If this is the last generation S-Class, it is unlikely to go down in history

[123 ]

the first week of September 2020, destined unusual, we witnessed the first Rolls-Royce to bring a new generation of minimalist Gust, then ushered in the world is concerned about the a new generation of Mercedes-Benz S-class, and then there are the Maserati sports car to be published long-lost works.

Of course, in the first week of September this “three gods”, although gust more expensive, although Martha more blood, but I guess you want to know after all S-class.

how should I say, probably because it is our future life will be closer to it, here to say “near” means nearly physical distance, rather than near wallet …… about whether the replacement is positive or negative, the new generation S-class will be the D class car market, the hottest models in the near future to replace its predecessor, the Mercedes-Benz in the streets around the world .

As for after the replacement, in the end “after the W222 no more S-class “or” W223 really fragrant “, after reading this article you should have a rough answer.

[123 ] gas field, unaesthetic [ 123]

Each generation S-Class in all before the arrival of high-profile, but this generation W223 S-class attention before the release of worse than in the past can be said. One very important reason is that in recent years, the Mercedes-Benz design appears to have a
bottleneck

, especially in the performance even more high-end models such as the CLS triangular eyes, cumbersome four-door version AMG GT, let Mercedes-Benz did not seem to feel that people find the right direction.

on the

Benz it is the right direction on a generation S-class W222, in fact, S-class Mercedes-Benz family, and the whole automotive industry, both with a leading position.

after the

W222 C-class, E-class Mercedes-Benz as well as most of the other cars have followed the design language of the W222, Mercedes-Benz has brought great success.

people to buy C-class, E-class can say that they bought a “small S-class”, although rutting monarch does not endorse this slightly vanity of expression, as S gas field is not completely level C-class, E class can be comparable.

and the first in W222 of the double screen is driven by a number of car brands the interiors are made to put together two screens look similar story happened in previous generations of the Mercedes-Benz S-class body, visible impact on the Mercedes-Benz S-class automotive industry how far-reaching.

Well, W223 it?

honest, W223 S-class generation failed in the

on the
aesthetic design. Obviously, compared to before the W222, W223 is not so clear-cut, all in one.

headlamp and irregular network appears after N times before trimming molding, as a class D Ultimate side, the main line without drastic changes occur also reasonable among the tail triangular taillights is the most people “a little drunk,” the place, as if Mercedes is a copy of the taillight from the CLS or the like CLA models, and then paste in the S-class body, followed by micro-surgery again.

[123 ]

here thinking led to two, the first question naturally is really the beauty of this design is it? Perhaps this problem everyone has a different answer, but the answer the next question is about the convergence of different people’s eyes, that is, the current S-Class Mercedes-Benz cars is still the most family leadership position do?

Although we believe that W223 in the design aesthetic and nothing attainments, but as the S-class, the gas field which is just the right part of the wearer.

gas field come from?

First, of course the size of the body is great, with a body length 5320mm, 3210mm wheelbase, at the same level in the dataIt is more than the opponent.

The second is the S-class inheritance classic proportions, elegant gesture is sufficient. Coupled with the official figure as well as the conference site map we see now, Mercedes-Benz have come up with the best showing noble, body color luxury status, with the kit and wheels, as well as comprehensive photographic composition and lighting design layout, so you see, the first impression this gives the new S-class is much better than the original naturally Kam Tin in Hong Kong “world premiere” look, this is normal operation and the official figure of the conference site show car.

This way, leaving the suspense is likely to draw on the next-generation C-class and E-class S-class new design language to a large extent, in the case does not have the S-class is so the gas field, what will become.

this is not a “Chuan Qi GS5” compartment [ 123]

as one of the world’s highest degree of concern models, S-class design in fact there are many details before the official release has been made public, including the interior piece 12.8 inches of “split” in the control panel. While many brands are BenAfter the Chi into the double screen the “pit”, Mercedes-Benz own jump out. I remember the first year W222 double screen time, but also there is some controversy, but it is clear that this controversial W223 larger screen, but it also then point like Chi Chuan GS5.

