Up to 7 percent more range, but at speed
In general, tuners are not known for making cars more efficient than they were. Certainly not Brabus, but the same tuner shows to be quite versatile. It presents a visually dramatic version of the Mercedes-AMG EQS 53 4Matic that goes further than the original.
Anyone who is fortunate enough to be able to shop at Mercedes-Benz for an electric EQS ​​will return home with a liftback with a decent electric range anyway. As an EQS 450+, the electric alternative to the S-class kicks it up to a range of no less than 762 kilometers. The version with the shortest electric breath is the most potent: the Mercedes-AMG EQS 53 4Matic+ with no less than 761 hp of electric power. It is precisely that variant that the German tuner Brabus is tackling. With special result.
Brabus naturally hangs the AMG variant of the EQS full of lips, edges and spoilers. This time, they aren’t just aimed at increasing downforce, but at improving the way the already slippery EV cuts through the air. For example, Brabus gives the EQS a front lip that increases stability at high speed, but also produces less air resistance. For the rear wheels, Brabus applies visual extras that improve airflow. At the bottom of the back we see a diffuser and a rear spoiler that should make the EQS-on-steam more stable.
The Mercedes-AMG EQS 53 4Matic gets new 22-inch light metal and an addition to Mercedes’ Ride Control, which brings the EQS 1.5 centimeters closer to the asphalt at the front. The lowering at the rear is 2 centimeters. According to Brabus, the adjustments are so far-reaching that the Cd value of 0.20 is improved by no less than 7.2 percent. In principle, the EQS 53 can travel a maximum of 563 kilometers on a full charge. According to Brabus, the better aerodynamics give the Mercedes-AMG EQS 53 4Matic up to 7 percent more range at speeds between 100 km/h and 140 km/h. Brabus had previously developed the adjustments for the regular EQS.
