This year, the domestic auto market has been affected by the global epidemic, and the growth of passenger car sales has further slowed down. However, it is not difficult to see through the data that in the segmented field, the new energy market and the luxury car market are still favored by the majority of consumers. Especially in the new energy market, the data shows that from January to October this year, the sales of electric vehicles increased by more than 100%, and the new pure electric brands represented by Tesla were in the limelight for a while.
On the other hand, the traditional luxury car companies represented by Mercedes-Benz are no longer low-key. On December 11, the Mercedes-Benz L3 autonomous driving system passed the strict technical regulations of the German Federal Motor Transport Administration, becoming the first automotive company in the world to obtain the UN-R157 certification. This milestone breakthrough has undoubtedly greatly encouraged fans in the traditional luxury brand camp, once again proving that Mercedes-Benz, which has a century-old car manufacturing heritage, still has a strong technical advantage in the new energy track.
Not long ago, Mercedes-Benz fulfilled its commitment to this year's "Mercedes-EQ" year at the Guangzhou Motor Show, bringing two new generation electric luxury models to the urban pioneer family in one go, EQA is the first new generation of pure electric vehicle models released by the EQ family, and EQB is a rare new generation of 7-seat pure electric models on the market.

Electric luxury Safety is equally important to driving

In terms of power, thanks to the dual electric motors in front and rear, both new cars showed acceleration performance far beyond the 2.0T engine of the same price model during the test drive. The EQA is more agile to handle due to its more compact body and is a good way to navigate the city. Although the EQB is a 7-seater model, zero-hundred acceleration is its strength, and the 6.3-second performance is enough to compete with many performance models.
Of the three power modes, Sport is clearly more enjoyable to drive. Sport mode maximizes the vehicle's powerful dynamics without regard to power consumption. In addition, the driving texture brought by excellent tranquility is fully in line with the expectations of luxury users.
It is worth mentioning that the two first editions of the new car are also equipped with a powerful intelligent timely four-wheel drive system, which can distribute the torque of the front and rear motors for 100 times / s, and calmly cope with various road conditions.
