近日，奔驰全新的EQC路试谍照被曝光，该车将对特斯拉ModelX形成挑战。谍照显示了该车进行寒冷气候测试的情景，该车外观看出其延续了GenerationEQ的设计语言，虽然车身进行了重度伪装，但可以看出两款车共享了顺滑造型。宽阔的格栅与前大灯连接，车尾掀背尾门的大面积单片伪装表明，这两款车将有相似的略微倾斜掀背车门。GenerationEQ概念车前后轴个搭载一台电机，总计输出功率达到300千瓦/402马力，扭矩700牛米。车辆百公里加速时间不到5秒。该车配备的70千瓦时电池可使车辆续航里程达到500公里。而量产版预计也将具备相同的规格。
Mercedes Spied Putting Its EQ C EV Crossover To Work In the Snow
Mercedes-Benz has an electric, premium crossover under development as a challenger against Tesla Model X. These spy shots catch the production version during cold-weather evaluations ahead of sales beginning 2019.
The production model appears to take significant cues from the Mercedes Generation EQ concept (gallery above). Ignoring the cladding covering the body on this test mule, they appear to share the same smooth shape. A broad grille connects to headlights that come to a point at their corners. A large piece of concealment over the rear hatch on this prototype indicates that the two vehicles would have similar subtly raked hatchbacks, too.
In concept form, the Generation EQ packed an electric motor at each axle with a total combined output of 402 horsepower (300 kilowatts) and 516 pound-feet of torque (700 Newton-meters). The combo got the SUV to 62 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour) in less than five seconds. A 70-kilowatt-hour battery provided at least 311 miles (500 kilometers) of range. The company will likely try to get similar specs out of the production version.
