Will they present the car or the MBUX of the car?
These shoddy marketers should be clearer and leave so many turns

Seems like a presentation for the new infotainment, not the car itself.

 

[HUTSUTAo]

Believe it will be a series of shows leading to the actual reveal of the king

 

[Merc1]

Maybe some good interior shots will come with this.

For me still the most gorgeous combo:
An vor-mopf V220 S6...

Yesssss, we had one of these, wonder why they discontinued thay colour, chalcedony blue too! Liquid crystal paints were amazing

Mercedes S-Class last test on Lake Garda

The new S-Class (W223, V223 and X223) is currently being tested on Lake Garda.

It will again set new standards in all areas and should shine with a new level of electrified powertrains.
In addition, the focus on the rear compartment was further increased. The wheelbase of the V223 and X223 (S-Class Maybach) has also been slightly extended.

The comfort in the rear should increase again significantly.

The following features have already been announced for the S-Class (223 series), which will be presented to the world public in September:

• Digital Light (with one million small mirrors per headlight, can also be used as a "projector", for example for projecting a zebra crossing or for distance information to the person in front)
• Autonomous driving according to SAE Level 3
• Improved eABC chassis with extended networking with the cameras (wheels can be lifted individually via 48 volt motors on each wheel via bumps)
• New PreSafe function expected: In the event of an impending side impact, the body is raised in a flash by 5 cm via the chassis, which reduces the risk of injury to the heads of the occupants
• MBUX with large central monitor (upright) in the center console (NTG 7.0) including updates OTA (over-the-air)
• Massage on all seats (option)

The wheelbase will increase by around 4 cm for each variant (W223, V223 and X223). The S-Class Maybach will be almost 5.50 m long. The 223 series is based on the MRA2 platform and thus skips the MRA I platform, since the 222 was still based on the 221 in many respects. The new S-Class will set new standards in noise comfort (NVH), isolate occupants from the environment and at the same time reduce the weight somewhat.

In order not to neglect the maneuverability of the new longer wheelbases, Mercedes-Benz unpacks the hammer here. With a new extreme rear axle steering (see video), the turning circle is shortened by 1.20m with this optional feature.

For example, the new S-Class (V223) will no longer be able to turn in the current long S-Class (V222) in 12.30m but in approx.11.10m and is therefore below the current C-Class (W205) with 11,22m or E-Class (W213) with 11.40m. (Values apply to models with rear-wheel drive). Even a 4.42m long A-Class doesn't really turn better with 11.0m.

Watch the rear axle:

JESMB expects the following powertrains:

It is currently unclear whether 4-cylinders are used in combination with the plug-in hybrids. They were supposed to come, but now the use of the 4-cylinder for Europe and the USA has been denied.

S 350d OM656 (R6 Diesel) + 20 HP 48 volt ISG in 9G-Tronic

S 400d OM656 (R6 Diesel) +20 hp 48 volt ISG in 9G-Tronic

S 450 M256 (R6 petrol) 367 +22 hp

S 500 M256 (R6 petrol) 435 +22 HP

S 580 M176 (V8 petrol 4.0 liter) 489 +22 hp

S 600 4matic Maybach M176 (V8 petrol 4.0 liter), 558 PS +22 PS, 730 NM

S 650 4matic Maybach M279 (V12 petrol engine with 9G-Tronic) for the first time V12 with 4matic

S 73e 4matic + AMG (M177 plus P3 plug-in hybrid with electric rear axle) up to 800 hp (not until the end of 2022)


Mercedes S-Class plug-in hybrid variants receive a P2 plug-in hybrid variant. They have a large battery that enables electric travel of more than 100 km (not the AMG plug-in hybrid). They can then be charged to 80% in 20 minutes using the CCS DC connector.

The new S-Class BR223 will be produced in Sindelfingen in the new Factory 56 and will be in stores and to customers in November 2020.

I'm not sold on raising the body in a side impact. Seems to me the frame of the car would get bent in such an accident and the car would be deemed a total loss in crashes where that normally wouldn't be the case.

"S 650 4matic Maybach M279 (V12 petrol engine with 9G-Tronic) for the first time V12 with 4matic"

And yet we won't see another S65? A shame really.

Lol f#ck the car if it makes you survive or less prone to brain damage.
There is a thing called insurance.

