Efficiency redefined: Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV

Aerodynamics are critical to the distances achievable in electric vehicles. Every element of the all-electric EQS SUV, for example, is carefully considered to reduce air resistance and extend driving range. Flush door handles create a seamless exterior that minimises disruption to airflow. Specially designed outside mirrors and running boards further enhance the vehicle's sleek aerodynamic profile.

The 21-inch light alloy wheels are designed with precise aerodynamic considerations, reducing turbulence and improving the vehicle’s overall efficiency. The result? An all-electric SUV with a remarkable 0.26 drag coefficient and an impressive NEDC-tested driving range of around 559km.

Future of motion

Superior aerodynamic design isn’t limited to these vehicles – it’s present across multiple classes and body configurations at Mercedes-Benz.

Across our range, design factors such as an optimised external shape and underbody, spoilers and slits on wheel arches, efficiently designed front and rear aprons, light-alloy wheels with low air resistance, and aerodynamically optimised exterior housings for mirrors and door handles minimise drag and maximise efficiency.

From the performance-driven AMG GT 63 Coupé to the range-focused EQS SUV, these vehicles showcase how sophisticated aerodynamic design can transform the driving experience by working in harmony with natural forces to improve efficiency, stability and safety.
