The flagship Mercedes-Benz S-Class is going electric and will hit the roads in three years time, following an announcement made at the Frankfurt Motor Show this week.
The Mercedes-Benz Vision EQS has been shown at Frankfurt and promises to combine two electric motors to deliver all-wheel drive, alongside futuristic styling and a 700km emission free range.
The Vision EQS also introduces Benz’s new user-interface system inside what it calls its “large interior sculpture” filled with connected light that surrounds the occupants and haptic air-vents.
It’s capable of recharging 80 per cent of the battery in 20 minutes on a 350kW fast-charging station, and it’s claimed the EQS can sprint to 100km/h in 4.5 seconds.
A fully digital front grille, seen before in other MB Vision vehicles has 188 individual LEDs to deliver precise signalling to other cars and pedestrians. It’s designed to appear free-floating and three dimensional.
It was said the EQS will be on our roads by 2022.
