Mercedes-Benz took the wraps off a concept electric van earlier this week, previewing a model that's slated to enter production soon. Shorter in length than a number of minivans offered in North America, the production version of the EQT is not expected to debut here.The EQT will be yet another electric Mercedes van, joining EQV electric passenger van, which is the electric version of the V-Class.Mercedes-Benz Concept EQT previews electric production model due in 2022, on a platform shared with the new Renault Kangoo and Mercedes Citan.You can unsubscribe from these emails at any time.īy clicking the submit button you agree to our T&Cs and confirm you have read our Privacy Policy.

It’s expected that a road-going version of the Mercedes Concept EQG will go on sale in around 2025. Mercedes EQG Concept price and release date It’s likely the new electric off-roader will come with similar 200kW charging technology as that car, allowing you to boost its range by around 190 miles in as little as 15 minutes. He also dropped hints that the new EQG would be capable of ‘turning on the spot’, suggesting new drive modes could allow the left- and right-hand wheels to turn in opposite directions, letting the car slew in a circle like a bulldozer. Mercedes hasn’t said whether this system will be available in the finished car, but Markus Schäfer (Mercedes’ Chief Operating Officer) confirmed that the EQG won’t just use motors and batteries lifted from the current EQS.

Mercedes has said that the EQG concept uses four electric motors, a redesigned rear axle and a new two-speed gearbox to make it just as capable when off-roading as the standard G-Class. This would suggest that the finished car might not come with a vast widescreen ‘Hyperscreen’ infotainment system like in the EQS and EQE, or that Mercedes isn’t ready to share how it plans to fit a colossal 56-inch display into the G-Class just yet… Mercedes EQG Concept batteries, range and performance The Mercedes EQG concept uses a similar cabin to the standard car. Electric Mercedes EQG Concept interior The new electric G-Class will modernise the current car’s cabin, shown here There’s no spare wheel at the back, rather a box designed to keep all your charging cables neatly organised. There are also light-up bars on each door instead of the standard car’s black rubber strips. You’ll spot an LED light strip at the top of the roof too, designed to be a modern take on the high-beam auxiliary lights you’ll see on plenty of full-bore off-roaders. Instead, you get a deep black panel that houses an illuminated Mercedes badge.Ģ2-inch alloy wheels are fitted to this concept - and will probably be an option on the road car - though expect Mercedes to also offer some smaller wheels that suit larger, chunkier off-road tyres. The round headlights remain, but the front grille is gone. There’s not a huge amount of difference between the current Mercedes G-Class and the Concept EQG, which shows it’s likely the existing 4×4 was designed with an EV version on the cards from the very start. This is the new Mercedes Concept EQG, which gives you a first look at an upcoming electric G-Class electric car.
