Superb grille idea. A welcomed differentiation from the Panamerica grille.

While continuing to remain heavily swirlyfoiled and plastocladded, some of these photoshot angles display an automobile that may be visually quite exciting.

This being said, M-B has an all-the-more daunting task at hand now that the Lucid Air is commanding the headlines. At least on paper, the Lucid is looking invincible. And then there's Tesla with a heavily revamped Model S waiting in the aisle. Certainly, M-B has the resources to pump out EQS' as quickly as salmon can spawn eggs-provided that the demand for the car exists. Not to forget that M-B has a formidable loyalist base. The battle for supremecy in the luxury BEV segment will be fascinating. Question is: Will the newly crowned king speak German ?

Hopefully with the EQS , MB can show that German Automaker is capable of making GREAT electric car

...and we shall see what VAG (Audi, Porsche and Bentley) and BMW eventually bring to the table.

The dash is different from the S class.The carbon or wood piece us really big and flows from the bottom part of the screen and the side vents won't be like the stunning ones in the S..

The EQS will have an inferior interior to the S class the same way the Taycan has an inferior interior to the Panamera. Higher cost on Electric powertrains means cost cutting on the interior.

Possibly, and they are smart, they can market it as an effort in being sustainable.

However, it may back-fire because if you also trying to convert more traditional buyers, how many would want a more down-rent interior?

Totally disagree. Electric powertrains are much, much cheaper than an ICE powertrain (in everything-design/engineering, production costs).

Economic interior is a way of saying, being a Mercedes "S" and with the price it will have, I doubt that it will be noticed (if it becomes), rather different and perhaps less traditional and even more avant-garde in materials but I suppose nothing critical

The EQS now in covered form, at least from the front reminds me of a Honda Accord, and that’s pathetic, but the overall shape is very nice in my opinion, elegant in a modern way. Also we have seen the concept and that’s a winner, hopefully that’s what we are going to see under the covers.

What I really liked about the Lucid approach is that they emphasized that each component of the car was designed with efficient mass production in mind, so I agree with CrunchSlaughtered regarding the expectation of the interior - Mercedes most likely approached this question similarly, so we can expect lower costs in the segment.
I’m happy that the interior is somewhat different from the S, but I’m not happy to see the circular air vents on the side - they really just need to keep going with the design shown in the concept, but recently they rarely do so... Sustainable materials will be a must among the options, otherwise they won’t get the new generation of fans to their side from Tesla and Lucid.

The Maybach question is very interesting, I would be very happy to see a full electric Maybach, but not so much an EQS Maybach, and I’m not sure which direction they had in mind.

 

[Serpens]

I totally feel that Mercedes is going to miss the boat on sustainable materials. I suspect they'll be playing major catch up on that come facelift time.

 

[275others]

Love the shape of the car, the interior on the other hand...The trim piece seems so oversized.
Is it me or does the central screen have thinner bezels then the one in the W223?

 

[Centurion]

Sigh......terrible looking so far.

The egg shape vette have tangible benefits like a huge open air cabin like we have seen in a million BEV concepts but not in any production cars.

Exterior or interior materials?

Hard to believe, but this is the S-Class. There shouldn't be any cost cutting.

Interior. I haven’t heard much of anything from them on that topic.

They are more expensive to legacy carmakers who are not building them in-house but rather sourcing motors from Bosch and batteries from LG and then a BMS from a 3rd supplier and then getting software teams to get all 3 components to talk to one another And then developing training and service manuals and sharing that content with thousands of dealerships across the globe. Overall cost is higher than mating a ZF transmission and your own engine that is consistent throughout your entire product range that you’ve been selling for 100 years.

Even only the exhaust gas treatment costs more than an EV drivetrain (the battery not included, because it is not a part of the drivetrain).
