Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV: Caught without camouflage

At the end of the year, Mercedes-Benz will present the EQE SUV, a model derived from the well-known EQE electric sedan, with which it will share the category (E segment), platform (EVA), and mechanical parts. Developed as part of a joint program with the EQS SUV, the star’s new electric SUV will become a zero-emission alternative to the GLE.

Even though the first deliveries will not take place until spring 2023, the final design of the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV has been revealed thanks to spy photos of one of the units used by the brand for its crash tests. How will be the new rival of the Audi Q8 e-Tron and BMW iX?

The front of the new EQE SUV shows the same design language as the rest of the members of the EQ family, with almond-shaped headlamps “fused” with a blinded black grille. The bumpers are reminiscent of those of the EQE sedan, with two side air intakes that give it a somewhat sportier look.

The model name is engraved on the A-pillar, while the rear is crowned by a generous spoiler. The pilots, attached to the width of the gate, are very similar in design to those of the EQE, something that on the other hand should not catch us by surprise, since from a technical point of view both will be practically identical.

The Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV will be the most aerodynamic model in its category

Thus, the EQE SUV is expected to reuse the 90.6 kWh battery pack seen in its younger brother, which should allow it to approach or even exceed 600 km WLTP of autonomy (remember that Mercedes-Benz has set itself the goal of achieving that the EQE SUV and EQS SUV are the most aerodynamic models in their respective categories ).

It will also maintain its charging system, being able to reach peak powers of 170 kW in direct current. This will allow you to go from a 10 to 80% charge in 32 minutes. Despite being a very advanced model, it will not have an 800-volt electrical architecture, a solution that will appear in the next-generation electric Mercedes-Benz.

The EQE SUV is also expected to have sports variants signed by AMG, which will stand up to the already well-known BMW iX M60. However, unlike the EQS SUV, our protagonist will not have a super-luxury Maybach version, a privilege reserved for S-class models.

New KIA e-Niro already has a price in Spain

Image
A few months after its official presentation, KIA opened the order books for the new e-Niro in Spain. The revamped compact SUV, which now sits on the K3 platform already seen in the latest Hyundai Elantra, is slightly longer (6.5 centimeters) than its predecessor and  debuts a completely revamped exterior and interior design . However, mechanically there are not too many changes. The second-generation KIA e-Niro is equipped with a 204 hp (150 kW) and 255 Nm engine coupled to the front axle, thanks to which it can complete the 0 to 100 km/h in 7.8 seconds. Its battery pack will have a capacity of 64.8 kWh, enough to approve a maximum of  463 km WLTP  (its official consumption is 15.9 kWh/100 km), a minimal improvement compared to the 455 km WLTP achieved by its predecessor which tells us that, despite the use of a new platform, the powertrain is likely to be very similar. As for the load, for the moment it has only been revealed that it  will take 43 minutes to go from 10 to 80%  conn

VW thinks price war in China will lead to many bankruptcies

Image
Ralf Brandstätter, CEO of the Volkswagen Group in China , believes that the electric car market is “overheating”, with high investments and aggressive discounts that could threaten the stability of the sector. In particular, he points out that the pressure to which some manufacturers are subjected could lead to their demise. This situation mainly affects younger brands: according to the manager, many new players will urgently have to seek additional capital investment, or else they will go  bankrupt in the short term .  “We are facing a situation where the market is overheating. The consolidation of the playing field is in full swing. Although without making direct mention of Tesla, Brandstätter  is very critical of the price war that has rocked the Chinese market in recent months .  “Currently, there are more than 120 automakers in the [electric vehicle] market, and around 150 new models will be launched by 2023. Intense competition and high battery prices make them face strong econ
