Mercedes-Benz Generation EQ: This concept car represents the first model to be conceived in the marque’s new sub-brand EQ, which will provide a sustainable mobility ecosystem including products and services. Generation EQ is purposely futuristic in design to deliver this sustainability message. The black panel front grille, for instance, houses a white-illuminated Mercedes-Benz star as well as all the light elements. Interiors, too, are dominated by simple touch-based controls with what the firm calls an ‘electro’ look. The concept car is constructed using a cocktail of metals and carbon – the battery is in the vehicle floor with motors for both front and rear axles which help acceleration of 0–62mph in five seconds, and it promises a range of 311 miles. Mercedes claims the EQ’s basic structure is suitable for all models, be it an SUV, saloon, coupé or cabriolet
