In recent years, under the trend of full electrification, the focus of major car companies has been moving closer to pure electric models, and the three major luxury brands have launched pure electric series models. Among them, Mercedes-Benz concentrated on the second half of the year, and launched EQA and EQB at the Guangzhou Auto Show, but how is its product?
On December 13, Mercedes-Benz EQA, EQB West District test drive was held in Chengdu, cover news this time selected one of the 7-seat models, EQB test drive, let's go to see together.
Although the new car is based on THE GLB, compared to the GLB, the appearance of the new car adopts the iconic pioneer design of the EQ family, with the AMG style appearance kit, and with the "Night Star Wing" closed front grille, reflecting the unique design language at the same time, but also cleverly distinguished from the GLB. While retaining the LUXURY SENSE OF THE GLB, it makes the new car look more youthful and dynamic.
Inside the scooter, the new car still uses a three-row, 7-seat layout, and occasionally the emergency home outing is completely fine. On the other hand, the seat is reclined and the long wheelbase of nearly 3 meters brings a maximum trunk volume of 1,620 liters, which can meet the diverse travel needs of consumers.
After driving, the EQB gave me the feeling that the power output was smooth. The new car is equipped with dual motors in front and rear, with a total power of 215 kilowatts and a torque of 520 Nm, and under normal driving conditions, the rear motor is powered, and the front motor intervenes when accelerating. Because the throttle tuning is similar to that of a fuel truck, there is no sense of vertigo when driving on congested roads in the city.
In terms of comfort, the new car has also improved compared to the GLB. When faced with small potholes, the suspension can effectively filter out most of the bumps. At the same time, due to the pure electric model, coupled with the two-stage shock absorption technology, it brings excellent NVH performance, ensuring a quiet and comfortable interior. The Burmester surround sound system was blessed, which also made the test drive particularly relaxing.
In terms of human-computer interaction, the new car is equipped with the MBUX intelligent human-computer interaction system with a number of EQ-exclusive functions such as EQ optimized navigation. At the same time, the mind-reading speech assistant has a strong natural speech recognition ability. In the test drive, in Trump's words "navigate to Xinglong Lake", it can also accurately identify and cut into place.
Not only that, equipped with the deep integration of the MBUX system, Gaode custom navigation, perfect integration of real-life through navigation, driving recorder, full-color head-up display, 3D navigation map and other functions, you can safely deliver at the same time, but also let the mobile phone completely liberated.
Finally, in terms of batteries, the new car matches the NCM811 lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 73.5 kWh, charging from 10% to 80% in 45 minutes, and clotting range of 512 kilometers. After nearly 80 kilometers of test driving, the actual number of kilometers is no different from the power loss. Compared with other brands' battery life fictitious standards, Mercedes-Benz deserves praise.
