If you’re interested to learn what’s new about the 2020 Mercedes EQA, we’ve rounded up everything you need to know here. As you might have already known, Mercedes-Benz has promised to build a fully electric Mercedes EQA long ago. And we now see a green light about this forthcoming vehicle.
This car is going to be the second member of the Mercedes EQ family of EVs. It will be the smaller model based on Mercedes’ NMA2 architecture which strengthens the brand’s compacts, including the GLA and CLA. It’s expected to be called EQA and will go after the Mercedes EQC.
This upcoming EQA is expected to enter production in Germany in 2019 and is supposed to arrive in the United States later this year. This model is close to the final development process, so we just need to wait until the vehicle is officially on sale this year.
2020 Mercedes EQA Specs and Features
The smaller EQA is supposed to nearly mimic the concept EQA, the one unveiled last September at the 2017 Frankfurt Auto Show. Previously, it’s said to be an all-wheel-drive hatchback. The previous concept was considerably lower and slightly shorter than other electric vehicles from the automaker.
Moreover, the EQA concept also showed to feature a battery back from Deutsche Accumotive, a subsidiary of Daimler. This battery has lithium-ion pouch cells and adds more than 60 kW. Then, the automaker also boasted of a 249-mile driving range based on the new European WLTP driving cycle.
The 2020 Mercedes EQA is said to make Daimler spend around $590 million for its plant in France. The plant is developed with the flexibility to ramp up construction depending on the order. Moreover, the plant is currently developing Smart gasoline as well as electric vehicles to accommodate the production of EVs.
In this case, the development of EVs will aim to hybrid, gasoline, and diesel models. The action is a sensible transition for Smart as well. This city-car brand is targeting to offer only electric vehicles starting from 2020 and on. And it already dropped gasoline models from the lineup on the American market.
2020 Mercedes EQA Release Date and Prices
This car is expected to arrive in the United States in late 2019 or early 2020 since the production process has been performing since it’s unveiled a few months ago. Then, how much is the price for this 2020 EQA? Unfortunately, the pricing isn’t available at the time of writing.
However, we speculate the price to be around $38,000. But, you should stay tuned for the official pricing to be exact. This first all-electric car from Mercedes will come with some comfortable packages too, so you should expect for an additional cost to enjoy them once it’s released.
In conclusion, Mercedes EQA is one of the most awaited vehicles right now. It has been an internet darling since it’s unveiled as a concept. So, it’s no secret that the car is gaining more attention when it’s supposed to be released soon. Now, let’s wait for 2020 Mercedes EQA to arrive on the market.
