2024 Mercedes-Benz EQS trims

2024 EQS

Mercedes has added some new features to the EQS line for 2024 including a new braking system with regenerative software, the MBUX Hyperscreen now standard on all trims, power open-close charging port door, comfort rear armrest with wireless charging, heated rear seats, active ambient lighting, and a heat pump to heat the cabin. Upgraded battery chemistry allows the battery to hold more energy even though the battery remains the same. The trims with dual motors also gain a function called intelligent disconnect, which disengages the front motor to reduce drag caused by the powertrain and range improvement. Range has also been improved by the heat pump which lets the motors conserve more energy instead of using that energy to heat the cabin.

About B-Class

The Mercedes-Benz B-Class first appeared as a European model in 2006 as a hatchback smaller than the C-Class. Despite the gasoline-powered B-Class being available in many international markets and even Canada, the model was not included in the United States model line from 2006 to 2013. In 2014, Mercedes-Benz finally added the B-Class to the United States marketplace. However, the vehicle was only offered as an all-electric vehicle. The Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive or B250e was made possible thanks to the German automaker pairing with Tesla Motors. Tesla supplied the Mercedes-Benz hatchback with a 123-kW electric motor producing the equivalent of 177 horsepower. A lithium-ion battery pack provides the B-Class Electric Drive the ability to travel up to 87 miles per charge. Capable of accommodating up to five passengers, the interior of the Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive can be arranged to fit 51.4 cubic feet of cargo. Standard amenities include dual-zone automatic climate control as well as a seven-inch central display. Beyond the 2016 model year, rumors suggest Mercedes-Benz will be dropping Tesla Motors as an electric powertrain supplier in favor of new technology delivering greater range potential.
