奔驰近日在法兰克福车展发布了EQA概念车，这款未来主义风格的三门掀背车展示了奔驰未来计划将旗下车型全部电动化的决心。该车保留了奔驰EQ家族的顺滑，菱形造型。车头圆润的车鼻和短前后悬形成了更陡直的前风挡和流线形车顶并一直延伸至掀背车尾。该车的设计还融入了更多高科技元素，自适应格栅在车辆采用运动模式行驶时是水平蓝色线条，如果切换至运动强化模式则是垂直红色竖条。此外，该车没有采用时下流行的LED照明而是更先进的激光光纤，它的每一个灯丝都可以发光，奔驰形容它“看起来就像电机的铜质线圈在发光”。这款车搭载的双电机都位于前轴，总计输出功率200千瓦/268马力，扭矩499牛米，车辆0-96公里/小时加速时间5秒。此外新车将提供一个60kWh的锂离子电池组，最大续航里程有望达400公里。该车可采用前置插座或无线感应式充电。首款EQ品牌车型将是2019年亮相的EQ C，它的设计灵感取自奔驰在去年巴黎车展发布的Concept EQ跨界概念车。
Mercedes-Benz EQ A Concept Puts 249-Mile EV In A Stylish Package
Mercedes extends its plans for a full lineup of electric cars by unveiling the EQ A concept for a futuristic three-door hatchback.
The EQ A retains the smooth, lozenge-like shape that’s common to the rest of Mercedes’ EQ concepts. In this case, a rounded nose with short overhangs leads to a steeply raked windshield and flowing roof that cascades over the hatch. The designers include some high-tech flourishes, too. For example, there’s an adaptive grille that features a horizontal blue line during the Sport driving mode. Switching to Sport Plus switches the appearance to vertical, red slats that evoke Mercedes’ Panamericana grille.
In addition, the EQ A eschews the modern trend towards LED lights in favor of laser fibers. These units use illuminated filaments, and Mercedes intends them to look like “the copper windings of an electric motor.”
The EQ A features a pair of electric motors – one on each axle. In total, they would offer over 268 horsepower (200 kilowatts) and 368 pound-feet (499 Newton-meters) of torque. Acceleration to 60 miles per hour (96 kilometers per hour) would take around 5 seconds.
A 60-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery would let drivers travel over 249 miles (400 kilometers). Charging would be possible either from a plug or wirelessly through induction.
The first EQ-branded model on the road will be the EQ C in 2019, and it’ll take inspiration from the Concept EQ crossover from last year’s Paris Motor Show.
