Mercedes-Benz has dropped the first official teaser of the upcoming Vision EQXX fully electric concept car dubbed as “the most efficient vehicle the brand has ever built”. The teaser reveals the aerodynamic profile of the EQXX and confirms its debut on January 3 in CES 2022 in Las Vegas.
From the side, the Vision EQXX looks like
a more production-ready evolution of the 2015 Mercedes-Benz Concept IAA with a
similar shaped window line, four doors, and a long sweeping tail. Unlike its
futuristic predecessor, the new concept comes with conventional mirrors, door
handles, and LED lighting units that are seemingly close to production.
Previously, Mercedes COO Markus Schafer
had disclosed that the prototype will have an remarkable real-world range in
excess of 1,000 kilometers or over 620 miles. Mercedes refers to the Vision
EQXX as a “software-defined research prototype” underscoring its aim to be a
leading brand in terms of electric mobility and car software. The concept was
realized in “record time” thanks to cross-functional development teams and will
use a “cutting-edge” electric drivetrain, and benefit from lightweight
engineering and sustainable materials. It is a part of a technology program
aiming “at breaking through technological barriers and lifting energy
efficiency to new heights” and will demonstrate “the gains that are possible
through rethinking the fundamentals from the ground up”.
We guess that Mercedes-Benz will continue
the teaser campaign before the world premiere that is scheduled for January 3,
2022, at 6.00 pm (CET) from the Mercedes me digital platform. Then, the
full-scale prototype of the car will be showcased at CES 2022 in Las Vegas
between January 5 and 8 as the main highlight of the Mercedes-Benz stand.
