Things as they are, the Mercedes-Benz EQV It will not be the most demanded model in the catalog of the Bavarian firm. The strategy they pursue with him is simple: show their premium rivals who is the leading builder in terms of electric mobility. To do this, since it was presented at the last Geneva Motor Show, they have not stopped communicating information about it.
The most important affects Spain, because it will be assembled in the factory that they have in Victoria (Basque Country). However, we still did not know the final model that, to our delight, is already here. In this way, they position themselves as the only manufacturer that offers a premium van, for passenger transport, completely electrical. Hence, the Mercedes-Benz EQV is of vital importance to your plans for the future.
The Mercedes-Benz EQV is the first electric premium van
As we already talked about when they presented the prototype in Geneva, the hairsalon of the Mercedes-Benz EQV it is not revolutionary. Maintains the basic proportions of the V-Class, model on which it is developed. In addition, it is a basic and essential premise, if they want to maintain a passenger compartment, and cargo space, leading in the segment. However, it stands out for the format of its optical groups equipped with LED technology.
La front grill gains in elegance, as it incorporates inserts in shiny black and chrome. The lower bumper air intake is correctly sized and flanked by chrome eyebrows. The hatch that gives access to the socket to charge the batteries It is located in the front left area, before reaching the wheel arch. The last detail that indicates what model we are dealing with is the anagram EQV located under the "A" pillar.
Elegant, quality interior with lots and lots of space
Despite being in front of a vehicle intended for passenger transport, Mercedes-Benz has taken care of every last detail. It is true that the basic design of the EQV is the same as the V-Class, but the execution quality it is arrogance In this way, it presents high-quality materials and fit that extends to the carpet that lines the trunk. All this, crowned by the MBUX infotainment system generation.
The only difference between the Mercedes-Benz EQV and the rest of the models that equip it, lies in the fact that here there is a single screen of 12,3 inches in horizontal position. Still, the inside capacity of the German model does not vary, being able to accommodate up to eight passengers without great stress. Finally, we must mention a curious detail. The EQV does not have push button start, or similar, but it keeps the archaic key of the Class V. Things of engineering, costs, or…
Mechanics of 204 CV with 405 kilometers of autonomy
The great asset of Mercedes-Benz EQV with respect to its rivals lies in its Powertrain. It is driven by an electric block that develops a final power of 204 CV. To power itself, it relies on a lithium-ion battery with 90 kWh of energy capacity. It is located under the vehicle floor, helping to achieve optimal weight distribution. All in all, the autonomy of the EQV is expected to be generous, since between recharges it could go up to 400 kilometers.
To load it, there are several options, although it has a smart charger. It has 11 kW of capacity and allows to comfortably feed the battery in different types of seasons. In any case, Mercedes-Benz still has to publish new technical information, which will surely be before Frankfurt Motor Show. This is where the version that will reach dealers before the end of the year will debut. Soon new news.
