Mercedes-Benz Concept EQ to go on show in Malaysia

Mercedes-Benz Malaysia (MBM) will be showcasing the Mercedes-Benz Concept EQ at its EQ Brand Exhibition next month. The study, known as Generation EQ, is being brought in to highlight the electric direction of the automaker and to help create awareness of MBM’s EQ Power push in the country.

The electric SUV concept will be on display at the public roadshow, which will take place at The Waterfront in Desa Park City from May 4-7, 10 am to 6 pm daily.

The Generation EQ revealed the automaker’s new electric vehicle sub-brand when it made its Paris debut in 2016. The four-seater study – which previews the EQC SUV that will be coming into the market in 2019 – is powered by two electric motors, located on the front and rear axles, with juice provided by and a battery in the vehicle floor.

The electric all-wheel drive setup has a total output of 300 kW (402 hp) and 700 Nm of torque, providing the vehicle with a 0-100 km/h sprint time of under five seconds. In terms of operating range, the vehicle is able to provide zero-emissions travel of up to 500 km.

    This is really a good thing. We don’t get to see such vehicle in our local international motor show.

    Dear Paultan, can you cover some story regarding the battery of ev or hybrid vehicles. like many hybrid cars sold in Malaysia x5 xc90 etc that benefit from tax exemptions, but many still sceptical on the long term maintenance. As we all know, any battery will loose it potency after a certain number of charge discharge cycle. so if the car is rated to go to 100 in less than 5s when new, what is the depreciation rate of its power say after 3 years of usage? and to add one more concern, the hot and humid nature of msia weather. I know that battery performance hugely impacted by increased in temperature. so will this affect us msian buyer?

      agree!!! this would be something truly beneficial to readers and would set your platform apart from the rest who are reporting fluff! substance is what separates journalism from story-telling…
