CES 2022: Mercedes-Benz Presents the EQXX Concept

The early calendar of 2022 was highlighted by what has become an important fixture for the automotive world, the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. This year’s edition has lost some of its shine, however, because with the arrival of the Omicron variant, many companies decided to withdraw from making in-person appearances.

That didn't stop the virtual presentations, of course. Case in point, the EQXX concept just unveiled – online - by Mercedes-Benz. If you want to know what the electric future of the German luxury brand looks like, this design study gives you a peek.

First – and most obvious – things first. The EQXX has spectacular lines. Some may not agree, but from where we stand, they’re pretty remarkable.

The EQXX is also quite light at 3,858 lb (1,750 kg), which is only slightly more than a Mercedes-Benz C300, which weighs 3,693 lb (1,574 kg).