You aren't going to die in a low speed crash. I want to know what speed this feature will activate.

[J.E]

I hope the W223 comes with four zone climate control as standard.

 

[Wolfgang]

Believe the new PreSafe function may be an extension of PreSafe Pulse?

Raising the car will more evenly distribute lateral forces on the entire crash structure on impact than having it sit at "ground level"
This is a theory that must be seen in a demo of some sort. Sounds like a great idea.

Strange there is no S63 in the engine lineup.

The digital light projections sound like such a gimmick.

The side crash thing is the same feature that has been in the Audi A8 for the last couple of years right?

The “extreme” rear wheel steering is a fantastic feature.

 

[Merc1]

I hope they go with the S500 and S580 in the U.S.

Does this mean the release plan lasts almost 3 months? Lol they are just hysterical for doing this marketing hype.

I think they will leak the car slowly through this Digital platform and then also release the technical highlights of the new S-class with different videos. Lets wait and see.

You right the Audi A8 was the first car to have Pre-Sense Side Impact Lift Protection.

Also Audi was the first to launch Digital Lights on the E-Tron Sportback

Digital Audi Matrix LED headlights: one million pixels dancing in step
Audi has been pushing the limits of vehicle lighting technology for many years. Its most recent innovation is the digital Matrix LED headlight for the new Audi e-tron Sportback. It offers new features that make driving safer and more secure — for everyone on the road.
11/21/2019 Reading Time: 2 min

Bright minds can see further — and the name of the man who illuminates Audi is Stephan Berlitz. He is head of development in lighting and vision innovations. His latest innovation that will go into series production had its debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show 2019: the digital Matrix LED headlights for the new Audi e-tron Sportback.

• 
  
  Stephan Berlitz, Head of Lighting Innovations/Functions, developed the digital matrix LED headlights together with his team.
  
  
• 
  
  Technology straight from the video projector: A small chip with around one million micromirrors is at the heart of the new high-tech headlights.
  

On the highway: a 50-meter carpet of light

Stephan Berlitz
The new digital lighting system offers features that make driving easier and more secure. One major advantage is the lane and orientation lighting for highways, in which the headlights emit a carpet of light up to 50 meters long. It brightly illuminates the driver’s current lane and adjusts dynamically during lane changes. Dark spots — areas, where the lighting is dimmed — show where the car is positioned in the lane.

No matter which lighting array is used in which driving situation, the digital Matrix LED headlights produce it with the utmost precision. “We use the low beam to create curve lighting, city lighting, and highway lighting functions — and we do it even more precisely and harmoniously than ever before,” says Berlitz. “The main headlights can exclude other vehicles from the beam of light even more precisely, to avoid blinding them.” At the beginning and end of a trip, the digital Matrix headlights can generate dynamic loops — animations that display geometric lighting patterns on the garage door or the ground.

A million micromirrors: the technology behind the Audi Matrix LED

The new Audi Matrix LED headlights are based on what is known as DMD technology, which stands for Digital Micromirror Device . The heart of the device is a small chip with around one million micromirrors, each of which has an edge length of only a few hundredths of a millimeter. Electrostatic fields allow the mirrors to be tilted at a rate of up to 5,000 times per second.

The mirrors’ position determines what happens to the light generated by the three LEDs. A lens system directs the majority of the light onto the street; when a particular area should be dimmed, the necessary light is directed to an absorber that swallows it up.

A new responsibility — car lighting that communicates with others on the road

A global innovation made by Audi: The fully electric Audi e-tron Sportback follows the carpet of light it is projecting onto the streets.

Stephan Berlitz has been in a leadership position in lighting innovations at Audi for almost 20 years. He and his team have brought innovations such as LED headlights, dynamic blinkers, and OLED rear lights into series production. And with the Audi Matrix LED headlights, he is once again years ahead of the curve. “This is opening up a whole new world because the car can now use its lighting to communicate with its environment in a nuanced way,” says Berlitz.

Cars from Audi, the developer explains, could soon be able (and permitted) to warn other drivers about accidents or icy patches by projecting appropriate symbols onto the street. Additional ideas are pedestrian crosswalks produced with lighting or directional arrows that could be used to warn other drivers of an upcoming lane change. Before that becomes reality, however, the authorities in the worldwide markets first need to grant their approval.
