[ĐÁNH GIÁ XE] Mercedes-Benz EQS: The pinnacle of convergence

Superior acceleration – on par with a supercar

Power is a huge advantage on electric vehicles in general and Mercedes-Benz EQS in particular. Thanks to the ability to exploit almost all torque instantly, instead of gradually increasing torque before reaching its peak like an internal combustion engine car, the EQS 580 4Matic can accelerate from 0 – 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds.

The feeling of sitting in the driver’s seat for the first time, placing both hands on the beautiful white steering wheel and stepping on the accelerator to drive the EQS will easily make you fall into a state of dizziness: The power of 516 horsepower, maximum torque of 858 Nm can completely push your body backwards, pressing tightly against the back of the seat and causing the scenery on both sides of the glass to blur when the car starts to reach speeds of over 120 km/h; The ears are a bit ringing and all thoughts in the head disappear, giving way to focusing from the eyes to the hands on how to regain control.

Faced with such a large acceleration, your first reflex will be to tighten your grip and immediately loosen the accelerator to reduce acceleration (although the car is still accelerating, the momentum slows down). Pheeew!

Feeling all your senses return even though you’re still a little “dazed”, at this point you can hear your heart pounding in your chest due to the amount of Adrenaline transmitted to your heart. Feeling! It’s really emotional! With just over 5 billion VND, you can completely experience a “brutal” feeling that is not inferior to supercars costing several tens of billions of VND.

At any time, whether at a speed of 40, 60, 80 or 100 km/h; The car is always waiting to rush away every time the driver presses the gas pedal deeply. Especially when switching to Individual driving mode and Vivid Flux sound mode, you will also be “promoted” with an extremely “catchy” spaceship-like soaring effect. This is an extremely interesting and unique experience that not every car can bring to users.

That’s when you operate the car in a youthful, exciting style. If used normally for daily commuting in the city, Mercedes-Benz EQS will completely conquer you, because of the comfort and quiet that the interior compartment can bring.

Contributing in no small part to the EQS’s “superior” soundproofing ability is the vehicle’s aerodynamics. Specifically, the wind resistance index on the Mercedes-Benz EQS is only 0.22 Cd; While rival Porsche Taycan has a corresponding index of 0.23 and Tesla Model S has 0.24 Cd.

The design is functional but still very sleek and sharp

It is necessary to emphasize again: Mercedes-Benz EQS Possessing a wind resistance index of only 0.22 Cd – a number that is considered “superior” in today’s car world. To do that, German engineers had to try to maintain maximum curves and minimize gaps to optimize aerodynamics thanks to the vehicle shape.

Therefore, we have an extremely streamlined EQS: one-panel hood, hidden retractable door handles, 20-spoke wheels, and the roof is swept all the way down to the trunk in the style of a Coupe. Even the trunk opening handle – which also doubles as the rear camera – is a retractable shape.

This is definitely a time when design must give way to optimal functionality; however by no means Mercedes-Benz EQS not beautiful. On the contrary, the German electric sedan has an extremely beautiful charm. Extremely sexy curves – a complete opposite of the rough and tough look of the “dude” G63 – make the “long-legged” EQS extremely prominent and different on the road; even when placed next to sibling models in the “Moc” family.

The most outstanding exterior equipment is the full LED Digital smart lighting system. These sophisticated eyes include 1.3 million lighting points on each side, accurately identifying, calculating and limiting areas that need to be brightened (eg, signage system) or dimmed (eg, people or vehicles going in the same direction, going in the opposite direction) in complex conditions.

The interior compartment is spacious and super modern

Perhaps there is no need to discuss much about the softness of the leather, the smoothness of the wood or the beauty of the metal trim – which is probably already the standard for all Mercedes-Benz cars. The details are finished meticulously, smoothly and in perfect harmony with each other like each note in a symphony. However, what impressed me was another aspect.

Enter the interior compartment of the Mercedes-Benz EQS 580it’s easy to mistakenly think you’re “traveling to the future”. Not only does it possess the highest quality materials in the contemporary car world, such as leather, wood, metal, suede…; The electric sedan is also integrated with the most advanced features, as an extremely impressive “showcase” of technology.

In front of the passengers sitting in the front row are 3 huge display screens, located behind the steering wheel, in the middle of the dashboard and in front of the passenger sitting in the passenger seat. Even rear passengers will have to be satisfied with the two screens located in the front seat headrests. The total area of ​​the vehicle’s display screens is up to 57 inches!

Thanks to maximizing the display area, there are very few buttons inside the cabin of the EQS. The only row of physical keys is just a row of extremely beautiful piano black buttons arranged in the middle of the central armrest for quick access to the most necessary features.

All features, information and operating status of the EQS can be easily accessed for monitoring and fine-tuning no matter where the passenger sits in the vehicle. For example, despite sitting in the back seat, owners can fully adjust the massage mode, reclining seats, sound, lighting and even the vehicle’s operating mode.
