Mercedes-Benz has released a new teaser image of the all-electric Vision EQXX prototype and confirmed that it will be unveiled on January 3, 2022. The German automaker first teased the vehicle back in late 2020 and in July, released a second teaser image of it. Member of the board of management of Daimler AG Markus Schäfer has now taken to LinkedIn to share a third teaser of the car while also announcing some new details about it.
According to Schäfer, the Vision EQXX is a
compact-class vehicle that can drive 620 miles (1,000 km) on a single charge in
real-world conditions. He added that it will also have an impressive
single-digit consumption figure for kilowatt-hours used per 100 km at normal
highway speeds.
Mercedes-Benz has also focused on making
the Vision EQXX as aerodynamically efficient as possible and suggests it will
have a lower drag coefficient than the EQS. The German automaker is also
working to increase the energy density at the cell level by a further 20 per
cent compared to the EQS. From a visual standpoint, this teaser shows that the
Vision EQXX will have LED headlights and an LED light bar across the front. It
will also lack traditional wing mirrors, and will have a sculpted hood and LED
taillights.
The carmaker hasn’t confirmed if the
Vision EQXX will spawn a production variant but even if it doesn’t, the
technologies that it debuts will undoubtedly find their way into future
electric vehicles from the Three-Pointed Star.
