7 Mercedes EQV

Mercedes-Benz has revealed the pricing and specification for its second all-electric model, the EQV.

Based on the Mercedes Vito van, the EQV is a seven-seat people carrier.

Prices start at £70,655 for the new model, which will be available in the Autumn.

A 90kWh battery provides a range of 213 miles, while the EQV’s electric motor produces 204PS and 364Nm.

Rapid charging allows the battery to charge from 10% to 80% in 45 minutes, where possible.

The EQV features the brand’s MBUX infotainment system with EQ-specific features, including charging current and energy flow.

Mercedes me Charge can also be accessed via MBUX which provides access to charging points across Europe without the need for multiple accounts and RFID cards. Mercedes me Charge comprises multiple charging networks, including Polar which is the UK’s largest charging network.

EQ-optimised navigation can also be set via MBUX, which bases its calculation on the fastest route taking into account the shortest charging time. It also informs the driver of nearby charging points.

Three trim levels are available: Sport, Sport Premium and Sport Premium Plus.

The Sport model features 17-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, Driving Assistance package, sat-nav, reversing camera, electric sliding doors, ambient lighting and an eight metre charging cable.

At £77,145, the range-topping Sport Premium Plus includes Burmester surround sound system, Airmatic suspension and 18-inch wheels.
