奔驰Generation EQ概念车近日亮相巴黎车展，这款零排放SUV未来将加入奔驰电动车家族。该车外观就像下一代GLC，它的车身线条顺滑，车厢宽敞，车顶线条向后倾斜，侧面轮廓更突出动感。该车没有配备前风挡雨刷，而取消侧后视镜用摄像头替代，使这款概念车更增添了一分主流车型感觉。该车采用非常大的21英寸轮圈，车身为银色涂装，车头采用蓝色装饰，突出了其纯电动车特性。车顶硕大全景天窗可以让更多光线进入车厢内，提升空间感。车厢内采用极简主义风格，配备24英寸数字仪表群和中控台第二显示屏。这台触控显示屏替代了所有物理按键，使仪表板更简洁。即便是三辐方向盘也提供了一对OLED显示屏，而摄像头纪录的图像可以通过车门的一对显示屏展现出来。该车卫星导航系统采用的软件由诺基亚提供，至于动力系统，该车搭载两台电机，分别安装在前后轴，综合功率300千瓦/402马力，扭矩700牛米，车辆百公里加速时间不到5秒。该车的电池安装在地板下，续航里程500公里，具备快充模式。奔驰估计，充电五分钟可以行使100公里。

 

Mercedes Generation EQ concept electrifies Paris with 402 hp

Joining the Mercedes-AMG GT C Roadster in Paris, the Generation EQ concept takes the shape of a zero-emissions SUV and serves as a preview for the company’s future electrified lineup. Looking like a GLC from the next decade, the vehicle adopts a curvaceous body with a generous greenhouse and a sloped roofline to give it a more dynamic side profile. The concealed windscreen wipers and the switch to side cameras instead of conventional mirrors contribute to give the concept a more streamlined appearance.

 

As one would expect from a concept, the Generation EQ rides on very large wheels, a 21-inch set in this case. The body has been painted in what Mercedes calls an “alubeam silver” hue and comes with several blue accents to denote we’re dealing with an all-electric model. There’s also a massive panoramic roof, which allows a lot of light to get inside the cabin to make it feel more spacious and airy.

 

Speaking of the interior, the futuristic cabin adopts a minimalist look and comes with a very wide 24-inch digital instrument cluster and a secondary display on the center stack. The touch-sensitive screens have replaced just about all of the physical buttons and knobs to give the dashboard a simple, yet very functional layout. Even the three-spoke steering wheel incorporates a pair of OLED screens, while the images recorded by the cameras are displayed onto a pair of additional screens mounted on the doors.

 

With Daimler being one of the new owners of the HERE mapping solution, it doesn’t come as a surprise the concept’s satellite navigation system uses the software acquired from Nokia.

 

In terms of power, the Mercedes Generation EQ makes use of two electric motors installed on both axles to provide a combined output of 300 kilowatts (402 horsepower) and 700 Newton-meters (516 pound-feet) of torque. It’s enough electric punch to allow the concept zap to 62 mph (100 kph) in less than five seconds.

 

Thanks to the floor-mounted battery pack, the green SUV provides a maximum range of 500 kilometers (310 miles) and has fast-charging capabilities to refill the depleted battery. Mercedes estimates that in the medium to long term, a 300-kW charging capacity will allow EVs like the Generation EQ concept to gain enough energy to cover 62 miles (100 kilometers) in only five minutes.