Although the W222 double screen controversial, but we I do not suspect that this is not an S-class compartment of the others, and W223 is really easy to feel confused.

as a flagship, all the details of the cabin design and workmanship produced natural grinding is not too say, but the overall effect is very trivial, let alone want to find a few classic local lips can still be a few decades later.

For example, air conditioning vents, both sides or central, just look at themselves, it is fine enough texture, but looks panoramic carriages, they are unobtrusive. There Benz W223 assigned to two steering wheel

, not like the S-Class really looks like – saying W222 using a previous version of that classic of two steering wheel also somehow in the not too after a long time it was banned, sports styling kit version of the late clumsy steering wheel that is ridiculous.

Since the control of a large screen to be independently separated out, then the steering wheel in front of the dashboard screen naturally a separate piece.

This screen is also worth seeing, which is the world’s first car in the car with the naked eye 3D screen, but there are even more powerful. In front of the dashboard there is a big hole, which is to
HUD

heads-up display ready, the new S-class HUD also set a benchmark for the industry’s most advanced, not only large area,High resolution, which can show up some information, but also in conjunction with road conditions AR photo navigation.

As a more inclined to allow the driver to open and owners sitting in the back of the car, this technology gives preferential treatment perhaps only one purpose: to do the wrong way, boss of time is very precious.

then enjoy it in the back of an upgrade? Upgrade is a must, seemingly more luxurious seats, in fact, there are things around. 4D sound from the sound of Berlin, you more than a 3D multi-D, the extra-D is buried inside a seat vibrator, with the melody rhythm can give you a more intense “action time playing times,” although in a move on the S-class times playing time seems right style.

Remember the first in W222 and the benefit of many a treasure business rear head restraints do? W223 is certainly there, but also joined the heating function, businesses are fast to keep up with it. In addition to these, new enjoyment to configure the new S-Class in the back provided it does not seem too much, after all, the original S-class has been back at a very high altitude, and it is also somehow shortly after Maybach unveiled a new generation of S-class to leave room thing.

However, the first rear frontal airbag point it is worth praise of.

technology to lead the S-Class? [123 ]

2020s has undoubtedly entered the digital age, as a flagship, we can not at this piece of what science and technology not do anything, the opposite Mercedes-Benz carefully written in science and technology, if not to say that this is the Mercedes-Benz, you might think this is a brand new Audi flagship, the wrong studio embarrassed.

The new S-Class body of science and technology, just said 3D dashboard naked eye and head-up display HUD AR navigation system, in fact, this is just a new MBUX interactive system in the tip of the iceberg.

In fact, a new class of S

MBUX system

includes the “5 + 1” block panel in the vehicle interior, “5” are dashboards , the HUD two large screen, in the control screen, and behind the front seats, and “1” is the rear central armrest piece can be taken out of operation of a handheld tablet.

have carried out a close interconnection between these screens, For example, the transmission of information to share, if you want to share passengers are watching movies or music with the car elsewhere, you only need a draw on the screen, the corresponding content will “fly” to another screen.

ah, in fact, this feature seems a gimmick than practical, and with today’s technology, to achieve this function and there is no difficulty. Well, your phone and your home TV, even if does not use the same operating system, also can cast the screen, not to mention a few S-Class which it also claims to be on the same screenA system in it?

The best form of technology is no sense of presence, in fact, this is also reflected in the new S-class body, such as a driver at the time of adjusting the rearview mirror, do not need to manually select the left or to the right to adjust the rearview mirror, in which direction the driver’s face, which is turned up side of the rearview mirror. As well as when reversing, the driver turned to look back, the rear windshield sunshade will automatically lowered this rut ​​Jun have two questions.

First, there are now a variety of reverse image, auxiliary panoramic images, but also turned to see how many people make the action while backing?

Second, the rear windshield sunshade do not hang into reverse gear when it is already automatically fall yet?

