Mercedes-Benz EQA Spied on the Road

Giancarlo Perlas October 15, 2018

A new Mercedes-Benz hatchback is on the loose. We believe that the car might be the Mercedes-Benz EQA. A new spy video puts focus on an A-Class-like car getting test driven. The vehicle appears unmistakably a Mercedes because of its nose layout, and although hidden by a camouflaged wrap, the front grille suggests that a three-pointed star logo is beneath it. What is unusual about the vehicle though is that it is too quiet. A close look at its rear reveals that it is missing one key crucial element. Yes, the exhaust pipe is nowhere to be seen! Those details could only mean that the unit is an electric vehicle…. Continue Reading »

Mercedes-Benz GLE PHEV Could Have at Least 62-Mile Range

Giancarlo Perlas October 13, 2018

The Mercedes-Benz GLE is getting a plug-in hybrid version soon. The plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) is planned to have at least a 62-mile electric range. The information was revealed during the interview of Ola Kallenius, head of Daimler group research and Mercedes-Benz cars development, with Automotive News. He claimed that if they could reach the 62-mile figure, then the GLE will become the first PHEV to achieve such feat in the WLTP cycle. It should be noted that the 2018 GLE 550e plug-in hybrid is only capable of 10 miles electric driving. So the upgrade will definitely be a huge leap for the GLE range. Mercedes said that the GLE PHEV is… Continue Reading »

Giancarlo Perlas October 2, 2018

The smart division of Daimler celebrates its 20th anniversary at the 2018 Paris Auto Show. To commemorate the momentous occasion, the brand debuted its smart forease concept electric vehicle to the public. Smart identifies itself as practical. Therefore, the smart forease was made with that factor in mind.

According to Daimler, the smart forease stands for “emotionality, lifestyle and attitude”. Among the concept’s key highlights is its open cabin that aims to make… Continue Reading »

Pitting the Mercedes-Benz EQC Against the Tesla Model X

Giancarlo Perlas September 16, 2018

It’s hard not to compare these two when the Mercedes-Benz EQC, which stands for electric intelligence, was made specifically to compete with Elon Musk’s Tesla Model X. So let’s pit the new Mercedes electric SUV against its American rival in terms of exterior, interior, and performance. Exterior The Model X has a futuristic and yet simple design. It has a pretty basic body structure that is attractive enough but doesn’t really shine out. The small headlights and the single slat grille are standouts, as well as the Tesla logo and air dams on either side of the bumper. The EQC, on the other hand, has an elegant structure that we… Continue Reading »

2020 Mercedes-Benz EQC To Get More Distinctive Designs

Giancarlo Perlas September 9, 2018

When the 2020 Mercedes-Benz EQC all-electric crossover was revealed earlier this week, there was a collective sigh of disappointment largely due to the fact that the design was rather bland. There was no distinctive feature on the crossover and it lacks the aggressive styling that we come to expect from the Generation EQ concept. However, it looks like this was a deliberate attempt for the German luxury carmaker to make the first all-electric crossover under its EQ brand to lack the radical features of the concept version. EQ sales and marketing chief Jorg Heinemann told Autocar that for now, Mercedes is simply concerned with establishing a “starting point” for the… Continue Reading »
