\nThe Mercedes-Benz Concept EQA is the brand\u2019s first all-electric EQ Concept car for the compact vehicle segment.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mercedes-Benz intends to produce ten EQ models by 2022, three of which will have the Smart brand. The announcement of the Concept EQA proves that Mercedes-Benz are serious about introducing electric mobility throughout their range of vehicles.<\/p>\n

Embracing the evolution of the Mercedes-Benz \u2018Sensual Purity\u2019 philosophy<\/a>, the sharp lines and edges usually seen on newer Mercedes models, have been greatly reduced in the Concept EQA.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For the lights, Mercedes-Benz chose innovative laser fibres. The black digital panel at the front of the vehicle, acts as a virtual radiator grille, with a variable appearance, depending on the drive program. The two drive programs available offer a choice of individual drive characteristics.<\/p>\n

Using two powerful electric motors, the Mercedes-Benz Concept EQA achieves a range of around 400 kilometres, depending on the battery capacity. The vehicle can be charged via induction or wallbox and is also ready for rapid charging.<\/p>\n

The first series-produced model of the new EQ product brand<\/a>, the EQC, is set to be produced at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Bremen from 2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
