Mercedes has begun testing their new EV-exclusive
platform out on the snowy roads of Sweden. This seemingly GLC use the EVA modular platform which is destined
for use in the upcoming Mercedes EQ range of electric models.
The new EVA platform will
be able to adapt to different models, with the first one to be an electric SUV
as previewed by the original EQ Concept last September.
The EQ sub-brand is also planned to get at least one
more crossover and a sedan model, once their firstborn SUV model hits the
market in around 2019. The first EQ will rival models like the also upcoming
Audi Q6 and the Tesla Model S.
Mercedes’ plan is to create a family of EQ models,
much like what BMW did with the i sub-brand, featuring a unique design language
and targeting a different type of customer.
