Wow what a spot to be in what a place to find yourself oh man that is vibrant
0:17
yeah on a dark night moving through the city like that oh it's on the seats you this right here
0:27
I don't know. This is like cyberpunk sunset. This car is amazing
0:40
Oh baby, it's got the studio going on. Think you have trouble parking this one
0:46
I don't think so. This is how you open the doors. Watch this
0:57
I could, I guess, pop this out. Oh my goodness gracious. I mean, I have a full out tablet at my disposal now
1:27
Thank you
1:57
that is the mercedes eqs in the studio this is mercedes
2:12
competition for the variety of exclusive and luxury electric vehicles that are out there this
2:21
thing has champion status i think at the moment for drag coefficient and also range it's got s
2:31
class luxury going on it's got an unusual kind of bluish color i haven't seen this one before
2:40
almost like a color changing aspect and the interior is white and displays are everywhere
2:47
I'm gonna just Okay That's good enough for me I'll take it
2:52
First of all With the blue Up top And the white And what is
2:57
Look at the wood I mean the finishes They thought about it
3:01
They did it I'm just gonna get in Hold on I'm gonna put my foot
3:06
On a brake real quick Stop it Stop it That's too easy
3:15
And look get the displays come to life over here all right we're gonna take a walk around first
3:22
before we do the whole interior but i had to show you that feature straight away
3:27
this little slot i've never seen anything quite like this that's windshield washer fluid in here by the way the rims are enormous apparently the rims
3:40
themselves some of these design elements here actually serve a purpose to improve that drag
3:45
coefficient as well another thing i noticed from the outside is this enormous section here which
3:50
is responsible for your heads up display which apparently is a big deal on this vehicle with all
3:54
kinds of navigation aspects and augmented reality aspects telling you where and when to turn and all
4:02
that stuff oh that is a big trunk and you can see that the seats fold down you're getting a lot more
4:11
cargo volume than on if you were to have a designated or separate trunk this is quite a lot
4:19
of volume oh my it's got a motorized i can hear the motor stopping it at different points
4:27
locking at different stages did anybody else notice this i watched a couple videos i didn't
4:36
see this mentioned this is that's quite nice so it stays nice and wide open over there granted i
4:43
mean with the super luxury vehicle i don't know that cargo is the top of your list for priority but
4:49
they obviously thought about it i mean you can carry some stuff certainly if you needed to the
4:55
rooftop plenty of glass up here big glass section and as you step away from it a little bit and
5:04
yze the shape, you start to recognize how all these decisions took that drag coefficient into
5:13
account. Like you're just seeing such a simple form here that's going to be cutting through the air
5:19
And you can kind of tell that that was a guiding principle as you're coming up with the lines here
5:26
The front, of course, no grill on it. You don't need one here. This is an all-electric vehicle
5:33
and they've kind of simulated one with these little mini Mercedes logos all throughout there
5:41
and if you look at these up close you can see they're an exact replica of the larger one here
5:46
I like the way they've integrated the front camera it's barely visible right inside of the
5:53
large Mercedes logo here but they still managed to make it look a little bit mean
6:00
with these sections on each side these fins over here give it a slightly more intimidating look you
6:09
see this rolling up behind you inside the headlights all kinds of activity including
6:15
a little digital light indicator the charge port is in i guess an unusual location amongst electric vehicles in the back rather than the front 31 minutes to 80 on a 200 kilowatt charger if you can find it so it can charge pretty quickly given the right equipment this
6:34
wide opening door thing and freezing at the wide open position it might be okay i can't call my
6:41
favorite feature i'm getting carried away here i know i like weird things but i like the ease
6:47
I jump in I jump out the door stays where I want it and it's predictable I think Mercedes knows its
6:54
customer with that particular feature so it's a fine little detail to many and certainly when you
6:59
see it on video but then you use it you're like oh my goodness that's a that's a nice feeling right
7:06
there it's like when you drink a refreshing drink you know the sound that you can't avoid making
7:14
holy cow when you get inside this thing you yes it's a car right but this merging of technology
7:30
and automotive it's apparent in here it really feels more like you're stepping into a piece of
7:38
tech then into a traditional vehicle and obviously the displays are a big part of that i can already
7:44
tell where they're going to be mapped out i also this blue color up here is just it's really doing
7:52
it for me futuristic blue this is the hue of the future let me hit the power button here we go
8:03
i mean come on on displays are everywhere this is I don't remember what the dimension was they said across
8:13
the whole thing it's one piece of material over top glass whatever happens to be but you can see
8:20
it's three distinctive display sections so directly in front of me here is the information
8:28
that's important to me as a driver of course I have my speed I have my heads up display up above
8:35
there which is fairly large i can tell immediately over here is going to be all of your important
8:44
info stuff so obviously your nav lives here i can see your climate lives here as well individual
