• Mercedes-Benz unveiled the Vision EQXX, an electric concept car with 620-plus miles of range.
• Its aerodynamic design and lightweight materials contribute to that efficiency, Mercedes says.
• The EQXX previews things Mercedes could incorporate into future electric cars.

Mercedes-Benz took the wraps off of a striking electric concept car on Monday. Meet the Vision EQXX.

Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX.Mercedes-Benz
You probably won't be able to buy a Mercedes exactly like the Vision EQXX anytime soon. But some of the advancements Mercedes developed here could make their way into your future electric Benz.

Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX.Mercedes-Benz
If range anxiety is the fear of running out of energy in an electric car, Mercedes wants the EQXX to be something like a chill pill.

Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX.Mercedes-Benz
Mercedes built the EQXX to be its most efficient car, it said — one that demonstrates that range anxiety could become a thing of the past.

Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX.Mercedes-Benz
The Vision EQXX should deliver at least 620 miles of driving range on a full battery, Mercedes says. That beats the rangiest electric car you can buy today (the $170,000 Lucid Air) by 100 miles.

Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX.Mercedes-Benz
If Mercedes' claims are true, the EQXX would beat the longest-range Tesla by more than 200 miles.

Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX.Mercedes-Benz
But Mercedes didn't just give the EQXX a gigantic battery pack and call it a day. It says it's engineered the EQXX to deliver more range using less energy.

Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX.Mercedes-Benz
Mercedes gave the EQXX a teardrop shape that lets it slip through the air even better than the EQS, the company's electric flagship. Mercedes says the EQXX is more aerodynamic than a football.

Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX.Mercedes-Benz
The EQXX also gets special tires that cut down on rolling resistance ...

Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX.Mercedes-Benz
... and lightweight magnesium wheels.

Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX.Mercedes-Benz
Mercedes made it a point to cut weight wherever possible. It chopped out excess material and used 3D-printed parts.

Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX.Mercedes-Benz
As a result, the EQXX weighs around 3,800 pounds, about a ton less than Mercedes' EQS sedan.

Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX.Mercedes-Benz
The company also developed a new battery pack and drivetrain to optimize efficiency.

Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX.Mercedes-Benz
Since the EQXX is geared more toward long road trips than track days, it makes relatively little power — just 200 horses.

Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX.Mercedes-Benz
Solar panels integrated into the EQXX's roof can add up to 25 kilometers (about 15 miles) of range under ideal weather conditions, Mercedes says.

Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX.Mercedes-Benz
It wouldn't be a Benz if it didn't have a luxurious cabin.

Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX.Mercedes-Benz
But the EQXX's interior, just like the rest of the car, is all about efficiency.

Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX.Mercedes-Benz
Mercedes filled the cabin with sustainable materials that it says lower the car's overall carbon footprint.

Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX.Mercedes-Benz
The door pulls are made from a vegan silk-like material, the company says.

Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX.Mercedes-Benz
The EQXX also sports vegan leathers made from mushrooms and cacti, according to Mercedes.

Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX.Mercedes-Benz
Some surfaces are made from recycled plastic bottles.

Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX.Mercedes-Benz
The Vision EQXX also offers a sneak peek at the future of Mercedes' in-car screens. The concept has a single massive display that stretches 47.5 inches across the dashboard.

Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX.Mercedes-Benz
We already knew Mercedes is getting serious about electric cars. The EQXX concept is yet another sign of what's to come in the automaker's battery-powered future.

So when does this vehicle come out? Oh yeah, it’s just a concept car. I can think up even better specs for the concept car I have in mind. But I’d recommend you don’t count on my concept car for your daily driver any time soon. Or even the Mercedes one.

 

[John K]

Is that Mercedes 25k car option?

That center grill would be a pain to clean.

I’m digging the front and the rear is growing on me. Looks fun to drive.

 

[Dusty]

Gotta be honest. The days of "concepts" are over.

I have zero interest in stuff unless it's gonna hit the street. Like, if they said this was coming out in 2024 I'd be like, "hmmm.. doubtful. But OK I'll keep an eye out.". But to just say, 'this is our concept of something we thought of.'... Well?

They may as well post CGIs of bigfoot eating a unicorn burrito.

At this very moment my aging
G wagon is in the MB shop. Im trying to nurse it along until my cybertruck number is called ….. in early 2024….. I hope !
I absolutely love my G but (when) they release an Electric G wagon, the value proposition of Tesla and the cyber truck will still win out for me.
MB will need years to prove that their EV’s will not be as maintenance/ repair hungry as their Ice vehicles .

[electricAK]

It's a gorgeous and great concept. But to be clear these are all renderings, right? Mercedes hasn't actually built this thing, they just imagined it.

I'm really happy to see the emphasis on reducing the drag coefficient. EV's need to be about efficiency.

Render but, a “buildable” render concept unlike some others.

It's not just a rendering. It apparently is a completely built prototype. It seems like lots of 3d printing for parts. Here's a video of a guy from Fully charged.

 

[DMC-81]

Meh. It looks like a Porsche/Subaru mashup from the front, and a Volvo from the rear (which in my opinion is awful looking). To me, it doesn't even look like a Mercedes and is definitely not an inspired concept.

 

[braddibbnd]

And by the time they would ever start producing a car like this, 1000km range with no be a big thing. Yeah, it might be nice to not have to charge if your a 20 year old wanting to get from point A to point B in a big hurry, but as Elon has said 300 miles(500km) is enough range. The ability to do a fast charge to 80-90% will be the metric that most educated consumers want to know.

 

[Crissa]

If it's just a model, then why have stats?

I don't agree.
Wouldn't you want to have a 1000 mi range and fast charge time from 20% to 90% for up to 10 min?
The best way if no charge needed! No wasting time on a charge, unlimited range. (Nuclear reactor in the bed? )
