With the Vision EQXX, Mercedes is going the extra mile, literally. It wants the highly efficient EV to cover 621 miles and therefore smash the 1,000-kilometer barrier. Even though the three-pointed star has canceled its in-person appearance at CES due to coronavirus concerns, the revolutionary concept car is still on track to make an official debut on January 3, 2022.<\/p>\n
In the meantime, the German luxury brand has released the second episode of its video series about the EQXX<\/a> and how it aims to become Mercedes’ most efficient car ever. Hitting the 1,000-km target is not easy as a lot of work goes into the car’s design to make it slippery and thus lower its drag coefficient.<\/p>\n According to Steffen Kohl part of the Advanced Exterior Design team, the hotly anticipated EV “should look fantastic” even though aerodynamics have top priority in the design phase. He is brutally honest by saying “we don’t wanna make it look shit” for the sake of a better Cd, one that will likely be lower than the 0.20 of the EQS<\/a>.<\/p>\n