8:51
climate selection there's a separate climate menu let's see how that goes oh interesting so i can
8:57
control climate up here i can control climate for the seats in the back i have air quality oh my
9:04
goodness gracious, energizing air control plus ultrafine particle reduced nitrogen oxide and odors. Air freshener. Oh baby we just turned on an air freshener. Oh I'm smelling
9:21
Am I smelling? It smells so good in here I don't know if I'm smelling. This display in
9:25
the center is large. That is a large display and it's interesting the way they had to cut
9:31
it at these angles to follow this shape all around it's like your whole view is taken up
9:39
I'm smelling freshness I'm smelling a little bit of freshness right now
9:44
of course we've also got some pre-entry climate control in here so you know you may want to have
9:51
it cool down prior to you jumping in it can do that the headrest how about a pillow let's just
9:57
put a pillow there. Why don't we? It's a comfy spot. Okay, cool. Some more controls exist up
10:04
here. I'm just noticing for some quick important stuff like lighting and an SOS button as well
10:11
Wait a second. There's a sunroof. Oh, I didn't even know. Oh, a swipe gesture and a fairly
10:20
substantial sunroof. Oh. A little shade there. Okay. Your seat is hot? No, you turned it on. I didn't do that, did I? I can turn on your heated seat
10:36
Stop it. Let's try that. I did just turn on your heated seat. A full control
10:43
I got control of Kirk right now. That's unbelievable. It's a lot to take in for myself
10:49
right now so if you have navigation open huge navigation display available to you and it
10:56
interacts with your heads up display to project a visual of turns superimposed on the road
11:03
in an augmented reality fashion oh this is off the usb playing video right now the floating leather surfaces are adding up to
11:23
pure luxury that's a nice display right there also the decor surfaces are a pure aesthetic treat
11:31
Oh, look at the amount of control on the vent. There's one of these actually on each side
11:38
And then in the center, we reach up and pull these little tabs right here
11:44
They've really done a good job of hiding these particular vents. What? Heart rate
11:51
So you can actually connect a wearable device, which is then going to be referenced inside the vehicle
11:59
It's going to be able to connect, I guess, via Bluetooth. Oh, baby
12:04
We are into the massage section for these seats. I have a substantial recline going on right now
12:14
A pillow on my head. And a hot, relaxing back. Now I just need a car to drive itself, right
12:26
No, I know I'm joking. i know you got hands ready to go how about the steering wheel very soft and supple and this white
12:34
interior mercedes does it well as far as the light interiors are concerned we have a volume control
12:41
we can pick up phone calls a little bit of navigation control this looks like your cruise
12:48
control you actually have paddle shifters as well which is kind of strange considering it an an electric vehicle Now you probably realize this at this point but I can take this for a drive just yet So there certain features which I not going to be able to test
13:01
Oh, seat kinetics, lumbar. Look at this. Get out of town. Look at this amount of control
13:08
Here comes the lumbar. Imagine coming up with this interface. Your job is to have a dinette
13:17
look it clicks with haptics as i move around and simply adjust the lumbar
13:25
side bolsters okay bolster me yes i take the seats really seriously green blue lighting in a cool
13:35
refreshing breeze let's try that oh stop it with the lighting all the way what i just had like a
13:43
little session i'm having a little relaxing session with the hues are oh my now i'm vibrating
13:54
i'm energizing it's a 360 audio experience wow there's all kinds of things happening in tandem I can only imagine this at night
14:30
when you have this like this light strip goes all the way around the dash all the way around
14:35
your body into the back This is unique
14:49
This is unique to Mercedes in this particular space. This showcases some of the tech
14:55
You can see here the distance control from the vehicle in front, driving assistance
14:59
active distance assist, dynamically selecting, comfortable. I mean, there's so much configuration available in here
15:07
Active brake assist, lane keep assist, blind spot assist. just what kirk needs on the highway with the commute right
15:14
it's stressful you need the assistance this is a fingerprint scanner to log you into your own personal settings simply with your fingerprint i just realized these are
15:27
quick toggle buttons as well to get you into specific settings let's take a look at the
15:33
camera select the view by touching the display oh baby it's got the studio going on
15:41
you think you have trouble parking this one i don't think so check this out
15:50
see if i'm gonna hit the curb i mean you wouldn't want to hit the curb or something like this but
15:58
This is how you're going to see. Back to auto mode. Wild
16:04
Very nicely done. Oh, here's how you select drive modes. Quite the ceremony that goes on here
16:12
So it's comfort by default. We switch to sport. Makes a little noise
16:18
Individual. Your own custom. So if I select here. Let's see. What can I tune up
16:24
Oh, everything. Everything. Drive. You can have it ask when you start the car what kind of mood you're in as well
16:31
What kind of drive mode you want to select each time. Holy cow, man, I'm just realizing how comprehensive this thing is
16:37
Like, I need, I think they need to, let me keep this for a week
16:42
What a cool, you can see. Look at my brake. The percentage of brake pressure
16:52
Same as accelerator. Wow. why just because look at i can see the degree of the turn of each of the tires 34 36 37
