The user interface and user experience inside the Vision EQXX is highly responsive, intelligent and software-driven future, officials said. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nMercedes recently purchased British EV motor company Yasa. It has been developing a new type of motor dubbed an \u201caxial flux\u201d that will show up in AMG production models before mid-decade. It is not clear if that motor is in the EQXX, however.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Compared to the production Mercedes-Benz EQS, the EQXX delivers significantly lower levels of power. Its single electric motor generates approximately 150 kilowatts, or about 204 horsepower, said Mercedes. The base EQS 450+ pumps out 329 hp. But where that current model weighs in at nearly 5,450 pounds, the EQXX is about 1,600 pounds lighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since the EQXX uses the same modular platform as other Mercedes products it seems possible a twin-motor drive system could follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Production plans<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
For the moment, Mercedes is being vague about specific production plans for the EQXX, only suggesting that it provides a \u201cblueprint\u201d for future models. \u201cMany of its features and developments are already being integrated into production, including the next generation of the MMA \u2014 the Mercedes-Benz Modular Architecture for compact and medium-sized cars,\u201d the automaker said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It concluded that \u201cmany of the innovations in the Vision EQXX could be quickly adapted for production applications.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX concept unveiled today could go a long way towards eliminating range anxiety for the EV lexicon \u2014 as long as 1,000 kilometers, or 625 miles, per charge.
