This week, Xiaobian participated in a new EQA and new EQB test drive held by Mercedes-Benz, and took this opportunity to share some test drive experiences with you.
After all, the call for banning the sale of fuel vehicles in Europe is getting higher and higher, even if the internal combustion engine still has room for survival, but in the face of the trend of carbon neutrality, it has to gradually withdraw from the historical stage.
Back to mercedes-Benz's new EQA and new EQB models, the commonality of the two cars is undoubtedly for young users, but just like the title, choosing A or B is an open-book multiple choice.
Why unwind? Because the product positioning of Mercedes-Benz's new EQA and new EQB is very clear: the former is young and dynamic, fashionable, and fully satisfies the fashion pursuit of electric trends by urban pioneers and talents, while the latter attaches a 7-seat layout on this basis, focusing on space practicality, and is a good partner for young hipsters and hot moms to travel electrically.
In a word, single young people choose the new EQA, as for the grandparents, it is right to drive the new EQB home.
But I guess or you will ask, now there are a lot of pure electric new forces such as the sun in the sky, but also the tide is also cool, why must Mercedes-Benz?
Before the test drive, I actually had this question, and now I think I am qualified to share my experience with you.
At the heart of the answer to the question revolves around just two words – luxury. After all, it is Mercedes-Benz, abandoning luxury to single car machine and three electric system, EQ is not EQ, but an ordinary pure electric vehicle.
The first is the luxury of design.
The most significant feature of the appearance of the new EQA and the new EQB is the "Ring of Time and Space" front and rear through-type light strips, the headlights integrate the "electric blue" element, and use the "Dark Night Star Wing" closed grille, the difference, the new EQA for the first time equipped with nebula streamer trim, EQB is equipped with AMG sports components and EQ exclusive logo, so that the appearance of the two cars is different from mercedes-Benz fuel vehicles at the same time, but also in the overall visual tone of the gap with other brands.
The interior part, the new EQA and the new EQB are equipped with a 10.25-inch HIGH-definition touch dual screen and 10 kinds of interior atmosphere theme 64-color ambient ambient lighting system, in addition to the Sound of Berlin sound system, double stitch process leather, the use of Paris nailing process of the central control button and can effectively filter PM0.3 level of ultra-fine particles "Haze Terminator 3.0", all appear in the configuration list of the two cars, the visual effect is not lost in luxury, there is no lack of romance, at the same time with a sense of technology and practicality, Expresses Mercedes-Benz's unique understanding of luxury in pure electric design.
This is followed by digital luxury.
After all, the new EQA and the new EQB are pure electric vehicles for young people, and the core naturally cannot be less intelligent.
In fact, after the test drive, I think that the MBUX intelligent human-computer interaction system equipped with eQ-optimized navigation and other EQ-exclusive functions on the new EQ-optimized navigation on the new EQB is not far behind the new forces in terms of intelligence: the operation mode, the touch screen, the steering wheel can be slider, and the trackpad can also be operated; when it is cold and hot, you can use the "Hello Mercedes-Benz" to exhale the mind reading voice assistant, and can complete the navigation and other in-car operations like Siri natural voice communication; travel, Mercedes-Benz also cooperated with AutoNavi to develop autoNavi custom navigation that is deeply integrated with the MBUX system, implanting a number of functions such as full-color head-up display, real-life cross-navigation, driving recorder, 3D navigation map, etc., and with the help of optimized navigation function, when entering the destination, the system can automatically calculate the remaining journey and intelligently recommend charging stations along the way, making pure electric travel simple and easy.
Since travel is mentioned, it is natural to mention the luxury of the new EQA and the new EQB on the three-electric system.
Let's start with the commonalities between the two cars. The new EQA and the new EQB are equipped with NCM811 ternary lithium batteries, with a capacity of 73.5kWh, a net capacity of 70.5kWh, and the energy density of the battery pack is as high as 188Wh/kg, which brings the benefit of making the CLTC working range of the new EQA and the new EQB exceed 500km, of which the new EQA is 537km, and the new EQB is 512km, which has a very obvious endurance advantage in the luxury pure electric vehicle camp.
In terms of charging efficiency, both cars support a maximum of 7kW AC charging power and a maximum of 100kW of DC fast charging power, charging from 10% to 80% in just 45 minutes, while both cars use high-safety electric vehicle body structure plus high-strength battery compartment; the battery pack is protected by a fully sealed solid aluminum shell, and both passed the rigorous crash test at the Mercedes-Benz Automotive Safety Technology Center, and conducted up to 4 years of real vehicle road tests in 13 countries. Fully meets Mercedes-Benz's safety standards.
In terms of mechanical quality, both cars adopt a dual motor layout and are equipped with an intelligent timely four-wheel drive system that can distribute the torque of the front and rear motors for 100 times/s, and the performance of the new EQA total power is 168kW, the torque is 390Nm, the EQA 300 4MATIC has an acceleration time of 0-100km/h of 7.7 seconds, and the performance of the new EQB is even worse, with a total power of 215kW and a torque of 520Nm, and the EQB 350 4MATIC's 0-100km/ With an acceleration time of only 6.3 seconds, the acceleration performance is already comparable to the entry-level AMG GLB model.
summary:
The launch of Mercedes-Benz's new EQA and new EQB models undoubtedly fills the gap in the market, especially the luxury pure electric SUV segment, their emergence, so that the tone, luxury, sports, space practicality of these four very difficult to get together product tonality appeared on a car at the same time, and thanks to Mercedes-Benz's strong dealer system and meticulous service concept, so that consumers can also enjoy the five-star charging service without losing the new force after purchasing a car. It can be said that Mercedes-Benz's exploration of EQ models has set an example for the electrification transformation of luxury brands, while increasing consumer choices.
