Mercedes Benz Vision EQXX
Some concepts are on the pie-in-the-sky side and some aren’t. The Mercedes Benz Vision EQXX may belong in the latter category, with at least some of its features likely to appear on real-world EVs in the next few years.
The car is clearly a looker, but it’s also a highly efficient EV. An advanced body design with a super-low drag coefficient and advances in powertrain technology allow it a theoretical range of 621 miles. The longest-range production Tesla gets a little over 400.
And Mercedes said it will do it without making the battery especially large or heavy. Air channeled under the body cools the battery, allowing for less reliance on liquid cooling.
All that, and it has seats made out of mushrooms and a dashboard that stretches all the way across the car as a single bonded screen.
Specifications:
- Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX is a super-efficient electric sedan concept which is developed together with Mercedes AMG HPP team.
- EQXX is equipped with an 100-kWh battery pack that weighs only 450 kg, achieving an energy density of 400 Wh/l.
- Vision EQXX is one of the most aerodynamic vehicles on earth, delivers a drag coefficient of 0.17.
- Mercedes also includes 117 solar cells on the EQXX’s roof. This can add up to 25 km of range on long journeys in a single day.
- The German carmaker is considering a production version of the Vision EQXX to go mass production sometime in 2023.
