The Vision EQXX is a new Mercedes electric concept that will have a range of over 600 miles (1,000 km), which is enough to cross from Berlin to Paris with a single charge.
The Vision EQXX is powered by an electric motor that develops 201 hp, and the drive is so efficient that 95 percent of the energy ends up on wheels. The car also has a 117-cell solar panel, which provides energy for the HVAC system, lights and infotainment system. A separate lithium-iron-phosphate battery stores energy and, in ideal conditions, can offer 25 kilometers of extra range.
Mercedes has equipped the EQXX with air curtains, covers and moving elements including a rear diffuser that pulls out at higher speeds, Bridgestone tires with ultra-low rolling resistance. Inside, there’s an 8K resolution 120.6cm screen with a navigation system with 3D graphics showing the city from a “satellite perspective” up to 10 feet high.
The EQXX is a compact sedan 463 cm long, while its wheelbase is 280 cm. For comparison, the G-Class is 475 cm long, while the length of its wheelbase is 286.51 cm. The EQXX is also quite light by electric vehicle standards, weighing 1,750 kg, which means it is only slightly heavier than the C300 sedan, which weighs 1,675 kg.
It is unknown at this time when the production version will be released.
