Reports from The GreatAuto
After several laps of go-kart speed and passion, I won the first place in the group, I thought I would get a place in the final ranking, and I didn't even think I would finish in the top five. Among the media teachers, crouching tigers and hidden dragons, just like the current new energy battlefield, one or two fierce characters will emerge from time to time.
This time, from Mercedes-Benz.
When luxury collides with pure electricity
In a Mercedes-Benz way
Luxury, is synonymous with Mercedes-Benz (one). After all, Mercedes-Benz has been honing this brand identity for 135 years. Such a long period of precipitation has made Mercedes-Benz the only one in the same level of brand in the shaping of luxury. Even in the era of electrification, it has given new products an inherently luxurious temperament.
The new EQA/EQB is the latest product of the collision between "Mercedes-Benz" luxury and pure electricity.
At the test drive on December 13, Mercedes-Benz showed us the unique charm of these two new generation pure electric models. Next, follow the lens of The Gentleman and experience the "electric luxury" of the new EQA/EQB.
Pre-sale in October, launched in November, the new EQA/EQB has never lacked exposure since its debut, and many fans have long been aware of its styling design.
Both models continue the design of the fuel version of GLA/GLB in the overall body contour, but in many details, they show their exclusive language as pure electric models. For example: the "Ring of Space-Time" front and rear through light strips integrated with the "Electric Blue" element; the closed grille of the "Dark Night Star Wing"; the nebula streamer trim; the EQ exclusive logo; the exclusive aerodynamic kit (surround and spoiler under front and rear motion, flat bottom, optimized wheel hub, etc.).
Entering the car, you can feel the power of Mercedes-Benz in shaping the atmosphere of luxury driving.
The new EQA/EQB adopts Mercedes-Benz's latest family design style. 10.25-inch HD touch dual screen, Smog Terminator 3.0 air purification system, 10 kinds of interior atmosphere theme 64-color ambient ambient lighting system, Burmester surround sound system, paris stud process of central control buttons; and the ubiquitous double-stitched leather. What the new EQA/EQB has to do is to shape its own luxury benchmark in an all-round way from multiple dimensions such as sight, smell, hearing, and touch. On this point, Mercedes has always won indisputable.
When the new EQA/EQB is parked on the side of the road to take pictures, it can always attract the attention of passers-by, among which there are not a few people who stop to watch, and some passers-by with "social cow fever" also take the initiative to communicate and even enter the car to observe. The vast majority of people praise mercedes-benz luxury, of course, there are also said that EQA is "compact" and EQB is "high price". It can only be said that the difficulty of speaking out has always been a problem in the world.
Luxury has never been "close to the people", but Mercedes-Benz has always tried to get closer to the majority of consumers in a more people-friendly way. From the beginning of the EQC to the latest EQA/EQB, Mercedes-Benz is gradually making electric luxury within reach.
In addition to pure electric drive
Everything else is "Mercedes"
We have never worried about The car-making strength of Mercedes-Benz as a century-old car company, and the new EQA/EQB has once again proved with actions that Mercedes-Benz production must be a boutique. But the real battlefield of the car is "on the road" after all, which makes us look forward to the next test drive.
Since the test drive is an EQA/EQB hybrid fleet, we have integrated the two vehicles into one interpretation.
Before that, let's take a look at some of the key parameters of the two cars:
New EQA: The power part is equipped with a 73.5 kWh battery pack; the total power of the front and rear dual motors can reach 168 kW, the peak torque is 390 Nm, and the zero hundred acceleration time is 7.7 seconds; the CLTC working range is 537 km; the fast charging capacity is charged from 10% to 80% in just 45 minutes; it has 3 energy recovery modes; and the intelligent timely four-wheel drive system can distribute the torque of the front and rear motors for 100 times/s.
New EQB: the power part is equipped with a 73.5 kWh battery pack; the total power of the front and rear dual motors can reach 215 kW, the peak torque is 520 Nm, and the zero hundred acceleration time is 6.3 seconds; the CLTC working range is 512 km; the fast charging capacity is charged from 10% to 80% in just 45 minutes; it has 3 energy recovery modes; and the intelligent timely four-wheel drive system can distribute the torque of the front and rear motors for 100 times/s.
In addition, both models are equipped with the MBUX intelligent human-computer interaction system with a number of EQ-exclusive functions such as EQ optimized navigation, climate pre-control system, and rich intelligent driver assistance technology. It is worth mentioning that both cars are equipped with AutoNavi custom navigation that is deeply integrated with the MBUX system, which also makes Mercedes-EQ the first luxury brand to carry out in-depth cooperation with AutoNavi Map.
For an electric car, the sharp acceleration is no longer a prominent highlight, after all, everyone has, the new EQA / EQB has a strong power reserve, at the start of the traffic light to kill 90% of the fuel vehicle is completely out of the question.
The most impressive point of the new EQA/EQB is its delicate adjustment of the throttle and brake, whether it is starting or accelerating, not obtrusive but full of stamina, giving people the unique "calmness" of Mercedes-Benz. Coupled with the steering feel of not light or heavy, just the right suspension toughness and the low center of gravity brought by the battery located at the bottom, the vehicle shows ease on bumpy roads, curves, etc., making people look relaxed and enjoyable.
Of course, in terms of handling, the new EQA benefits from the inherent "compact body" advantage, but the new EQB's seven-seat advantage wins back in space and practicality.
It is also worth mentioning that whether it is EQA or EQB, both cars do a good job in terms of quietness in the car. Unlike some electric vehicles that can create an acceleration atmosphere through electronic simulation of sound waves, the two cars retain the "purity" inherent in the tranquility of electric vehicles.
In terms of intelligent interconnection, the MBUX intelligent human-computer interaction system with a number of EQ-exclusive functions shows better interactivity and playability. In particular, the AutoNavi custom navigation, which is deeply integrated with the MBUX system, perfectly integrates many functions such as real-life through navigation, driving recorder, full-color head-up display, 3D navigation map, etc., with a 10.25-inch high-definition touch dual screen and head-up display system, so that the driving status is in control.
If you sum up the driving experience of the new EQA/EQB in one sentence, it is the perfect fusion of traditional Mercedes-Benz luxury and avant-garde pure electric technology. Inheriting the profound heritage of the century-old Mercedes-Benz fuel vehicle era, it also represents the brand's latest interpretation of automobile electrification.
However, the fly in the ointment is that behind the huge Mercedes-Benz logo is the price of the new EQA/EQB. But it is still that sentence: luxury has always been not close to the people, and if you want to get a higher quality travel experience, you must pay a corresponding "price". This is the universal law of "you get what you pay for", and it is also the meaning of struggle.
Automotive views:
The word "Mercedes-Benz" is an irresistible temptation for countless consumers. This is true in the era of fuel vehicles, but is it still the case in the process of electrification in full swing?
We must rationally realize that a group of new car-making forces that conform to the times are constantly challenging traditional giants such as Mercedes-Benz, and Tesla, "Wei Xiaoli" and so on have gained a firm foothold in the hearts of many new generation users. Mercedes-Benz is excellent, but only with the new EQA/EQB and the previously listed EQC, it is obviously not enough to support the brand's future development plan. On the new electrification track, there is still a long way to go behind you to catch up, and we look forward to Mercedes-Benz to continue to produce good products, create new surprises, and stride towards the next century.
