Mercedes Benz unveils the EQV

Due to receive its world debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show next month, Mercedes Benz has revealed the next pure-electric model to join the EQ range.

With a range of 252 miles on a single charge, the EQV combines emissions-free mobility with impressive driving abilities, high functionality and aesthetic design as the first fully-electric premium MPV from Mercedes-Benz.

The manufacturer calculates that the EQV has an energy consumption figure of 27 kWh/100km, and can charge from 10 per cent to 80 per cent in less than an hour.

Expected to prove a rival for the likes of the Model X in the domestic market, the EQV is also a zero-tailpipe emission option for taxi, private hire, and shuttle fleets.
