New generation of Mercedes-Benz S-Class officially launched

The new generation of Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedan is officially launched, with a total of five models. The new car upgraded the latest generation of Mercedes-Benz family design language, the interior style has changed significantly, the shape is more aggressive and you and ng and a variety of fancy technology configurations have become the protagonist, the comprehensive view seems that Mercedes-Benz intends to decline the age of the S-class purchasing power crowd to further improve sales, and the power of the whole series equipped with an inline 6-cylinder engine, and according to the different configurations with 48V motor and strong hybrid motor.

Appearance.

The exterior design of the current S-Class (W222) is almost impossible to find any fault, and the evaluation is only the word "perfect". The appearance of the new generation of Mercedes-Benz S-Class, which debuted this time, can be described as extremely "subversive", with the addition of a new generation of family language, making the overall design much younger.

Interior.

The current Mercedes-Benz S-Class (ask for the bottom price|check the reference) luxury yacht-like interior that can be described as an "eye-catching" weapon, in the same class has an unprecedented sense of luxury, throughout the senior wood trim is ringed, giving people a sufficient sense of luxury and security. The interior of the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class has once again overturned my understanding of the word "luxury", which is a perfect blend of technology, luxury, and art.

In addition to innovations in the car's screen, the new car is equipped with a head-up display (AR-HUD) system with augmented reality. It is said that the new HUD display allows the auxiliary image to be displayed up to 10 meters away, which, together with the driver assistance system and navigation information, provides a large amount of augmented reality content.

For the driver, more display information is mixed with the surroundings in front of the vehicle, thus helping to reduce driving distractions. The component units that form the image consist of a 1.3 mm high-resolution matrix. In addition, the independent reflectors and efficient light sources are based on the same technical principle as the projectors in cinemas.

The new Mercedes-Benz S-Class will be equipped with a reality-enhanced version of the head-up display system

It is reported that the system will also support the display of speed, navigation, lane keeping, and other information like most heads-up display systems on the market, but with the Active Distance Assist Distronic function turned on, it can provide a dynamic indication of the road surface based on real-time road conditions.

Space.

Automatic adjustment function (ADAPT function): The driver only needs to enter his height in the MBUX intelligent human-computer interaction system or tell his height to the MBUX system, and the function will calculate the optimal driving position based on the entered height and adjust the driver's seat, steering wheel and the mirrors on both sides accordingly.

Power.

Power part, the new car all uses the inline six-cylinder engine, including S450/S500 for 3.0T turbocharged engine + EQ Boost 48V light hybrid technology, the maximum power of 367 PS and 435 PS, peak torque of 500N-m and 520N-m, respectively, the transmission system is matched with the familiar 9-speed automatic transmission.

In addition, the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class is equipped with a set of E-Active body control systems with the same air suspension as the GLS. （The new Mercedes S-Class is equipped with a set of E-Active body control systems with the same air suspension as the GLS. (It is the "car shock mode" that has been on the internet before)

The new Mercedes-Benz S-Class "black technology" collection is armed to the teeth!

This E-Active body control system is derived from the same hydro-pneumatic air suspension on the new GLS, which is the first time used in a sedan, by having an adjustable valve and a hydraulic reservoir on each shock absorber, using the motor/pump unit to force the hydraulic fluid to move, causing a pressure difference within the shock absorber so that the car tilts from one side to the other to compensate for the G value when turning, as well as when needed bob up and down when needed.

At the same time, the E-Active body control system still retains the "Magic Carpet System" of the current S-Class, which scans the road using front radar and then actively adjusts the vehicle suspension in advance based on road information to ensure a smooth body.

In addition to the E-Active body control system, the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class is also equipped with a rear axle steering system, the principle of which is to install an electric motor on the rear axle to drive the belt, which can adjust the angle of the rear wheels according to the steering input signal. It is worth mentioning that the new car also offers two different versions of the rear axle steering system, one with a 10-degree angle and the other with a 4.5-degree steering angle, in which the new S-Class can reduce the turning radius by up to 177.81mm.

Jurgen Weissinger, Chief Engineer of the S-Class, said: "The rear axle steering enables the new S-Class to maneuver as easily as a compact car, and even for the long-axle version of the S-Class, the turning radius can be reduced to less than 11m, while together with the Active Parking Assist with 360° camera, the vehicle can easily park into tight parking spaces. "

Mercedes says: "The rear seat airbags are designed to protect passengers in the event of a frontal collision, and the airbags installed behind the front seats can deploy when a collision is detected, and this airbag is a U-shaped design that allows them to act as the equivalent of a "baseball catcher's mitt" and can safely of protecting the passenger's head in all directions."

Editor's comment.

It can be felt that this new Mercedes-Benz S-Class is very focused on the digital level of upgrades (intelligent cockpit hardware is said to be industry-leading, with very strong data processing potential), but this aspect is not Mercedes-Benz in leading the global automotive industry.
