Some things make you sit up and take notice. Were an alien to suddenly appear and ask directions to the nearest post office, for example, most people would stop what they were doing and have a good stare. Similarly, anyone driving the car this Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX concept will become is guaranteed their share of glances, because it looks like nothing else on the road.
In concept form, the EQXX is a luxurious four-door coupé with a swept-back, low-slung appearance, with a tapered rear end and large air intakes in the corners of its front bumper – all designed to help it slip through the air easily.
The numbers back up the EQXX’s 22nd-century styling, because it will have the longest range of any
electric car. The current record holder, the
Mercedes EQS luxury limo, can officially manage up to 484 miles in 450+ form. The EQXX, in comparison, promises up to 620 miles between charges – enough to drive the car from Mercedes’ HQ in Stuttgart back to London without stopping for a top-up.
So around $200,000 !!!? hmmmn
