The fate of Mercedes-Benz's two flagships has already been decided and CEO Ola Kalenius recently revealed the brand's plans to Autocar, explaining that the EQS and S-Klasse will merge into one model, and this will happen by 2030.
Based on the MB.EA Large platform, the new generation S-Class, which will appear at the end of the decade, will necessarily bring with it as many technological innovations as possible.
Now, a render has surfaced online showing us what the future S0Klasse will look like= The image published by motor1 shows that the future S-Class will have a completely different design compared to the current EQS.
Mercedes-Benz plans to abandon the soft lines characteristic of the current models of the EQ series. The company has not yet revealed the styling philosophy of its future cars, but it is likely that Mercedes-Benz designers will be guided by the example of BMW and Audi, whose electric models combine a futuristic appearance with conservative elements, not far from models with internal combustion engines .
So the new Mercedes-Benz S-Klasse can have more angular shapes. The large grille will remain and can be illuminated, and the brand's logo will traditionally be placed on the hood. Muscular side panels and cameras instead of mirrors can also be used to improve aerodynamics.
It is difficult to predict what technological innovations will be in the new Mercedes-Benz flagship, as the S-Class has always been a pioneer in innovation not only for the brand, but for the entire automotive world. The next generation is likely to show advanced solutions with an emphasis on autonomous driving.
As for the power tract, we can expect the debut of a new generation of batteries (perhaps solid-state) with increased energy density and efficient electric motors. The brand's top-of-the-range internal combustion engines will also be available.
