Dancing on snow, the Mercedes-Benz EQA completes its test tests

Daimler AG is one of the constructors that has the greatest advantage in the race for electric mobility. Thanks to a billion dollar investment, they are launching products on the market that are ahead of their rivals. In this bet not only vehicles powered by batteries enter, we can also find hybrid and plug-in hybrid mechanics. The issue is to reduce the emissions of your portfolio as much as possible.

One of its most anticipated novelties is its new all road electric. Called Mercedes-Benz EQA and is framed in the compact area of its segment. The official presentation of the concept that anticipated it took place at the Frankfurt Motor Show from a couple of years ago. Now, after the arrival of the GLA Class, it is time for us to meet the production version of his alter ego powered by electricity.

Due to the coronavirus, the 2020 Geneva Motor Show has been cancelled. It was to be held from March 3 to 15.

La platform on which the Mercedes-Benz EQA is developed it is a variation of the one used by the GLA. So far, everything normal, but we do not know what aesthetic approach they have decided to give it. The concept was closer to the Class A and therefore there are doubts about its evolution. To solve them, in part, the firm of the star has published a series of spy images while performing validation test in snow.

Here we can see that maintains a muscular body and well proportioned. It is covered in a dense layer of camouflage so we cannot see many elements. The optical groups are torn, have Full LED technology and resemble those mounted on the GLA. Where we can put the accent is in the shape of the roof. Its fall is pronounced, very reminiscent of the configuration used by its thermal brother.

For now, Mercedes-Benz limits itself to confirming that your arrival will take place before 2020 come to an end. For this same reason, they are finalizing their validation tests in cold climates. With them, they want to check the thermal management of the battery and the passenger compartmentas well as cold charging. In addition, they also check how the all-wheel drive system and energy recovery behave on snow and ice.

After the cancellation of Geneva, it will be necessary to wait for its official presentation to take place, but we are sure you will like it. Those who will not be amused will be their rivals from Audi and BMW, who have not yet dared to take the step. And we already know what they say "Whoever hits first, hits twice".
