Mercedes-Benz continues to set precedents with its range of electric vehicles. How is Vision EQXX, the most autonomous car in the world. Will it make it to production?
Can you imagine driving from Seville to Barcelona or from Barcelona to Paris or from Paris to Berlin on a single battery charge? Why not do it from Milan to Rome round trip or from Naples to Turin? Yes, from north to south through Italy with complete autonomy. Stuttgart, city of the constant commitment to break the brands that matter today.
In the new era of electrification, autonomy is the concept that defines the cars of this decade, the parameter from which manufacturers start to be at the forefront and overcome their own and others’ precedents. In this context, even the Mercedes-Benz EQE 2022 of up to 660 km does not seem to have a chance of competing with the most autonomous German model in Europe and, why not, in the world.
It is true that before the arrival of the Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX China had already made history by reaching 1,000 km of autonomy with the Aion LX, GAC’s SUV presented in 2021. As true as the utility works with a 144.4 kWh battery. That is where the EQXX, also with four figures of travel without recharging in between, makes the difference.
The most efficient Mercedes-Benz.
Known from Stuttgart as “the most efficient Mercedes”, what distinguishes the Vision from the Aion LX is that its autonomy of more than 1000 km is carried out not with a battery equivalent to that of the Asian vehicle, but with one of only 100 kWh. Thus, according to the German brand, a single charge is enough to use the car from home to work and from work to home for a whole month.
But it is not the only data that explains why this Mercedes of 1755 kg is capable of moving such a distance working with 30 percent less kilowatt hours. Its other virtue is found in the section of the aerodynamics. Its body of ultralight materials added to its coefficient of 0.17, 0.02 points less than that of the volkswagen xl1is also because of your achievement.
With these characteristics, the Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX, beyond being a prototype with no immediate future for series production, equals the record of the GAC SUV in terms of number of kilometers with only one battery charge, but surpasses it with its 100 kWh energy accumulator. The German manufacturer, which had already made headlines with your Level 3 self-drivingkeep aiming for the cars of tomorrow.
