On the first day of work in 2022, Mercedes-Benz released a big move
Call it: the most energy-efficient model ever built by the brand , the new VISION EQXX , officially debuted in the world.
What kind of car is this?
It is a pure electric concept car, named after vision EQXX and has two meanings:
One is the X-factor, which goes beyond the conventional thinking of electric mobility;
The second is X-divisional, which strengthens the Mercedes-Benz brand by adopting a rapid cross-departmental collaborative development approach.
Maybe Mercedes-Benz just wants to tell everyone with this car:
In the development of pure electric, once the brand has made up its mind, then their speed will be faster than expected.
Therefore, in the new VISION EQXX concept car, Mercedes-Benz brings many unprecedented technologies and ideas in the field of pure electric power, and these technical plans will be used to define the Mercedes-Benz models of the future.
For example, endurance and energy efficiency are crucial to the development of electric vehicles today.
However, compared with the simple practice of assembling large-capacity batteries to achieve long battery life, the VISION EQXX concept car considers the relationship between energy efficiency and endurance, creating a new benchmark for energy efficiency.
This idea can actually be seen on EQS, so Mercedes-Benz has created an ultra-low wind resistance coefficient of 0.20 for it, but the VISION EQXX concept car has once again broken through the aerodynamic ceiling of pure electric vehicle models.
The design and R&D team uses an ultra-smooth design, combined with tires with ultra-low rolling resistance and aerodynamic optimization, so that the VISION EQXX concept car has a drag coefficient as low as 0.17 (uncle is uncle).
At the same time, thanks to the new electric drive system developed in-house, the VISION EQXX concept car realizes the efficient use of energy, and can transfer up to 95% of the battery energy directly to the wheels through the conventional system.
In addition, the "Energy Efficiency Assistant System" also helps to improve driving efficiency, which can give the most efficient driving recommendations based on information such as energy flow, terrain, electricity, and even the direction and intensity of wind and sun.
Not only that, the battery pack of the VISION EQXX concept car was also developed by the AMG team, and through the R&D ideas and professional mechanical design of formula 1 racing cars, through advanced anode chemistry and highly integrated battery packs, the energy density of nearly 400 Wh/L was achieved.
Compared to the new EQS, its battery volume is reduced by 50% and weight by 30%, which makes the VISION EQXX concept car's compact size capable of accommodating a battery pack with usable energy of nearly 100 kWh and a range of more than 1,000 km.
In addition to being the most energy-efficient model in Mercedes-Benz's history, the VISION EQXX concept is also the most digital Mercedes-Benz.
In order to build it into a forward-looking product, the VISION EQXX Concept car has formed a multidisciplinary team across departments, including F1, since the beginning of development, to develop a promising, advanced and efficient solution driven by software.
For example, the brand's first completely seamless 47.5-inch ultra-thin all-in-one screen is equipped in the car.
Not only the game engine and fully optimized user interface, but also the 3D real-time navigation system can be implemented, giving people an immersive luxury experience.
The familiar "Nebula Assistant", in an innovative information processing method called neuromorphic computing, the wake-up speed of "Hello, Mercedes-Benz" will be increased to 5-10 times that of the traditional voice control function, so as to achieve seamless intelligent interaction.
It is worth mentioning that as a century-old luxury brand, even in the field of electric vehicles, there will be no loss of identity.
The new VISION EQXX concept car adopts a "sensual and pure" design language.
Glossy black closed grille for the front face
It is equipped with energy-saving headlights with star emblem elements
With 2D star emblem motif on the front bumper
It always shows its posture.
The Alubeam silver exterior, which is more like a GT sports car with perfect body proportions, is more like a retractable rear diffuser that blends seamlessly.
The interior is different from the traditional design method, in addition to the 47.5-inch large screen, the VISION EQXX concept car also uses lightweight sustainable materials.
The door handles are made of biodegradable pure plant silk;
The seat is made of cactus raw material and mycelium made of leather;
Carpets are woven with 100% bamboo fiber and so on;
Zero emissions in a thorough embrace of guaranteed luxury and comfort.
As a traditional luxury manufacturer, it has moved from bringing the Avatar concept car with Cameron to today's VISION EQXX concept car.
It can be said:
Every time Mercedes-Benz thinks about pure electricity, it can make people amazing
What is even more exciting is that everything that is currently seen in the VISION EQXX concept car will be mass-produced and installed on the Mercedes-Benz model, and Mercedes-Benz is still worth yearning for in the field of pure electric.
