Mercedes-Benz announces the next electric model it will launch

La electric offensive at Mercedes-Benz there is no turning back. Daimler AG wants to be at the forefront in the premium segment and this implies agility in the development and launch of products. It is for this reason that in his "Ambition 2039" plan makes it very clear that it will offer a “CO2 neutral” fleet in less than 20 years. This ambitious goal will only be possible by incorporating hybrid, plug-in hybrid and electric versions into its extensive portfolio.

The first step for this was taken some time ago by establishing the new Mercedes EQ sub-brand. Behind it are products such as the EQC (manufactured in Bremen and Beijing) and the EQV (assembled in Vitoria – Spain). Well, this new division will host six new releases that, for the year 2022 they will make their range consist of eight EQ versions. And it is not the only thing they have announced, because we already know when the first one will be presented.

Mercedes-Benz will present the new EQA on January 20, 2021

As announced by Mercedes-Benz next January 20 we will meet the new EQA. This electric SUV, which is technically related to the GLA, will be manufactured at the Rastatt center. Later, units will also leave the factory that the German firm has in Beijing (Beijing Benz Automotive Co). The second novelty comes from the hand of the new EQB, which in its case will be manufactured in the centers of Kecskemét (Hungary) and Beijing.

Third will come the mercedes eqe. The battery version of the Class e It is scheduled for the second half of 2021 and will be manufactured in Bremen and Beijing. At a technical level, it will be based on the EVA platform, the same one that will also give life to the Eqs. Precisely this model will be official in the first half of 2021. It will leave the "Factory 56" in Sindelfingen (Germany) and is called to compete against the Tesla Model S and Porsche Taycan.

Mercedes-Benz publishes several "spy" photos and data of the new EQ range

Returning to the fashion segment we have the EQE-SUV y EQS-SUV. Both derive from their respective sedan body versions, although with a more muscular image. Your arrival will take place from 2022 although its production will be located in America. This is because this continent will be their main market and for this, they will carry out the adaptation of the assembly line that they have located in Tuscaloosa (USA).

Taking into account the offensive that Mercedes-Benz is preparing, it seems that its rivals are lagging behind. Will have to see the Audi and BMW response although the latter is already outlining its release schedule. But be careful, we cannot lose sight of Lexus or Jaguar with your new proposals.
