For 140 years, Mercedes‑Benz has been shaping the future of mobility, beginning with the invention of the automobile. In the new EQS, this claim to technological leadership can once again be experienced: just a few months after its market launch, it will be available with steer-by-wire technology. As the first German car manufacturer, Mercedes-Benz will thus offer a production vehicle with this technology. Steer-by-wire technology elevates the driving experience to a new level and fundamentally transforms the interaction between human and vehicle. Precise, intuitive and effortless – that's how the new generation of steering feels in the new EQS. The completely new steering feel provides a unique experience and offers a wide range of advantages in everyday driving – driving dynamics benefit from it, while manoeuvring and parking become even easier. This is because the effort required can be further reduced and there is no longer a need to adjust the grip on the steering wheel. Undesired vibrations caused by uneven road surfaces, which were previously transmitted to the driver via the steering wheel, can now be eliminated. The tyre-road contact is calculated on a model-by-model basis with the help of the restoring forces of the steered wheels. Precise, intuitive steering feel is maintained, preserving the characteristic Mercedes‑Benz steering. Steer-by-wire also gives the interior a new look: a flatter steering wheel noticeably opens up the space, improves the view of the driver display and makes it easier to get in and out of the car. This reinforces the brand’s signature “Welcome home.” feeling from the very first moment.
