This is how Mercedes imagines the mobile future.
Within the next 20 years, the Group wants to set up a Co2-neutral new car fleet. The Vision EQS is thus less a concrete prototype than a visual representation of the direction in which the car maker wants to move.
From a design point of view, one notices first of all that the show car works with reduced shapes and colors, but to a considerable extent with light. According to the manufacturer, hundreds of individual LEDs should not only provide the necessary safety-related lighting, but also represent a form of communication between the vehicle and the environment.
In the choice of materials, the manufacturer wants to put special emphasis on the use of recycled materials, such as marine waste or PET bottles.
With regard to drive technology, the Vision EQS relies on a battery-powered 4-wheel drive for the time being. In this case, an electric motor is used per axle, whose respective power can be distributed depending on the requirements. The batteries are installed between the axles in the vehicle floor, which should lead to a low center of gravity along with correspondingly stable driving behavior.
The Vision EQS is capable of highly automated level 3 driving in certain applications, such as long highway driving. This means that the vehicle drives independently and the driver may even turn away from traffic for a while. Mercedes wants to have the system developed so that it could be extended to fully automated driving to Level 5. The driver would only passenger.

With more than 350 kilowatts of power and a torque of around 760 Newton meters, the Vision EQS is expected to accelerate from zero to 100 kilometers per hour in less than 4.5 seconds and reach a top speed of more than 300 kilometers per hour. The range indicates Mercedes with up to 700 kilometers to WLTP.
The battery has a capacity of 100 kilowatt hours and could theoretically be charged at a charging power of 350 kilowatts within only 20 minutes to 80 percent. Corresponding charging stations, however, still have to be created.
