The EQXX’s front end looks more like a sports car, with a low leading edge, short hood, wide fenders, and prominent wheel arches. In addition, the iconic Mercedes grille remains replaced with a star graphic incorporated into the front bumper, while digital LED headlights pair with a full-width LED light bar.
The Mercedes star logo remains embossed on the bonnet to save weight and ensure maximum aerodynamic effectiveness. The so-called “air control system” channels air through the front of the new prototype using a series of air curtains and vents.
Mercedes has also fitted the EQXX with “ninth generation” exterior mirrors and new aerodynamically optimized wheels.
The EQXX’s A-pillars are well placed forward, as there are no drivetrain components in the front section, and its wheelbase extends to 2,800mm, maximizing cabin space.
At the rear, the EQXX builds on active aerodynamic developments first explored by Mercedes in the 2015 IAA Concept. A diffuser element remains included that automatically extends at speed to smooth airflow and reduce turbulence at a rate.
The EQXX is also slightly tapered, with the rear track 50mm narrower than the front track.
