This is the Mercedes Generation EQ, an all-electric “close-to-production concept” that marks the launch of Mercedes’ new EQ sub-brand
The Generation EQ has two electric motors, one each for the front and rear axles. Merc promises a little over 400bhp and 516lb ft for the “most powerful variant” of the Generation EQ, which should see this all-electric SUV to 62mph in less than five seconds. Total battery capacity is 70kWh, and the range is said to be a Tesla-beating 310 miles. It can be charged wirelessly or via cable.
Predictably, there is much tech to talk about. The Gen EQ knows how sharp a corner is and can adjust your speed and the car’s dynamics accordingly. There’s car-to-X technology, too – so the Gen X can communicate with other vehicles and the infrastructure that surrounds it.
The exterior is very coupe-cum-SUV, with its tapered CLS-style rear-end and 21s. Inside it’s all very concept-y. There are no buttons or knobs whatsoever bar the seat controls (even the window switches and door handles are touch sensitive), and a big 24-inch TFT that doubles as the driver’s dial set and the main infotainment display. Integrated into the steering wheel spokes are two touch-sensitive OLED screens for flicking through menus. The exterior mirrors are cameras, and their images projected onto screens integrated into the doors.
