As we all know, most of AMG’s models can be found in ordinary models in the Mercedes-Benz series, and the AMG EQS 53 is naturally no exception, because it is the high-performance EQS, Mercedes-Benz’s first pure electric platform sedan. Version. However, unlike the standard AMG appearance design in the past, the appearance of the AMG EQS 53 is not much different from the regular version of EQS. Even the body width is exactly the same, which means that it does not use AMG’s traditional high-performance models. wide body kit. However, in order to distinguish it, the AMG EQS 53 has achieved unification with other models in the AMG family by replacing the dot-matrix grille on the ordinary EQS with AMG's traditional straight waterfall grille. However, since the center grille of electric vehicles is closed and the whole body will be in a flat state, the change in the center grille style is not as conspicuous as that of a fuel vehicle.
In the era of fuel vehicles, because a longitudinally mounted multi-cylinder, large-displacement engine had to be stuffed into the cabin of luxury flagship cars, a long and flat front end was naturally needed. Over time, everyone The long, flat front end of the car is also gradually tied to top-end cars. However, since electric vehicles not only have no engine and do not need a long front end, but also want to reduce the drag coefficient, they must try to make the outline of the entire car as close to a droplet shape as possible. The front end of the car will naturally appear short, sloping, and round like the EQS. status. As a derivative model, the AMG EQS 53 will definitely continue this controversial shape that can achieve a drag coefficient of 0.20Cd, so in the end it only emphasized its performance car on the side by "blackening" the window line and replacing the wheels. identity.
As for the rims, the AMG EQS 53 densely spoked rims are far from sporty. At the same time, the large carbon ceramic brake discs and six-piston calipers with an internal size of up to 440mm are completely covered. Of course, this rim shape is also designed to reduce wind resistance, and in order to accommodate the huge brake disc, the rim size has also reached an astonishing 22 inches. In terms of tires, with the goal of taking into account both endurance and control, and finding the most perfect balance point, the AMG EQS 53 uses Pilot Sport EV, a special tire for electric vehicles with the Mo logo (exclusively for Mercedes-Benz) jointly developed by Mercedes-Benz and Michelin, and has four The width of the tires has reached 275mm.
With no "knife" on the front face or side, AMG will naturally not make too many changes to the rear of the EQS. The overall rounded look seems to be less murderous. Fortunately, it is small. The addition of the rear wing gives this AMG the toughness that a performance car should have. However, this rear wing is not exclusive to the EQS 53, because the same design can also be seen on the 580-powered version of the ordinary EQS. In addition, because it is an electric car, the missing exhaust pipes under the rear of the car also make this car look less like a "suited thug".
The hatchback-style trunk opening method can poke a lot of people's hearts. At the same time, the large trunk volume of 610L also gives the AMG EQS 53 enough luggage space to easily accommodate a family of three! Generally speaking, the design ideas of vehicles in the electric era are very different from those in the fuel era. Previously, what a fuel vehicle looked like was basically decided by aesthetically forward-looking styling designers. In the era of electric vehicles, before the pen is handed into the hands of the styling designer, the outline has probably been circled by the aerodynamics engineer, so the appearance of the vehicle has become a functionality-oriented result
Mercedes-Benz’s interior design never disappoints, and the AMG EQS 53 naturally has a high bottom line. The MBUX Hyperscreen system, which consists of a 12.3-inch instrument panel, a 17.7-inch central control screen and a 12.3-inch passenger entertainment screen, brings a sense of technology to this performance car that matches its pure electric identity. And in order to ensure the transparency of the screen, Mercedes-Benz also used Corning Gorilla curved glass for the 1.41-meter-long center console. At this time, coupled with Alcantara and carbon fiber interior materials, the interior of the AMG EQS 53 finally has a good sense of technology while also taking into account luxury and sport.
AMG EQS 53 uses the same new flat-bottomed steering wheel as the fuel-powered AMG. The two circular areas below are the function/mode quick switching buttons unique to AMG models.
