With a face lift they just don’t come some creative design but also mechanics, thanks to one A new battery that made it possible to increase the freedom.

Design design is mainly about front that has been redesigned. Specifically, Mercedes has modified the grille of its EQS making it similar to that of traditional models. Although it is clearly “closed” due to the absence of an internal combustion engine, the new grille offers chrome strips of a regular shape. Moreover, compared to the previous model, the German car manufacturer has decided to introduce a classic star placed on the bonnet.

Little news also on the passenger side, especially on the technology side considering that Mercedes has decided create a standard MBUX Hyperscreen system, originally envisioned as an option. Additionally, Mercedes has modified the rear seats to improve passenger comfort.

As for the mechanics, and the repair comes one new 118 kWh battery (previously 108.4 kWh). For example, thanks to this invention, Mercedes EQS 450 4Matic can count on 799 kilometers of autonomy in the WLTP cycle compared to the previous 717 km (energy consumption: 20.9 – 17.0 kWh/100 km. A model that can rely on two engines for a total of 265 kW. Instead,The range of the EQS 450+ model increases to 822 km (energy consumption: 19.9 – 16.3 kWh / 100 km). The EQS 450+ uses a single 265 kW engine. Mercedes has also worked to improve the towing capacity of the 4MATIC versions which now stands at 1,700kg (previously 750kg). On top of all this, Mercedes has also improved the operation of the energy recovery system.

On the driver assistance systems front, Mercedes has introduced an “Automatic Lane Change” function on the new EQS. If it is in front of a slow car on a two-lane road, the car can change lanes freely within the speed range of 80 to 140 km/h. If the radar detects enough space and the lane markings are detected, the car can overtake a slower car directly in front.
