With “Concept EQ”, Mercedes-Benz is showing that the electric car will soon be moving into the fast lane. The concept vehicle which has the looks of a sporty new SUV Coupé provides an outlook into a new generation of battery-powered vehicles.

The new electro-look is shaped by a smooth transition from the glowing black bonnet across the windscreen to the darkly tinted panoramic roof – an exciting contrast to its alubeam silver paintwork. The joints in the vehicle body are hardly noticeable and windscreen wipers hidden; cameras are installed rather than outside mirrors, and the car does not have the traditional door handles – all elements designed to emphasise its sleek, dynamic silhouette.
