The new Mercedes EQS
Mercedes-Benz has officially unveiled the all-electric EQS sedan that has been billed as a “Tesla killer”.
The Daimler-owned marque has long had success with its S-Class cars but has been slower than rivals in moving into low-emissions vehicles.
Built from the ground up as an electric car, the EQS is expected to address any fears that Mercedes is lagging behind.
The new model will have the longest range of any electric car of up to 470 miles. Only Tesla models that are yet to hit the road are likely to match this.
Mercedes did not reveal pricing for the EQS but is likely to be similar to the flagship S-Class range that starts at £90,000. The model goes on sale in the UK in the late summer .
(Feb 6): While Daimler AG’s blockbuster breakup plan thrilled investors this week, the Mercedes-Benz maker also prepared for the euphoria failing to filter down to factory floors.
Soon after Daimler announced it will spin off its commercial-vehicle unit and list the company separately, managers at the world’s largest heavy-truck plant in Woerth, Germany, and other sites received an emailed set of answers to questions they were likely to get from employees, according to people familiar with the matter. The key points centered around job security, spending cuts and other potential drawbacks, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing internal matters.
