Mercedes-Benz has finally revealed its flagship EQS sedan after weeks of teasers and updates. The German automaker has a slew of new electric vehicles ready to hit the market under its dedicated EV sub-brand EQ. The EQS, the electric alternative to the Mercedes S Class, was unveiled in secret, revealing an ultra-luxurious and tech-focused sedan. The Mercedes-Benz EQS 2022 is the brand's first dedicated electric vehicle, as well as the first of Mercedes' EQ brand to be introduced in the United States.

The Mercedes-Benz EQS sedan, due in 2022, will be the German automaker's electrified future flagship and one of the most luxurious electric vehicles ever built. Although its curvaceous bodywork is designed to glide through the air effortlessly for maximum performance, its opulent cabin is outfitted with luxury appointments and cutting-edge technology to deliver the all-important wow factor.

Mercedes-Benz will enter the premium electric vehicle market with the EQS 2022. The EQS, inspired by the F015 model, aims to establish Mercedes' presence in the electric-vehicle market by starting at the top, with the world's lowest drag coefficient (0.20), the world's largest in-car screen (56 inches), and up to 516 horsepower.

With the EQS 2022, Mercedes-Benz will enter the premium electric vehicle market. The F015-inspired EQS aims to establish Mercedes' presence in the electric-vehicle market by starting at the top, with the world's lowest drag coefficient (0.20), the world's largest in-car screen (56 inches), and up to 516 horsepower.

The technology that piqued our interest, and nowhere more so than on the optional glass-covered Hyperscreen dashboard. The interior of the vehicle looks more like a cabin from a futuristic spaceship than an automobile.

It has panels that run almost the entire length of the dashboard. It's also the first time the MBUX Hyperscreen has been used, which is a large glass dashboard with three separate information screens – an instrument cluster, a center infotainment center, and a passenger-side auxiliary touchscreen.

The Hyper screen, which consists of three screens and is covered in a single sheet of Gorilla Glass that spans the entire dashboard. The monitor in the instrument panel is a standard LCD, but the middle and passenger screens are OLED, which provides more light and contrast. The new screen is paired with a new “Zero Layer” MBUX user interface architecture, which layers machine-learning-powered widgets over a 3D map of the vehicle's surroundings. The widgets, which can monitor everything from air conditioning to radio to phone (and more), learn from the driver's behavior, and gradually anticipate desires and surface knowledge based on user trends.

If you do not select the Hyperscreen option, you will be given a single 12.8-inch portrait-orientation monitor that will be positioned tablet-style in front of the steering wheel.

The EV sedan is available with either a 329-hp rear-drive (EQS450+) or a 516-hp all-wheel-drive powertrain (EQS580 4Matic). Both are powered by a massive 107.8-kWh battery with a range of more than 300 miles. Both EQS models are powered by a lithium-ion battery pack with a functional capacity of 107.8 kWh. The EPA-estimated driving range of the sedan has not been revealed by Mercedes, but based on the less demanding European WLTP test period, it should be adequate for about 478 miles.

The more restricted EPA-rated range is greater than 300 miles in our opinion. In addition to charging the battery from 10 to 100 percent in around 11 hours and 15 minutes using a 240-volt (Level 2) converter, the EQS is reportedly capable of charging the battery from 70 % to 100 % in around 35 minutes using a DC quick charger.

Driver-assistance technology is standard on the EQS 2022. The optional driver-assistance features on the 2022 EQS include adaptive cruise control and self-parking assist. The price of the EQS has yet to be determined by the automaker, but industry insiders predict it will comfortably exceed $100,000. In 2021, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class starts at $94,000 and rises to $160,000.

A man went to view the grey Mercedes E220 that had been advertised for sale online by the owner in Hazlemere Road, Slough.

At around 4.55 pm, the man asked to see the car running - before pushing the car's owner over and driving off in the Mercedes.

The car's owner was not injured.

Police have released an image of a man they think may have vital clues about the robbery.

Investigating officer Daniel Fallis, based at Slough police station said: “I believe the man in this image may have vital information that would help with our investigation.

“If you recognise this man, or if you believe it could be you, please get in touch.

“Likewise, if you have any information relating to this incident, if you witnessed it or have dash-cam footage of a grey Mercedes E220 in the area at the time, please come forward."

This is how a theft took place, which is strange. Anybody driving a car or bike must be careful of such thefts. Stay safe!

Daimler AG unveiled its electric S-Class sedan on Thursday, taking the fight to Tesla Inc as electric car sales soar.

The EQS is the first in a series of Mercedes-Benz cars to be designed entirely on an electric vehicle platform. In August, it will be available in Europe and the United States, with China following in January.

Last year, sales of electric and plug-in hybrid cars in the European Union nearly tripled to over 1 million, accounting for more than 10% of total sales.

"We set the bar very high," with this car, Daimler Chief Executive Ola Källenius told reporters. "Customers in this segment expect a blend of hi-tech innovation and modern luxury... and that's what we're trying to achieve with the EQS."

Daimler has not revealed pricing yet for the EQS, saying that will come in the summer closer to the launch date.

In interviews and conference calls on Thursday Källenius

avoided making any comparisons with Tesla, whose market cap of more than $700 billion dwarfs all other carmakers.

But with a range of up to 770 kilometers (478 miles) and a new display screen that will cover nearly the whole dashboard - an optional feature - analysts see an effort to seize the initiative from Tesla, which had a head start over other carmakers and boasted a longer battery range and hallmark touchscreen infotainment system.

In a client note earlier this week, Deutsche Bank referred to the EQS as "Mercedes' Tesla fighter" and said the car "will likely set the benchmark in terms of technical features, as well as design and quality," for both traditional carmakers and newer entrants like Tesla.

Källenius said he expects more than 50% of customers will pay extra to get the display screen, which Mercedes-Benz unveiled in January.

At 56 inches (142 cm) the new "Hyperscreen" - which in width dwarfs Tesla's vaunted 17-inch screen - will also feature in Mercedes-Benz's other new electric models.

Källenius said the company would not provide forecasts for how many EQS models it aims to sell, or what sort of profit margins he expected the vehicle to generate.

But he said he had high expectations for the Chinese market, where there is "tremendous demand" for the traditional combustion engine S-Class model.

Daimler now joins rival Volkswagen AG with a dedicated electric platform. BMW will launch a dedicated platform in 2025.

Mercedes sales chief Britta Seeger said the launch of the EQS coincides with demand for electric vehicles that is growing faster than company executives once forecast.

“We thought by 2030 that half of our sales will be electric vehicles” and plug-in hybrid vehicles, Seeger said during a conference call. “What we currently see... is a stronger request of customers for EVs. We are even more positive that this jump can be a little bit faster.”
