According to Mercedes-Benz Korea on the 28th, the newly launched EQS 350 in Korea comes standard with safety and convenience features found in the higher-tier EQS 450 Plus, such as the Driving Assistance Package Plus and Energizing Air Control Plus. The new EQS lineup is notable for significantly raising its own safety standards. Considering it is an electric vehicle, advanced technologies have been applied from the body structure and battery design to various driving assistance systems and safety features.

Mercedes-Benz develops safety devices based on crash tests. The Automotive Safety Technology Center, established in 2016, conducts simulations and actual crash tests on vehicles just before mass production, exceeding legally required levels. Approximately 900 crash tests are conducted annually. They perform over 40 detailed evaluations required for vehicle grading and certification in various countries worldwide.

The new car uses aluminum with a high energy absorption rate not only on the exterior surface but also on the body. The vehicle floor is made of high-strength steel components to enhance safety.
