According to manufacturers, the axe is set to fall somewhere between 2030 and 2035. In other words, in the very near future. And Mercedes can't afford to lag behind, given that its S-Class has been THE best seller in the limousine category for 40\u00a0years. Hence the brand with the three-pointed star is presenting the EQS, its vision of an all-electric luxury saloon.<\/p>\n<p>The new model will be available in a 450+ version for its launch, delivering 333hp on the rear axle and 580 4MATIC four-wheel drive of 524hp. With a range of 780km (480\u00a0miles) according to Mercedes.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The New EQS: World Premiere | Trailer\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KitQQHm0Eoc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>It goes without saying that an electric car is designed to be silent. Something that Mercedes has pushed to the extreme in terms of the EQS\u2019 aerodynamics with a C<sub>d<\/sub> benchmark of 0.20, making it the most aerodynamic production car in the world. Not only does this boost the range, but it also improves quiet running with an almost non-existent wind noise level even at high speeds.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of technology, the EQS has it all, including gadgets like the driver's door that opens automatically as the driver approaches, and other potentially more useful additions like \u201cautomated valet service\u201d: in countries where it is authorised and in equipped car parks, the car will park and unpark itself.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-112830 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/en\/so-barnes-en\/mercedes-eqs-the-first-electric-limousine\/attachment\/the-new-eqs-from-mercedes-eq-press-test-drive-switzerland-2021the-new-eqs-from-mercedes-eq-press-test-drive-switzerland-2021-5-2\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/21C0402_028-copie-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/21C0402_028-copie-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/21C0402_028-copie-130x130.jpg 130w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/en\/so-barnes-en\/mercedes-eqs-the-first-electric-limousine\/attachment\/the-new-eqs-from-mercedes-eq-press-test-drive-switzerland-2021the-new-eqs-from-mercedes-eq-press-test-drive-switzerland-2021-4-2\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/21C0402_029-copie-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/21C0402_029-copie-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/21C0402_029-copie-130x130.jpg 130w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/en\/so-barnes-en\/mercedes-eqs-the-first-electric-limousine\/attachment\/the-new-eqs-from-mercedes-eq-press-test-drive-switzerland-2021the-new-eqs-from-mercedes-eq-press-test-drive-switzerland-2021-2-2\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/21C0400_037-copie-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/21C0400_037-copie-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/21C0400_037-copie-130x130.jpg 130w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/en\/so-barnes-en\/mercedes-eqs-the-first-electric-limousine\/attachment\/the-new-eqs-from-mercedes-eq-press-test-drive-switzerland-2021the-new-eqs-from-mercedes-eq-press-test-drive-switzerland-2021-3-2\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/21C0402_025-copie-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/21C0402_025-copie-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/21C0402_025-copie-130x130.jpg 130w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>The full range of comfort and safety equipment on the EQS is too long to list, but we were blown away by the \u201cHyperscreen\u201d that covers the entire dashboard.