17:04
as i straighten them out holy cow this is how you open the doors watch this oh
17:20
yes i'm figuring this out okay oh i just noticed that the the seat belts have
17:39
red LEDs at nighttime so you can see it easier. The little details. This is another sort of raw
17:48
feeling wood surface and you slide this up to reveal some cup holders, a location to put your
17:58
key if you want to, two USB type-c's, and what looks like a wireless charge mat which is in an
18:05
actually useful location for once sometimes they're in weird spots i'll close that back down
18:12
and then we've also got this button here which opens up this storage location we'll spot for some
18:20
change fairly deep storage and also two more usb type c connectors lastly a big giant storage area
18:30
down here you can pass through the entire section and there's an elastic band over here i guess to
18:38
hold something down oh right here there we go oh look you can see the fragrance in there
18:45
because we had a freshener that's where the fragrance is hiding unbelievable not just one
18:51
multiple capabilities for the type of fragrance there's one lighting thing i want to reference
18:57
obviously with the energizing mode and things like this you will get a variety of lights showing
19:03
around the car's light system but then there's simple stuff which is useful like if you turn the
19:09
heat on you get a red light if i turn if i go colder i get a blue light moving across so you
19:16
immediately know whatever it was that you were touching i gotta hop in the back now oh my goodness I don know you might want to travel here you might actually prefer to travel back here of course i also got a big monitor i can get
19:30
content on here i can see my map my nav i can actually check the cameras i can pair a bluetooth
19:36
headset if i want to watch content and listen to something exclusive of what everyone else is
19:42
listening to whatever you have access to up there you have access to over here and you can see i
19:47
could just be chilling back here watching a video independently of whatever anybody else is doing
19:51
in the front row or even to my right hand side i'm also noticing that there is a og mini jack
19:58
headphone connector i got another tablet sitting here what happens if i power this on this is this
20:07
is i could i guess pop this out oh my goodness gracious i could i mean i have a full out
20:14
tablet at my disposal now I mean this counts as an extra potential content location so you can see
20:23
there's the driver side that's the main display the passenger display in front of that seat
20:30
this display in front of the rear left rear right and then the tablet itself which is what I'm on
20:36
right now and it all pops in here we have something else oh a wireless charger that is nice
20:44
so this is a very thoughtful wireless charger location as well for your passenger you can
20:52
imagine this thing being used as like a limousine and you would not mind getting picked up in this
20:59
vehicle from the airport as for certain so i was on the lookout for cup holders they are hidden in
21:06
there it's a little slide out tray with suspended bottoms so yeah you can definitely put your cups
21:12
in there as well book lights a lot of headroom too actually oh climate control over here as well
21:21
now the sound system in here is burmaster and there's a bunch of speakers all over the place
21:28
i'm familiar with burmaster i have a burmaster system in the tycan and it is
21:32
they're kind of incredible but i do want to hear how it sounds in here maybe this gets it
21:38
run for its money i imagine it could should be able to so let me hop back in the driver's seat
21:43
and play some music i think they had a song in here yeah from an unknown artist oh my god
21:51
That is very loud
22:05
Equalizer options. We have a little bass enhancement going on. Loudness normalization is set to medium
22:13
We can, of course, pinpoint where we want to send audio. If you have some passenger in the back that's sleeping or something
22:19
You can have the audio focused over here or you can move it to a more surround situation
22:27
Burmester is always giving you a tremendous number of options for audio performance
22:32
I mean, this is, yeah, it's like, it's almost like you would like to watch a movie over here
22:38
all right ladies and gentlemen that is a look at the new EQS all electric man the tech inside is
22:56
like I'm telling you I need a week with it to try out all the little variety of settings that exist
23:02
in there lighting schemes seat control massagers it's comprehensive they thought of a lot every
23:10
little detail that's mercedes that's luxury i really like what they did in this model we're
23:15
looking at it's interesting because as electric cars become the standard you start to fill in the
23:23
gaps with these options at every segment. This is ultra luxury and having sat in it now I'm realizing
23:33
wow that was missing. The other ones have been sporty or they've been utilitarian and there have
23:41
been luxury features but they didn't get the Mercedes luxury treatment. No that didn't happen
23:47
until now and it is a different level to it that you experience from the minute you step in there
23:53
or maybe even before that when the door swings open it's the whole combination of services that
23:59
you experience stepping into it that lets you know you're participating in something a little
24:04
different in a different take in an s-class like experience but electrified in the form of the eqs
24:11
this is the edition one i'm going to look forward to spending more time with it
24:16
this has been our first look thank you very much to mercedes for bringing it down what a time to be alive
