Not only Eqe. All electrical plans from Mercedes-Benz
Mercedes-Benz will bring the electric version of the E-Class to the Iaa in Munich. There will also be the bad Amg variant of the Eqs, a concept crossover of the Maybach Eqs, one of the Smart crossover and finally the new Eqb. The Star's strategy aims at carbon neutrality by 2039
With car manufacturers committed to accelerating on the road to electrification to achieve the goal of reducing dependence on thermal engines – in some cases with early deadlines compared to the regulations under discussion within the EU – in the coming months we will see many new zeroes arrive. emissions. In some cases, variants of cars already in production, in other cases models designed from scratch to be battery-powered only. The IAA – the Munich motor show that replaced that of Frankfurt and which will open its doors on 6 September – will be an important showcase in this sense, also due to the fact that it will be the first live show dedicated to the car after the long stop. imposed by Covid. Among the debut models is the EQE, the Stella's first fully electric sedan. In fact, the battery version of the E-Class, despite being born on a different platform.
THE NEW MERCEDES EQE
EQE's assumption is that sedans will still play a key role in the luxury car market. It is no coincidence that, despite the proliferation of SUVs and crossovers, they continue to hold the point in their respective segments. Waiting to unveil it live on September 6 in Munich, Mercedes has released a teaser that anticipates its forms. The platform on which it will be born is the Eva, which Mercedes has destined for electric cars with a range of up to 700 kilometers. The body design, although only partially guessed by the teaser, appears devoid of sharp corners. The passenger compartment is characterized by the digital dashboard, similar to that
of Eqs. This is the MBUX Hyperscreen, consisting of a curved OLED screen with areas for the instrument panel, the once physical controls housed on the center console and the passenger controls. The EQE will have to contend with opponents of the caliber of the Audi A6 e-tron and the future electric BMW 5 Series. From Stuttgart they let it be known that it is an imposing car, comfortable with great driving dynamics and high performance. The entry into production is scheduled for 2022.
THE MERCEDES ELECTRIC OFFENSIVE
The upcoming one will be a real electric offensive by Mercedes: in Stuttgart they have set themselves the goal of leading the electrification process among car manufacturers. An offensive started from the SUV range: the first blow was the EQC, followed shortly after by the compact EQA. And Eqb is also coming. The electrification process involves segments not touched so far as that of off-road vehicles – the zero-emission version of the Mercedes G-Class will arrive in 2024 – for which the electric could be the only lifeline from extinction also imposed by the stringent anti-pollution regulations. . The Ambition2039 industrial plan set the achievement of carbon neutrality of the German brand on that date. In the near future of the Star there will be electric cars with ranges of up to 700 km such as Eqs, Eqe and the related SUV variants, built on the EVA platform (Electric vehicle architecture). They will be flanked by electrified models with different hybrid systems, which will be born on MMA modular architecture platforms. To finish with the ambitious Vision Eqxx project, which aims to increase the efficiency of vehicles to reach ranges of around 1,200 km, to be obtained by increasing efficiency without increasing the power and size of the batteries.
THE OTHER ELECTRIC NEWS FROM MERCEDES
Mercedes will not only bring EQE to Munich. At the Stella stand there will be four other electric innovations starting from the bad variant of the Eqs branded Amg. An extremely luxurious concept will also be offered for the Stuttgart flagship, this time with the Maybach brand, proving that Mercedes intends to reposition itself in the higher luxury sector as well. There will obviously be the Eqb, of which we already know everything and which will arrive in showrooms at the end of the year: 468 centimeters long, it will also be available in seven seats with a range of 419 km. Furthermore, the Iaa will be an opportunity to unveil the concept of the future Smart crossover, a segment B model based on the Sae electric platform of Geely, the Chinese brand that has shared ownership of Smart with Mercedes-Benz since January 2020.
