Mercedes of tomorrow: lifestyle crossover SUV with electric drive
Is the "electric R-Class" coming? First pictures of the 2022 Mercedes EQC II
CAUGHT! First pictures of a completely new fully electric Mercedes EQ model for 2022. The EQ series brings a breath of fresh air to the Daimler Group and is growing from year to year with new models.
Not only are existing generations electrified, but completely new EQ models are also coming onto the market. The future Mercedes EQE and EQS make the start, but this lifestyle crossover SUV with ambitions of a station wagon will follow. All of these models have one thing in common, they are based on the purely electrical Eva II platform (Modular Electrical Architecture MEA), which was specially developed for the EQ series.
According to insiders, this prototype is the Mercedes EQC II. It is even described as a modern electrical successor to the Mercedes R-Class and will replace the current EQC. The current series of the Mercedes EQC is still on the old platform Eva I, an intermediate platform based on the outdated Mercedes GLC. Eva I was the first step into electromobility from Mercedes, but the current Mercedes EQC has been a big flop so far. There is no demand, the range is too short and the customers of an EQC are more than dissatisfied.
So it should be much better with the Mercedes EQC II based on the Eva II platform. The new model has an independent design and stands out from all other Mercedes models. This prototype has nothing in common with the current Mercedes EQC. In terms of design, you can clearly see the EQ front. As with the EQE and EQS, the side mirrors sit on the doors. Overall, this prototype of the EQC II is longer than the current EQC, but the rear window sits flatter. So it should also offer more space in the interior. Various drive concepts such as front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive can be expected.
