Inovev forecasts 5,000 units per year of the new Mercedes EQS SUV
- Mercedes unveiled the 100% electric EQS limousine last year, considered the electric version of the S-Class limousine with a completely different aesthetic because it is aerodynamically optimized, which creates an almost single-volume line. This strategy of clearly differentiating the electric model from the thermal model was not the solution chosen by BMW to create its i7 limousine competing with the EQS and perfectly identical to the new 7 Series, therefore much more classic in appearance.
- New in 2022 for Mercedes is that the EQS (F-segment) is paired with an SUV version which is sort of a bigger version of the current EQC SUV (D-segment). This model can also be considered the electric version of the large GLS SUV. By its size (5.12 m long, 1.96 m wide, 1.72 m high), it is a competitor of the BMW iX.
- The new EQS SUV shares its EVA2 platform with the EQS limousine and adopts a sober aesthetic inspired by the EQA SUV (C segment), less ostentatious than that of the BMW iX. Like the GLS, the EQS SUV is a seven-passenger vehicle. Its electric motor has a choice of 360 hp for the rear-wheel-drive version or 544 hp for the all-wheel-drive version (a BMW iX has a power of 523 hp). This engine allows a range of 500 km or 600 km depending on the power.
- The EQS SUV will be produced in Tuscaloosa (Alabama, USA) at the rate of 5,000 units per year, unlike the EQS limousine which is produced in Sindelfingen (Germany).
