[Original by Dongchedi Product] From October 15 to October 16, 2022, the Mercedes-Benz VISION EQXX Technology Art City Tour Exhibition will be held at Shanghai Henglong Plaza , showing the "comprehensive electric transformation" and "new luxuryism" of the Mercedes-Benz brand. This is also the first appearance of the VISION EQXX concept car in China.
VISION EQXX concept car debuted in China
Mercedes-Benz VISION EQXX concept car was first launched globally on January 4 this year. The official said that this concept car is its hard work to "completely break through technical barriers and improve energy efficiency levels to new highs."
new car features
VISION EQXX concept car adopts pure electric drive, with a single charge range of more than 1,000 kilometers and an energy consumption of less than 10 kWh per 10 kilometers. The concept car practices environmental protection concept, is built with a large number of sustainable materials, and has made new breakthroughs in energy density, wind resistance coefficient, lightweight, software drivers and human-computer interaction.
This concept car has a range of more than 1,000 kilometers per charge.
It is undeniable that the era of full electrification of cars has arrived, and range and energy efficiency are the core elements of the electric vehicle era. Excellent battery life can make electric car compete for various travel tasks and help speed up its popularity. Excellent energy efficiency will further reduce the size and weight of the battery, creating a virtuous cycle, helping the car achieve longer range with less total battery capacity.
VISION EQXX concept car fully considers the need to reduce wind resistance when performing the appearance. The curved surface of the car body extends smoothly from the front face to the back. The naturally flowing lines extend to the rear of the car, and the cut outer edge optimized for aerodynamics is decorated with bright black trim, which echoes the taillight group.

In addition, the VISION EQXX concept car is also equipped with many low-key appearance but equally important active/passive aerodynamic details, such as the smaller front face, which is even smaller than the front face of the CLA four-door coupe and smart models; its rear wheel pitch is 50 mm smaller than the front wheel; there is also an active air intake grille set on the front bumper .
After this series of appearance optimization measures, the resistance coefficient of the VISION EQXX concept car reached 0.17, which is lower than the 0.20 of EQS.
interior uses a large number of renewable materials

VISION EQXX concept car interior design adheres to the minimalist style, and its interior layout only focuses on a few modules to achieve a simple and beautiful lightweight design. By simplifying the traditional and simplifying the lightweight structure and interior aesthetics. In terms of the interior materials of
, the high-sustainability of bacteria and pure plant silk materials have been widely used. The basic design principle is to create the greatest comfort and style with the lightest weight, and to refuse to use any animal products.
Door panel lining is made of renewable material
VISION EQXX concept car also widely uses recycled and reprocessed environmentally friendly materials, such as the glossy fabric of floors and door trims originates from the recycled PET bottle . The designer applied Dinamica (38% recycled PET) material to the ceiling, connecting the upper edge of the integrated screen to the door and ceiling to create a wraparound effect. The interior also features UBQ materials, a sustainable plastic alternative made from waste recycled from home and urban landfills.
The through-type large screen is the first time that
is available on Mercedes-Benz products. This concept car is equipped with a huge "center control screen". This is the first screen created by Mercedes-Benz that is completely seamless and has a span of 47.5 inches between the two A-pillars. The screen has rich Internet of Vehicles functions "behind" the screen, and the functions such as music, network interconnection, voice control required for daily use are naturally no problem.
The new 3D navigation map has richer functions
At the same time, the new car has developed the first 3D real-time navigation system compatible with this size of screen through cooperation with navigation expert NaviS Automobile Systems Corporation (NAVIS-AMS). The system supports seamless zoom and scrolling, and in 3D city view, the satellite screen can be enlarged to a height of 10 meters. In addition, the system can run on an all-in-one screen, providing users with clear, accurate and intuitive route navigation.
power information
The battery pack capacity of the new car is about 150 kWh
power part, the output power of the VISION EQXX concept car is about 150 kW, and its battery pack capacity is about 150 kWh. The concept car achieves 95% energy efficiency, which means up to 95% of battery energy will eventually be passed directly to the wheels. In contrast, even the most efficient internal combustion engine transmission system can only achieve about 30% energy efficiency.
VISION EQXX concept car has a very high energy density
Mercedes-Benz has also developed a brand new battery pack for the VISION EQXX concept car, achieving an energy density of nearly 400 watt-hours/liter. This figure enables the VISION EQXX concept to accommodate a battery pack with a power of just under 100 kWh in a compact size. The separate compartment of the OneBox enhances the safety of the battery
Other aspects of the battery design also improve the vehicle's energy efficiency performance, such as the lightweight battery cover is made of a unique sustainable composite material, which is taken from sugar cane waste and reinforced with carbon fiber, the same material used in Formula 1 racing cars. In addition, the battery also has an active battery equalization function, which means that the car can evenly absorb energy from the battery while driving, thus gaining more range. The total weight of the battery on the VISION EQXX is about 495 kg, including OneBox. It is worth noting that the entire vehicle of the VISION EQXX concept car weighs about 1,750 kg. The end point of the long-distance test is Silverstone
In June, the Mercedes-Benz VISION EQXX concept car successfully completed a long-distance test from Stuttgart to the British Silverstone Circuit on a single charge. This distance is 1,202 kilometers long. Faced with the real traffic environment and the high temperatures in summer, the VISION EQXX concept car finally set a record set in April with an average energy consumption of 8.3 kilowatt-hours per 100 kilometers.
Mercedes-Benz said: A series of technical research and development work for the VISION EQXX concept car is being carried out in full swing to prepare for application to future mass-produced models. At the same time, the VISION EQXX concept car will also undergo battery life tests in other regions around the world.
