The
upcoming EVs could be the equivalent to the A-Class hatchback, B-Class, C-Class, CLA and A-Class sedan. This is
speculative but let us explain how we’ve reached this conclusion. Models such
as the EQA, EQB and EQC share their platform with the
ICE-powered GLA, GLB and GLC SUVs respectively. The carmaker is also working on
larger models such as the EQE sedan, EQE SUV, EQS sedan and EQS SUV, which are underpinned by the dedicated EVA
platform. These four models will be equivalent to the E-Class, GLE, S-Class and GLS. The only models which the upcoming five
EVs could bear resemblance to are the entry-level models mentioned above. www.truebluedeal.com
Mercedes
is yet to reveal technical specifications of the upcoming MMA platform but it
has said that it will offer class-leading range and high-speed charging. The
German carmaker has also said that the drivetrain costs would be competitive.
We shall reserve our comment until the cars and specifications have been
revealed.
MMA will boast “state of the art digital
experience” and these cars should feature a host of digitally advanced
features. Expect them to come with Merc’s MBUX connected infotainment system.
Even the interior design language could borrow bits from the recently unveiled new-gen S-Class.
The launch timeline for these new EVs is yet to be determined.
But we expect them to reach showrooms from 2022 as Mercedes is already busy
working on the EQE sedan, EQE SUV, EQS sedan and EQS SUV, all of which will
reach showrooms by 2022. Stay tuned for more updates on this front. www.truebluedeal.com
