Latin America is a fundamental part of the electrification strategy proposed by Mercedes, with which it seeks to become carbon neutral by 2039.
Through technological development, production, extraction of raw materials, useful life and recycling, are a fundamental part of the roadmap of the prestigious German brand.
In Chile, the renowned Mercedes-Benz S-Class already has its electric version on the streets. With a completely new architecture, the EQS stands out for the aerodynamics of history and the longest range in the market, reaching 780 kilometers.
The electrified model features great technology, design, functionality and connectivity. It has a power output of up to 333 hp (245 kW) and is equipped with more than 350 sensors, which allow it to react to possible dangers, as well as to identify driver behaviors in terms of distance, speed and acceleration.