Well, talk about anything else. Saying the colorful atmosphere of light here seems fortune from Mercedes-Benz, this time in the new S-Class body, ambient lighting is not just a decorative role, and it is integrated into the warning light, such as blind spot detection warning lights will change through the atmosphere red to inform the driver.

but speak truth, the new S-class carriage of these the so-called science and technology, and will not no use, but also not so epoch-making significance, these technologies can only say that there is not a lot more than they make you feel it, IT professionals if there are aspects we can interpret in a review look at the figure of each index is what level.

Then talk about the really useful hard goods.

[123 ]

carts really need these [123 ]

first of all please look at this may make you feel very uncomfortable in Fig.

is, which is a steering wheel, though not new technology, but the new S-class rear-wheel steering amplitude is a record, and the largest rear-wheel steering angle reverse can reach 10 degrees, for this car wheelbase of 3.21 meters, it can save 2 meters in diameter U-turn . While the vehicle speed is above 60km / h, the rear wheels will be in the same direction with the front wheel deflection, the steering angle has reached the maximum 4.5 degrees, there is a clear and high-speed stability help line.

[123 ]

another security with respect to a large front headlamps is helpful, the previous mULTIBEAM Benz geometry of the multi-beam headlamps LED 84 composed of the high beam light source, and in the new S-class digital headlamp, the number of LED light sources is changed from 843. This is not a big minus with it?

Definitely No, the three LED emitted the light illuminated by the front 1300000 refractive microlens, adds up the sides of the headlight

2.6 million pixels

.

according Benz official description, the new mode headlight beam irradiation in accuracy will be 100 times MULTIBEAM, because of the projection to enhance the accuracy of this Headlight sets of digital pattern may be projected some graphics. And the new ramp lighting function to obtain road information from the navigation map, follow the road downs adjust the lighting level.

do not know you have no such feeling, driving the more big car, the pressure in the line of sight from the more intense, especially at night, brightness, projection area, projection headlights uniformity better able to substantially reduce the burden on the driver.

In the vehicle body frame, the new S-class is also used the more the proportion of aluminum, so that the amplitude of the body weight loss reached

60kg

. Although some people may think, anyway, the cars are so big, you do not need the weight of material wealth, but on the contrary, more carts need to thin, no matter is more beneficial for driving performance and environmental performance.

When it comes to environmental performance, it would have to mention the wind resistance coefficient, drag coefficient of the lowest level of the new S can be done

0.22Cd

, also belong to 2020 extreme a low drag level. What are the benefits of low drag coefficient, which probably do not need to repeat it?

on power systems, Mercedes-Benz has not released much information preliminary offers are going to be six-cylinder engine, no accident, then the new S-class S 450 L will first supply and S 500 L in the Chinese market, are equipped with 3.0T twin-turbo straight six engine with 48V light mixed system, in fact, with the end of the W222 provides S 450 L and S 500 L is the same powertrain. In addition there will be a plug-in hybrid vehicles, pure electric life support of 100km.

[123 ]

generation was successful?

[123 ] as the world’s most important car line, S-class generation of success, a lot of criteria of. If you use to measure sales, no doubt, the new S-Class will still sell very well, because we buy the S-Class, more than just buy the product strength so simple even say, S-class products for the buyer’s purchase decision force , only an insignificant level.

S-class generation destined controversial, in addition to the dispute on the design, rutting monarch think this technology to package the Mercedes-Benz S-class is the most debatable. The digital age, these things do have to have, but they should not be the focus of the S-Class, not to mention some of the so-called “SectionTechnology “itself may not withstand too in-depth scrutiny. From this perspective, S-class generation is not likely to succeed.

[123 ]

the words of the new S-class upper and lower body is probably most people appreciate this beautiful hidden door handles, and both times, but also has delicate craftsmanship. If the new S-class body to have more similar details just fine.

gradually towards the electrification of the automobile era, there was a saying: W223 may be the last generation S-class, because after electrification EQS come, the new generation S-class will not necessarily continue in spite of rutting monarch agreed that this is not realistic, very unlikely. but I want to say is, if this is the last generation S-class, it is unlikely to go down in history.
