prices with the EQC.<\/p>\n

Another new feature of the EQS is navigation with ‘Electric Intelligence’. The route calculation including charging stops is familiar. A new feature of the EQS is a visualisation in the MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) infotainment system showing whether the available battery capacity is sufficient to return to the starting point without charging. Here, manually added charging stations along the route are given preference in the route calculation, while charging stations can be excluded. Drivers are also given a predictive calculation of the charging costs per charging stop.<\/p>\n

More steering angle via software<\/h3>\n

With the EQS, Mercedes is not only introducing OTA updates, but also allows drivers to unlock ‘Functions on Demand’. According to Mercedes, when the EQS is launched to market, there will be two special driving programmes for young drivers and service personnel, along with small games and the demo programme called ‘The Best or Nothing’. It should also be possible to unlock the rear-axle steering with the larger steering angle of 10 degrees \u2013 the EQS has rear-axle steering ex-works, but this is limited to 4.5 degrees. With the 10 degrees, a turning circle of 10.9 metres should be possible, which is not bad for a car that is over five metres long. In addition to a classic purchase of individual functions, subscriptions, temporary activations and free test phases are also in planning.<\/p>\n

Daimler has, of course, also revealed the series design of the EQS with its world premiere. When taking a look at the study shown in 2019, it becomes clear that the production car has adopted numerous design elements and, above all, the basic proportions with the very long wheelbase and the curved lines. With the premiere of the series vehicle, this is now slightly different: the headlights on the production EQS are somewhat more conventional, and the special rear lights in the Mercedes star design of the study have not made it into the series version. When viewed from the side, however, the EQS is very close to the original concept car.<\/p>\n

The production model is 5.22 metres long. Here the US version differs slightly with the larger vehicles preferred in North America that has a length of 5.26 metres, (17,26 feet), is 1.93 metres wide (6.33 feet) and 1.51 metres high (4,95 feet). As reported, the cW value is 0.20, which according to Daimler, makes the EQS the most aerodynamic production car in the world. The EQS has conventional exterior mirrors. As the head of Mercedes-EQ Christoph Starzynski explains, that although this has disadvantages in terms of aerodynamics, he says that an exterior camera is apparently not worthwhile because of the additional energy consumption caused by external cameras.<\/p>\n

The road-ready weight is 2.48 tonnes (450+) or 2.58 tonnes (580 4MATIC). The payload is up to 550 kilograms. The boot has a capacity of 610 litres. This increases to 1,770 litres when the back seats are folded down. The EQS does not have a frunk under the front bonnet simply because a HEPA filter is installed there. “Since we were able to achieve 99.96 per cent purified air in the interior, the HEPA filter has to be of a certain size,” says Starzynski.<\/p>\n

EQS supports Automated Valet Parking<\/h3>\n

Depending on the equipment, the EQS has up to 350 sensors, some of which are installed behind the black panel at the front. The environment sensor technology is also supposed to enable a remote parking assistant, with which the driver can park or unpark the car via smartphone. With the pre-equipment for the ‘Intelligent Park Pilot’, the EQS is prepared for Automated Valet Parking (AVP, SAE level 4). With the ‘Drive Pilot’, the EQS can drive on motorways at speeds of up to 60 km\/h in a highly automated manner, here, not surprisingly, the laws in Germany (and the rest of the world) do not currently allow for more.<\/p>\n

Daimler again highlights the 1.41-metre wide hyper screen in the interior. However, initial tests by journalists and bloggers gave mixed feedback on this front. Some of the graphics were said to be pixelated and not optimised for touchscreen operation, and some animations were described as jerky. It is not clear whether this is due to the software status of the pre-production vehicles or whether this is how it will be in series production. In addition, there was a stir about a tablet installed in the storage compartment between the rear seats. According to reports, it is a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 from 2014. Daimler says that this is simply a product optimised to OEM requirements regarding temperature ranges and crash safety and not a seven-year-old device from consumer electronics.<\/p>\n

“The EQS was developed to exceed the expectations of even our most demanding customers,” says Daimler boss Ola K\u00e4llenius. “That’s exactly what a Mercedes has to achieve to earn the letter ‘S’ in its name. Because we don’t award that letter lightly.”<\/p>\n

Mercedes plans to publish the prices at the sales launch in June.<\/p>\n

Update 22 September 2021<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Mercedes-Benz has announced the EQS will arrive in U.S. dealerships in autumn of 2021 and will start at $102,310. For the US launch, the EQS will be offered in three different trims with two different powertrains. Prices for the vehicle range top out at $108,510 on the EQS 450+ and $125,310 on the EQS 580 4MATIC, and both include a charging offer with Electrify America to charge on DC chargers for free for a period of two years.<\/p>\n

Update 11 October 2021<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Mercedes-Benz USA has revealed that the EQS will have an EPA range of up to 350 miles (563 km). That’s the value for the rear-wheel-drive EQS 450+ version. The all-wheel-drive EQS 580 4MATIC has a slightly lower EPA range of 340 miles (547 km). Both cars are equipped with a 107.8 kWh battery (usable capacity).<\/p>\n

The range is significantly lower than expected, as the automobile manufacturer had initially boasted that the vehicle would have a range of around 485 miles on the European WLTP testing cycle. While the number was expected to be lowered under the stricter EPA standards, it is unusual that the range would be more than 100 miles lower than expected.<\/p>\n