The left side is a custom button. The driver can set a set of his favorite steering, suspension, and power states, and quickly turn them on and off through this button; the right side is a knob for adjusting the driving mode. By rotating it, you can adjust the driving mode in Comfort. Switch between three modes: , Sport and Sport+. Although the metal "shift paddle" at the rear looks very intimidating, it is actually a "shortcut key" for adjusting the intensity of kinetic energy recovery. Its logic is exactly the same as that of a Honda hybrid car. Turn the paddle on the "downshift" side. To increase the intensity of kinetic energy recovery, turn the paddle on the "upshift" side to reduce the intensity of kinetic energy recovery...
Although the AMG EQS 53 is a performance car, as a top-end model under Mercedes-Benz As an electric car, this AMG naturally cannot completely give up ride comfort. In terms of seat padding, although the front seats of the EQS 53 are not soft, they are not as hard as the bucket seats of AMG A-class, C-class and other models. In addition, the electrically adjustable seat leg rests can also make the front seat cushions extra long, supporting your thighs to the maximum extent and sharing the pressure on the buttocks. Of course, such as seat heating, ventilation, and massage functions, this electric flagship sedan also has everything you need. More importantly, as an AMG, these two front seats also provide sufficient wrapping, which can firmly hold your body during intense driving, achieving a perfect balance between comfort and movement.
The rear row of the AMG EQS 53 is a bit plain. First of all, the EQS 53 only uses a soft-packed rear center armrest with cup holders that is common on ordinary B-class cars. Therefore, after putting it down, the rear seat of this car will not be like the fuel-powered flagship sedan - the S-class. It forms a pseudo-4-seater layout that looks relatively high-end, and this problem also exists on the ordinary EQS. In addition, the steep backrest angle, coupled with the excessively reclined seat cushion angle, ultimately makes the angle between the backrest and the seat cushion reach nearly 90°, which is similar to the hard seats of green trains in China. In addition, in addition to the screen and seat heating, the rear of this car is not equipped with the rear backrest angle adjustment, seat massage, seat leg rest, central armrest multimedia Pad and other configurations found on the fuel S-class, so considering With a price of close to 1.8 million, the luxury feeling in the rear of this "Electric S-Class" is indeed easy to create a psychological gap.
AMG very considerately provides Chinese consumers with the AMG DYNAMIC PLUS package as standard, which allows the AMG EQS 53 to explode out of 762 horsepower and 1020 horsepower in the extreme power scenario of 0-100km/h. It has violent power of N·m of torque and achieves an official 0-100km/h acceleration time of 3.5 seconds. On the day of the test drive, many media ran a measured time of 3.4 seconds in the morning when the temperature was relatively low. However, in the afternoon when the body temperature reached 47°C, it was limited by the huge heat dissipation pressure of the motor and battery, as well as the high-temperature asphalt belt. Due to the extra resistance, I drove this "beast" with 1020 Nm and only achieved 100 mph in 3.84 seconds. However, considering that the fastest S-Class in the fuel era, the AMG S63 4MATIC, can only break 100 mph in 4 seconds, in fact, this 2.7-ton AMG EQS 53 is already the fastest-accelerating "S-Class" to date. Further carry forward AMG's tradition of "making big bricks fly"!
If you want to improve the handling of a car without changing the weight of the car, you must work on the three aspects of power release, grip, and steering response. First of all, in terms of power, we know that the AMG EQS 53 is not timid at all, but how to efficiently convert this 639 horsepower into driving force requires a deep knowledge of car building. After all, even if there is a four-wheel drive system, the tires cannot easily hold the 639 horsepower. Therefore, in order to avoid the loss of power caused by unnecessary slipping and the uncontrollable body dynamics, AMG engineers integrated a per-second sensor into the drive motor control unit. The real-time wheel torque sensor can detect as many as 10,000 times, and can efficiently transmit power to the ground through the most precise control. And this is also the true meaning of “4MATIC+” on the fender of the AMG EQS 53 electric performance car.
