Brabus, the world-famous tuning brand for tuning Mercedes-Benz cars, recently released their aerodynamic kits and interior trim parts specially designed for the electric car EQS. Officials claim that taking the EQS 450+ model as an example, the wind resistance coefficient is lower after installation, and the battery life can be increased by 7% when driving at a speed of 100 to 140 kilometers per hour. The modification of electric vehicles is quite special. In order not to destroy the original warranty regulations, only the interior and exterior are upgraded, and these kits are common to all EQS vehicles. In addition to watching the excitement, prospective car owners can also pay special attention.
It is not the first time for Brabus to modify an electric car. Not long ago, it launched an exclusive appearance kit for the Porsche Taycan. However, considering the original factory warranty plan, it is only limited to the kit, and does not involve the body structure and power programming. Based on the above reasons, the modification kits specially launched for Mercedes-Benz EQS (parameters | inquiry | pictures) this time also only have interior appearance kits, emphasizing not on performance, but on improving battery life. Officially, the EQS 450+ is used as a modification example. After replacing the appearance kit specially designed by Brabus for EQS, in addition to changing the Mercedes-Benz logo into the B logo, the wind resistance coefficient is also reduced.
According to the official information given by Mercedes-Benz, the wind resistance of the EQS is as low as 0.20Cd. Although the official did not say how much the wind resistance coefficient was reduced after replacing with the carbon fiber kit specially designed for EQS, it only said that when the vehicle was traveling at a speed of 100 to 140Km/h, the battery life was increased by about 7%. Taking the EQS 450+ as an example, the officially announced WLTP battery life is 770km. After replacing the whole carbon fiber kit, the battery life increases by about 53.9 kilometers when the speed is between 100 and 140Km/h.
These kits include carbon fiber front air dam trim, carbon fiber front lower spoiler, carbon fiber rear lower spoiler, carbon fiber three-dimensional rear spoiler, carbon fiber side skirts, and air pressure reduction modules. In addition, the original factory also launched an exclusive 22-inch Brabus Monoblock Z Platinum Edition forged aluminum ring, with Brabus SportXtra suspension system, the front suspension can be lowered by 15mm when driving, and the rear suspension can be lowered by 25mm, which is improved by lowering the center of gravity. driving dynamics.
The changes in the car are not large, and the steering wheel has not been replaced. At present, only the interior-related trim panels are available.
As for the power, it has been said before, and it is not in the scope of modification and upgrading.
