The seating position is elevated and upright, as you would expect from
an SUV, making it easier to enter and exit
from the vehicle, and offering very good peripheral visibility. One of the
key areas of emphasis, in general, were usability. The back of the rear
seats shall be divided and folded in the ratio 40:20:40.
Efficiency is a priority, from
aerodynamics up to Navigation with Electric Intelligence
With a Cd value of 0.28, EQA achieves excellent results
aerodynamics. The frontal area A is
2,47 m2. The most important aerodynamic elements
include the completely closed cooling air control system, the aerodynamic
front and rear apron, the very smooth subfloor with almost no
openings, specially optimised Aero wheels and specially adapted airfoils on the front and rear wheels.
The heat pump of the basic equipment
is a component of the state-of-the-art thermal management system. The system is designed for exceptional efficiency, and therefore
maximum autonomy, thanks to numerous innovative details, such as the
utilisation of the heat dissipated by the electrical transmission system
Motion. There is also the possibility of activating the system
pre-conditioning inside the EQA before the
start of a route. The function is controlled directly from the MBUX infotainment system or via the Mercedes me App.
Another piece of equipment that increases everyday practicality
of EQA is navigation with Electric Intelligence,
which calculates the fastest route to the destination. Based on
continuous autonomy simulations, the system shall take into account possible necessary
stops for charging as well as many other factors, such as topography of the
route and the weather conditions. It also has the ability to react
dynamically to changes, for example in the traffic situation or the
personal driving style.
With Mercedes me Charge, customers have
access to the largest charging network in the world today, which
currently includes more than 450,000 AC charging stations and
DC in 31 countries. Mercedes me Charge allows Mercedes-EQ customers to
use the charging stations of various providers to easily use the charging stations to
charge their vehicles, while benefiting from a single, integrated charging system.
preferential pricing with simple billing procedures.
In addition, the Mercedes me Charge allows
customers to charge their vehicles at more than 175.000
public charging stations across Europe. Mercedes-Benz ensures
subsequent compensation with green energy.
Intelligent driver assistance systems with cooperative
support and excellent safety in the event of a collision
Standard equipment includes the
active lane-keeping assist and active brake assist.
In many cases the purpose of active brake assist is to
prevent the collision by slowing down the vehicle autonomously or mitigate the impact of the collision
impact. At normal city speeds, the system can also
slow down when stopped vehicles and pedestrians crossing the road are detected
road. The extended functions of the Driver Assistance package
include, but are not limited to, the change of direction function, the
emergency lane, the disembarkation warning function, which
alerts the driver when cyclists or vehicles approach, and a system
warning when pedestrians are detected near crossings.
The EQA proves to be a genuine Mercedes in the area of passive safety as well. Based on the robust structure of the GLA, the EQA's bodywork has been specially adapted to cope with
to the special requirements of an electric car. The battery is based on
a specially developed frame carrier made of expanded elements with
the metal forming machining technique, which assumes the role of
of the protection provided so far by the transverse bodies in the subsoil
frame.The battery protector in the area in front of the battery can
prevent the entry of foreign bodies into the energy storage unit.
Of course, EQA also underwent the extensive and demanding
impact test programme. There are also strict requirements for the
battery and all electrical components.
High level of equipment and multi instrument
displays with Mercedes-EQ screens
Also included in the standard equipment is
the MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) infotainment system that offers intuitive handling. MBUX can be individually configured with the aid of various options.
Main advantages of the system: the powerful computer, the bright displays
and impeccable graphics, customisable projection, colour head-up display (optional equipment), navigation with
augmented reality (optional equipment), software that learns
and the voice command system activated by the phrase "Hey Mercedes".
The Mercedes-EQ icon on the media screen can be used
to display the menus concerning the charging options, the electric charging and the
consumption and energy flow. The right-hand display on the multi-display instrument
is a wattmeter instead of a tachometer. In the upper part it shows the percentage
power used and the lower part the energy recovery. The left
