Shortly after the world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show, the Mercedes-Benz's Concept EQV completed its first urban journey in the Port of Barcelona. The vehicle is aimed equally at families, sports enthusiasts or quality shuttle services.
In addition to its design, the Concept EQV stands for practical, everyday, and local emission-free electromobility. The technical highlights include a range of up to 400 kilometres and an integrated rapid charging function. This means that sufficient energy for about 100 kilometres can be charged in about 15 minutes.
The Concept EQV is driven via the front axle by a compact electric powertrain with an output of 150 kw. and with a top speed of 160 km/h. Energy is supplied by a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 100 kWh. This is installed in the underbody of the vehicle, providing the full space in the interior for passengers.
Earlier this year, Mercedes-Benz launched the EQC, the first vehicle under the EQ brand.
Quality, safety, and comfort are accompanied by dynamic performance, thanks to two electric motors at the front and rear axles with a combined output of 300 kW. An operating strategy enables an electric range of 445 - 471 km. EQ also offers comprehensive services with Mercedes me, and makes electromobility convenient and suitable for day-to-day motoring.
