Mercedes-Benz has started accepting orders
for the EQV electric luxury minivan in the United Kingdom, where deliveries
will commence this fall. The second member of the EQ sub-brand, after the EQC
crossover, is priced from £ 70,665, or US$ 91,592 at current exchange rates, in EQV
300 Sport guise.
In return, customers will get a
nicely-specced minivan with standard 17-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights,
reversing camera, MBUX infotainment system, Driving Assistance Package,
electric sliding doors, easy-pack tailgate, ambient lighting and a 8-meter charging cable.
If money is no object, then you could get
the EQV 300 Sport Premium mid-spec variant, which comes in at £ 72,895
(US$ 94,482). Compared to the Sport, it adds gear such as a 360-degree camera
system, smartphone integration, Table Package, Memory Package and EQV Exterior
Design Package. The range-topper is dubbed the EQV 300 Sport Premium Plus. It
starts at £ 77,145 (US$ 99,991) and comes with a Burmester surround sound system,
Airmatic suspension and 18-inch wheels.
All trim levels are powered by an electric
motor that generates 201 HP and 364 Nm of torque.
Top speed is 140 km/h, but can be increased to 160 km/h as an
option. The EQV features a 90 kWh battery pack placed in the underbody for
space optimization. It can be charged from 10 to 80 percent in 45 minutes,
should you find a fast DC charger, and offers a range of 343 km.
