Mercedes-Benz Vans premiers the Concept EQT, will launch an all-electric Citan as well

11 May 2021, 05:24:06

Mercedes-Benz Vans presented the Concept EQT - a new EV from the Mercedes EQ series targeted at families and fans of sports and other recreational activities. The production version of the car will occupy the T-Class small van segment one released. The near-series-production concept vehicle combines ample and versatile space for up to seven occupants and a generous luggage compartment with a Mercedes-typical design and approach to high-class appeal, comfort, functionality, connectivity and safety.

The Concept EQT design draws inspiration from the latest "Sensual Purity" design DNA. Of course, it features the MBUX infotainment system. Ample inner space, sliding doors, panoramic roof with a starscape lasered into it, place for up to seven adults are some of the highlights of this compact all-electric van. The concept vehicle illustrates this spaciousness and high level of variability for families and outdoor fans with a lot of luggage or sports equipment with a rather surprising feature – an electric longboard integrated into the load compartment. It is stored in a double-floor compartment beneath a plexiglass lid fitted in an aluminium frame and flush with the load compartment floor. The electric longboard is also made of aluminium and features a star pattern, giving it a particularly stylish look.

The new T-Class, which will be launched onto the market in 2022, complements the portfolio in the small van segment together with the commercially-positioned Citan which will celebrate its premiere this year including a fully electric variant. The fully electric version for private customers will follow later.
