Inovev forecasts 5,000 units per year of the Mercedes EQS
- Mercedes has unveiled its all-electric F-segment sedan, the EQS, which could be considered as the electric counterpart of the S-Class, but the model is completely different from the S-Class. Indeed, its six-side-window body features a very tapered line, while the S-Class is a classic sedan with four side windows. In terms of dimensions, the EQS is slightly longer, being 5.22 m long compared to 5.21 m for the S-Class.
- The EQS is positioned at the top off the Mercedes EQ range (battery electric vehicle), which until now, was composed of the EQA (C segment), EQB (C segment), EQC (D segment) and EQV (minivan).
- Two versions will be marketed at the launch: EQS 450 and EQS 580, equivalent to two different battery powers (90 kWh and 108 kWh), combined with electric motors delivering a power of 330 hp and 524 hp respectively. These batteries take place under the car between the front and rear tracks on a new platform. Mercedes has confirmed the upcoming launch of an even more powerful AMG version that will deliver 750 hp. According to the carmaker, the autonomy of the Mercedes EQS would be 770 km in the most powerful version.
- Inovev forecasts 5,000 EQS produced per year at the German plant of Sindelfingen, alongside the Mercedes S-Class and E-Class. This quantity represents almost 10% of the S-Class production. It is very rare that the electric versions are less Expensive than their thermal counterparts, the prices of the Mercedes EQS are however lower than those of the S-Class.