In addition, the AMG EQS 53 also uses customized Michelin PS EV tires with almost the same formula as Formula E. While taking into account strong grip, it also has a solid sidewall that can improve the vehicle's response speed.
Not only that, the EQS 53's air suspension can also show a rock-solid state in sports mode, so there is no need to worry about the vehicle rolling.
The maximum rear wheel steering angle of 9° also makes its 5.2-meter length no longer a burden. When going through low-speed corners, the rear wheels that rotate in the opposite direction to the front wheels can maximize the flexibility of the car body, and because the rear wheels will also share a certain amount of steering work, they can also effectively relieve the steering burden on the front wheels, thereby reducing the vehicle's load. The push head problem caused by heavy weight. In high-speed corners, the rear wheel will rotate in the same direction as the front wheel. In this way, the force that the rear wheel originally competes with the front wheel when cornering can be greatly reduced, thereby improving the overall performance. The car's cornering speed has increased. So in the face of the four major killers of rear-wheel steering, torque sensors, customized tires, and air suspension, the AMG EQS 53 can naturally show control performance that is one ton lighter than its actual weight in some non-extreme scenarios, and do It has a faster lap time than the Porsche Taycan Turbo S.
Looking back at the past, you must know that the AMG S65 and S63, two cars that once had powerful performance, can not only show their powerful side on the track, but also show their calmness and calmness in daily driving. Gentle and elegant character state. As the AMG S-Class in the Mercedes-Benz electric vehicle camp, the EQS 53 naturally continues this all-rounder-like versatility. When you drive leisurely in the city, this car will first give you the sense of luxury and calmness that a flagship Mercedes-Benz should have, and secondly, it will show the powerful physique of its AMG in the scenes you need. Thanks to the multiple soft and hard adjustment functions of the air suspension, when you adjust the driving mode to Comfort, the EQS 53's shock absorbers will instantly "relax", whether it is passing through road joints or potholes, this car will It brings you the unique high-end feeling of a million-level luxury car, and it will not be in a tense or jumping state at all times like other high-performance models.
EQS 53’s inheritance of AMG is not only reflected in the driving experience, but also continues AMG’s glorious tradition in terms of energy consumption. When equipped with a 111.8-kWh super-large battery, the CLTC cruising range of the AMG EQS 53 is only 601km, which is equivalent to an astonishing 18.6kWh/100km power consumption of the EQS under extremely friendly test conditions. After my actual measurement this time, on urban roads with an outdoor temperature of 37°C, air conditioning cooling at 23°C throughout, and an average speed of 35km/h, the average power consumption of the EQS 53 is 22.7kWh/100km. If the analog fuel consumption is basically the same as 13-14L/100km.
Although EQS 53 inherits the tonality of AMG in the fuel era, one thing is very different between the two, that is, EQS 53 does not have the endless restless atmosphere of AMG fuel vehicles. You know, even if you drive the gasoline AMG S65 in the most gentle way, that car will be surrounded by the roar of 12 cylinders all the time, but this AMG EQS 53 is always in a state of agitation when walking in Comfort mode. It feels dead silent, without any sound, and thanks to the wind resistance coefficient of 0.20Cd, the wind noise of the EQS 53 when driving at high speeds is not noticeable, except for the slight tire noise from the Michelin PS EV tires. The car is like driving in a vacuum environment, so quiet that it even makes people feel a little scary... Of course, if you just like the car to be surrounded by sound waves all the time, then whether it is by selecting Sport, Sport+ mode, or in By adjusting the sound wave to the maximum in the custom mode, you can actually get an endless restless listening experience. Therefore, for those drivers who do not have excessive secretion of hormones, the EQS 53's state of movement and stillness may be the best
