最近谍照记者拍到了下一代奔驰S级在开放路面测试的视频，这次拍到的是两辆车同时进行测试，不过车身进行了重度伪装。虽然无法看清车身细节，但从车身尺寸判断，新车长度略微增加。车门把手进行掩盖，这表明车门把手很可能与车身齐平。车头可以看到一个硕大黑色面板，上面很可能设置了驾驶员辅助系统传感器。前大灯发出的紫色光芒表明该车很可能采用了奔驰的数字照明技术，它由超过百万微镜芯片组成，它可以引出一条指向前方对象的光，从而在减少对路人和行车的影响和伤害。新车内部采用了新的底盘，由于采用铝制和碳纤维增强塑料，因此即便尺寸增加，也有助于降低重量。早期谍照拍到了新车内部，显示在方向盘后面有一个硕大平板电脑，估计是仪表群。而空调出风口位置很高。这表明该车中控台很大一部分是一个数字显示屏。而后排座椅空间很充裕。目前预计奔驰将于2020年发布新一代S级，该车将作为2021款车型在美国上市。

 

2020 Mercedes S-Class Duo Spied Out On A Date Together

Mercedes-Benz does not want anyone getting a good look at the next-gen Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedan, even when the German company is testing the luxury sedan on public roads. While short, this spy video catches a pair of them cruising around the city.

 

The heavy camouflage and body cladding makes it very difficult to get a good idea of what the new S-Class looks like. In terms of size, the sedan appears a little longer, though. Covering the door handles suggests that Mercedes has something clever to hide there, like possibly making them flush with the body. Up front, a large black panel is likely a sensor for a next-gen driver assistance system. The purple headlight illumination is possibly from Mercedes' Digital Light technology that features over a million micromirrors to direct the light and avoid dazzling people.

 

Underneath the skin, the S-Class reportedly adopts a new chassis. A combination of aluminum and carbon fiber reinforced plastic would help it shed quite a bit of weight, even if the footprint is larger. Earlier spy shots caught the heavily camouflaged cabin of an S-Class test mule. The sedan features a gargantuan tablet in front of the driver for the instruments. The HVAC vents have mounting points that appear oddly high. This suggests a large portion of the center stack below them might be a digital display, too. The rear seats appear quite spacious, too.

 

The current speculation suggests Mercedes would introduce the new S-Class in 2020, and it might not arrive in the U.S. until the 2021 model year.
