The Mercedes Vision EQXX is one of the most advanced concept cars of the star brand in recent years. An important novelty that has been on everyone’s lips since its introduction, thanks to the important novelties and technologies that it equips, but it does hold interesting secrets that we are going to tell you about.
Not all the concepts cars that are presented have the mission of advancing a new and specific model. The Mercedes Vision EQXX has debuted just a few days ago, and is already turning the box of the new models of the star brand. Some have thought that it is a preview of a future model with the Mercedes-Maybach seal, which would not be unreasonable if we look at the technologies it contains.
Others are already pointing to an electric Mercedes CLA, a model of which there is no knowledge whatsoever, since today the priorities of the star brand in the field of zero emissions are different. The truth is that the Vision EQXX has caused quite a stir, and it is not surprising. Because, above all, the 1000 kilometers of autonomy on a single charge that it can offer is like thinking of a special model. But make no mistake, if the Mercedes EQS offers 680 kilometers of autonomy, a new model with a thousand kilometers cannot be a compact.
The Mercedes Vision EQXX does not advance a new car in particular
The Vision EQXX contains many other surprises that we will see in future models of the star brand. And one is the design. Its front is a declaration of intentions that we have already seen, to a large extent, in the exclusive hypercar of the Mercedes-AMG ONE. Star brand electric futures will say goodbye to the ingrained and characteristic grille that identifies them as a Mercedes. Sharp light clusters joined by a thin light strip and diverting the ventilation to a dotted bumper, to the vertical gills at the ends, and in the sportiest the openings in the hood panel, are the new hallmarks. A radical change that we will see from the second half of the decade and closer to 2030.
Mercedes concept cars are also very interesting in terms of the interior, as certain details end up in the production models. And the Vision EQXX is packed with them. Virtually all models of the star have two screens on the dashboard, and the future will bet on a larger one that will extend from end to end. A new “Hyperscreen MBUX” that will reach 47.5 inches. The capacitive multifunction steering wheel is another feature that we will also see soon, and not only in electric futures, but also in combustion. Something that will not make you wait, because it will be one of the hallmarks of the facelift. The screens will grow at the same level as they do on the Chinese models that set the standard.
The sustainable materials in the interior will not mean doing without leather, but they will be a new option for customization for customers. As also the roof packed with solar cells that will allow an extra means of recharging for a specific battery for auxiliary elements, call it the lighting, air conditioning or the infotainment platform. By releasing these functions of the propulsion battery, up to 25 kilometers of autonomy will be added. In addition, the advance also features a 900V charging system, which will allow for faster recharging of one battery with 100 kWh capacity with 1000 kilometers of autonomy, news that will be subject to the most luxurious models.
