AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)05/09 Report--

Soon after the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class was listed in China, a car owner had the first domestic collision due to negligence. According to a post by Mercedes-Benz S-Class owners on the forum, the owner was driving a new S-Class on May Day. "S-class comfort plus advanced intelligent driving assistance makes it super easy to sleep", resulting in a collision at the exit of the highway service area. fortunately, five people on board were not injured. According to the owner, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class has not been licensed yet. I was originally scheduled to be licensed on the 6th, but now I have to wait another month.

Judging from the pictures released by the car owner, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class hit the left and right guardrail at the exit of the highway, resulting in damage to its front bumper and wing panels on both sides, the loss of right headlights and a flat tire on the right front wheel. From the point of view of the appearance, the damage to the front is not very serious, and there is no particularly obvious deformation of the bumper, but the whole car rub is still quite serious, the rims may need to be replaced, and the front suspension is also seriously deformed.

Judging from the photos of the accident, there was basically no squeeze in the car, but the airbags of the lead and co-driver, knee airbags and front and rear head air curtains were all opened, ensuring the safety of the passengers to a certain extent. However, as a luxury car, the maintenance cost of these airbags is not low.

According to the owner, the speed was about 70km at that time, and there were a total of five people in the car, because they were all wearing seat belts, so the passengers in the car were not injured. After the accident, the vehicle SOS automatically called the rescue phone, the owner of the car was awakened by the sound of the phone, and rescue workers rushed to the scene quickly.

It is understood that as it is a unilateral accident, the car owner will compensate the road administration for 12000 yuan. At present, the accident car is still re-damaged, and the owner estimates that the accident maintenance cost is more than 200000 yuan. As the new car has just been on the market and there are no domestic accessories to be ordered from Germany, it is estimated that it will take a month to pick up the car.

It is understood that the new S-Class has been officially listed in January this year, with a price range of 89.98-1.8188 million yuan. The new Mercedes-Benz S-Class adopts a new family design language, and part of the classic three-frame medium net design on the front face has been retained, but the edges are more rounded and the shield-shaped forward air grille with the largest area makes the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class a little younger.

The interior has changed a lot. The new Mercedes-Benz S-Class interior not only highlights the luxury atmosphere, but also incorporates more technological elements, such as a huge central control vertical screen, and rearranges the dashboard structure. the driver uses a stand-alone LCD dashboard in front of the driver. In the power section, the new S-class will be equipped with 3.0T L6 and 4.0T V8 turbocharged engines, both equipped with a light mixing system, matched by a 9AT gearbox.

As far as this accident is concerned, the safety of Mercedes-Benz S-Class is still commendable, but this incident also tells us that whether Mercedes-Benz or other brands, do not believe too much in the so-called driving assistance functions, the current relevant technology is not mature, the control of driving vehicles should still be in their own hands.
