The VISION EQXX is exciting, inspirational, and at the same time completely built in a realistic way that is even advanced for electric vehicle technology. In addition to its groundbreaking energy efficiency, it offers meaningful answers to pressing issues. Further analyzing the sustainability of the materials decreases the carbon footprint considerably.

Its UI/UX features a radical new one-piece display that comes to life with responsive real-time graphics and spans the entire width of the vehicle. Other elements of the UI/UX help the car and driver work together as one and even use technology that mimics the workings of the human brain. Along with the software-led development process that is delivered, revolutionizes the way electric cars are designed.

Most of us know the fact that the fine art of aerodynamics has a long and illustrious tradition at Mercedes-Benz. Automotive enthusiasts will recall the C111 from the 1970s. Today, it is the luxury class pioneer, the EQS, that holds the world record for the most aerodynamic production vehicle. The VISION EQXX is now establishing the next milestone with a drag coefficient of just 0.17. Its record value is of particular importance for electric driving and, above all, for the range. This is because two-thirds of the electric energy is needed just to counter the air resistance. The forms flow seamlessly with unparalleled elegance from the front over the powerful, sensuous shoulders right to the highly effective aerodynamics of the rear spoiler edge.

Many other details demonstrate how consistently and almost uncompromisingly the VISION EQXX has been designed for aerodynamics. The front face is smaller than that of a compact CLA and thus poses minimal resistance. A narrower rear wheel track allows the air to flow more efficiently, and transparent external covers on the wheels prevent virtually all air turbulence while also allowing amazing views of the rose-gold magnesium rims.

Interior

VISION EQXX

Marking the launch of a new, super-purist design style, the VISION EQXX represents a new expression of efficiency in interior design. As a mark of departure from the conventional design approach, the interior layout focuses on just a few modules and the beautiful simplicity of lightweight design. This is expressed through the absence of complex shapes and the integration of lightweight structures into the interior aesthetic in a wholly organic way, making traditional trim elements unnecessary. From mushrooms to vegan silk, nature’s influence continues when we step inside the VISION EQXX.

The lightweight luxury feel of the interior comes from extensive use of lightweight, sustainable materials and organic-inspired design detailing. The basic principle of VISION EQXX is maximum comfort and style with minimum weight and absolutely no animal-derived products. The interior features a large number of innovative materials sourced from start-ups around the world. For example, the door pulls are made from AM silk’s Biosteel fibre.

Another sustainable material gracing the interior of the VISION EQXX is MyloTM, a verified vegan leather alternative made from mycelium, which is the underground rootlike structure of mushrooms. On the floor, the carpets in the VISION EQXX are made from 100% bamboo fibre. In addition to being fast-growing and renewable, this natural raw material offers an extremely luxurious look and feel. Elsewhere, the VISION EQXX makes extensive use of recycled waste materials, such as the recycled PET bottles used in a shimmering textile to enhance the floor area and door trim.

This intelligent use of sustainable advanced materials and methods inspired by nature is dubbed bionic engineering and was facilitated by a digital process called bionic mesh design. Mercedes-Benz has a long history of applying bionic engineering techniques dating back to its “bionic car” concept study from 2005.
