EQXX？ At first glance, the name makes this car feel very special, and it is not the same as the naming method of other models in the EQ family. One X usually represents the future, and two X's, the ultimate future? This new electric concept car will be released online on January 4, the official evaluation is quite high, claiming to be "the most efficient car the brand has ever built", and has released a teaser map to see what highlights are there.
The front design is very low, the EQ family's iconic through-line light strip is not absent, the middle of the hood is sunken, the wheel arch is raised, and there are two diversion holes, which is the design of the performance car.
Seeing the design of the side, I personally expressed great satisfaction that Mercedes-Benz finally did not continue the painting style of the original EQ family short car head - this is too no sense of flagship, even if it is a big car like EQS, after the front of the car becomes shorter, it always looks like it is less temperamental. This time the direction is right, the EQXX's front is very slender, and even people suspect that it has a longitudinal V12 engine hidden in its engine compartment. The design of the short front suspension and the long rear suspension is also reminiscent of the elegant posture of the fuel vehicle era, and the things that disappeared in the era of electric vehicles, EQXX has taken it back. As a concept car, it is not too unexpected to see the door handle, and the current inductive opening method is not uncommon, in addition to looking more cool, losing the door handle will also bring benefits to the wind resistance coefficient of the whole car.
The rear shape of the car continues the streamlined design, and the taillight shape is slender, basically wrapping the entire rear of the car round. You may wonder, how come you still see four holes below? This is obviously not an exhaust pipe, presumably an aerodynamic design that allows airflow to pass through the chassis faster.
What is the significance of the EQXX car? It may be that Mercedes-Benz in order to study the wind resistance coefficient to the extreme, in the end of the degree of positive impact on the endurance. As we all know, after the electric vehicle reaches a certain speed, most of the power will be consumed in the fight against wind resistance, EQXX's goal is that the wind resistance coefficient is lower than EQS's 0.20Cd, draw a key point, the current 0.20 is the lowest record for mass production cars, if it can surpass EQS, it means that EQXX will have the opportunity to become the production car with the smallest wind resistance coefficient of Bluestar. Mercedes-Benz executives also revealed that with an excellent wind resistance coefficient, the actual cruising range of EQXX will exceed 1,000 kilometers.
GO Chejun comments: Behind the challenge of the lowest wind resistance coefficient, although there are engineers and designers who are obsessed with science and art, it actually reflects the dilemma that battery technology has not made breakthrough progress. In addition, electric vehicles have inherent advantages in the wind resistance coefficient, such as closed front, more convenient layout of the engine compartment, shorter front suspension, a flatter chassis, etc., which are the keys to reducing wind resistance, and it is expected that EQXX can successfully surpass EQS after mass production.
