On April 25, the Mercedes-Benz EQA 260 model was officially launched, and as an entry-level model of the EQ series, the new car was priced at 321,800 yuan. Compared with the current EQA 300, the design of the EQA 260 has not changed much, the main change point lies in the power, the horsepower value has dropped from 168kW to 140kW, zero hundred acceleration is 1.2 seconds slower, and the neDC range has increased to 619 kilometers while keeping the battery capacity unchanged. The price has dropped by 40,000, the endurance has increased by 80 kilometers, and it seems that there is no strong demand for power, and the EQA 260 version is more cost-effective, of course, only relatively.
In terms of front face, the new car adopts the family-style front face shape of the Mercedes-Benz EQ series, with a "Dark Night Star Wing" closed front face grille, and through-the-day running lights, which greatly improves the recognition. Compared to the EQA 300, changes have been made to the air intakes on both sides of the front face of the new car and the chrome trim strips below, and small changes have made the new car feel much more well-behaved.
The side of the new car, exactly the same as the EQA 300, the side design of the EQA is significantly rounded compared to the GLA. The new car is also equipped with 18-inch wheels, and in terms of body size, the new car has a length, width and height of 4463/1834/1624 (mm) and a wheelbase of 2729 (mm).
In terms of the rear, the new car also adopts the Mercedes-Benz EQ series family-style through-type taillights, which is officially called the "Ring of Time and Space" through the light strip, there is nothing to say in terms of recognition, the taillights are very three-dimensional after lighting, and at the same time, they can automatically adjust their brightness, and the overall feeling is in line with the design of the rounded lines of the body. The design of the black bumper below, the chrome decorative strip in the middle has also been adjusted, which is more in line with the overall rounded design style of the new car.
The new car follows mercedes-Benz's previous dual screen shape in terms of interior, and the suspension double 10.25-inch screen is still full of technology. On Mercedes-Benz's iconic "nightclub style" mood light, the new car is equipped with a 64-color ambient mood lighting system, built-in ten themed scene settings, and a new nebula streamer trim on the decorative panel in front of the co-driver. Mercedes-Benz's signature circular air outlets have also been retained, and the air conditioning control panel is still a physical button.
In terms of car machine, the new car comes with a navigation customized by AutoNavi Map, which can send destinations through voice or mobile phone, and can also plan the navigation path of long-distance travel according to the current mileage, plan charging points on the way, optimize the navigation path in real time according to the current energy consumption value, road conditions, charging station occupancy, and the voice wake-up function of the car machine can also hear some dialects. Although the interior styling is not the latest model of Mercedes-Benz, the old double screen model is still very attractive, full of sense of technology, but the new car in terms of intelligence, is still Mercedes-Benz's consistent conservative style, advanced driving assistance what not to look forward to.
In terms of power, the EQA 260 is equipped with a front-mounted single motor, the maximum power of the motor is 140kW, and the official 100-kilometer acceleration performance is 8.6 seconds, although this power is not fast in today's electric vehicle world, but it should be enough in terms of urban commuting or high-speed overtaking. At the same time, the new car is equipped with a 73.5kWh ternary lithium battery pack, and the CLTC's pure electric mileage is 619km.
The editor said: As an entry-level electric vehicle for Mercedes-Benz, the EQA 260 reduces one motor in exchange for longer mileage and lower price. But EQA makes people feel that the problem of "oil to electricity" version of GLA still exists, although Mercedes-Benz officially repeatedly emphasized that Mercedes-Benz EQA is based on a new platform to build, and GLA does not have much to do with it, but EQA does not fully show what a new era electric vehicle should look like, more than 300,000 prices, whether power or intelligence can not be compared with the domestic electric vehicle at the same price, buy more as a Mercedes-Benz car should face. Q ask, will you spend more than 300,000 yuan to buy a domestic electric SUV or will you buy this Mercedes-Benz EQA 260?
