The new Mercedes Vision EQXX concept has been teased again. It will boast a sleek-coupe aerodynamic body design that will enable it to travel 750+ miles
The future of Mercedes-Benz electric cars will be showcased on January 3, at the CES 2022 in Las Vegas. More than a year ago, Mercedes had teased an the EQXX and claimed that it would have a staggering 750+ miles range..
The German marquee has teased the EQXX again, and this time its more than just a silhouette. The new car will boast a super-low drag coefficient, courtesy of its elongated rear end. Much like the concept 2015 Volkswagen XL1, which had a lower drag-coefficiency of 0.19, that enabled it to travel 313 mpg with a diesel engine.
Coming back to the Mercedes Benz Vision EQXX, the latest teaser shows a series of side profile images and one with the front fascia. It was clear from the silhouette image that the new EV will have a long and sleek body. This is a design was co-developed by Stuttgart and AMG-High Performance Powertrains, and it was with a purpose. Instead of increasing the battery capacity, which will add unnecessary weight, the project's engineers reduced the aerodynamic efficiency with a smoother body. The technical specifications havent been released yet, but the EQXX will showcase a new sizeable battery with increased energy density. Marcus Schaffer, the Chief Technology Officer of Mercedes-Benz has claimed that the battery will be 20% denser, compared to that of the EQS'.

The teasers do a good job in keeping most of the design under wraps. But some of the key features that stood out were the front faux air-vent and the new logo position on the front hood. These design features will remind you of the Mercedes-AMG One. The sleek front-end also boasts an LED strip that is stretched in between the headlights. They in turn appear to take on the three-pointed stars. Another design feature that stands out, as mentioned before, is the elongated rear-end with the taillights and turn lights, integrated into them.
It has been confirmed that the Mercedes Benz Vision EQXX will use electronic technology from F1. The exact influence is yet to be confirmed. Being a production concept, it is unlikely that the Vision EQXX will go into production. However, future Mercedes-Benz EQ models will definitely seek design and inspiration from the concept.
