Mercedes-Benz’s EQA concept vehicle, announced at the Frankfurt Motor Show, shows their “electric initiative is gathering pace”. With a range of 400km’s, permanent all wheel drive and its stunning looks featuring laser fibre lights, the EQA is a real show stopper.

As the company says “Mercedes-Benz Concept EQA proves that we are serious about introducing electric mobility throughout the portfolio”.

 

 

Here are some more features and specifications of the Concept EQA :-

All-electric and compact: The Concept EQA is Mercedes-Benz’s first all-electric EQ concept vehicle in the compact EV segment.

Innovative light technology: When it comes to the lights, Mercedes-Benz has opted for laser fibres. The spiral-shaped light signet underlines the electric concept, its design evoking the copper windings of an electric motor and the animation visualising electrical impulses.

Powerful electric drive: Two electric motors, with a system output that can be increased to over 200 kW thanks to scalable battery components, and permanent all-wheel drive deliver impressive dynamic performance. The two drive programs offer a choice of individual drive characteristics.

Real-world range: In combination with the intelligent Mercedes-Benz operating strategy, the Concept EQA achieves a range of around 400 kilometres, depending on the battery capacity installed.

Convenient charging: The Concept EQA can be charged via induction or wallbox and is also ready for rapid charging. The vision for using public charging stations is “seamless charging”: this Mercedes me-based service makes it easy for the customer to charge and pay at different charging stations.

Electric aesthetic: The Concept EQA is another example of the logical evolution of the Sensual Purity design idiom: sharp edges and lines have been significantly reduced. The black panel at the front acts as a virtual radiator grille whose look changes according to the drive program.
