2021 Mercedes-Benz EQS: images give first look at interior

Mercedes-Benz is preparing to take on the Tesla Model S, Porsche Taycan and next-generation Jaguar XJ with its plush new EQS electric saloon, and fresh spy shots of a less-disguised prototype have emerged.  

Test cars have recently ditched the bulky body cladding and fake lights of previous testing mules, giving a glimpse of the headlight and tail-light   designs and the overall body proportions. We\'ve now had our first glimpse inside, too, and it looks like the EQS will have the same 11.9in central touchscreen and 12.3in digital display as the recently revealed 2021 S-Class, doing away largely with physical controls.

Mercedes previously confirmed a   range of more than 700km (435 miles) for the EQS. Daimler boss Ola K?llenius said the new model would also "set the benchmark" in terms of luxury, comfort and safety.  

The EQS will compete with the Taycan and its upcoming Audi E-Tron GT sibling in the flourishing electric premium saloon segment. Test mules feature   a low, swooping roofline, with a slim headlight design among the more obvious visible features.  

The EQS is described as being   roughly the size of the current   CLS.   Mercedes   previously hinted at the styling of its first electric saloon with the   EQS Vision concept   at last year\'s Frankfurt motor show.  

The latest addition to Mercedes\' EQ electric vehicle   line-up will   join the   EQC mid-sized SUV and   EQA compact SUV   in showrooms in 2021. According to officials, the EQS name   implies   a level of luxury, comfort and features consummate to the company’s traditional S-Class.

It will head what the engineering boss of the EQ sub-brand, Michael Kelz, suggests will be a 10-strong electric   model range by the middle of the 2020s.

Whereas the EQC   is based on existing underpinnings from the GLC, the range-topping EQS will be the first EQ model to benefit from Mercedes\' dedicated Modular Electric Architecture (MEA).
