The New Mercedes-Benz EQV

Mercedes-Benz have upgraded the EQV, making luxury, practicality, and sustainability a focus. Explore the new Mercedes-Benz EQV.

“We want to offer the most desirable vans and services. To this end, we carefully analysed the wishes of our customers. The new models now have even greater visual appeal and offer even more digital extras. Our MPVs standard equipment has been significantly enhanced, with many previously highly demanded optional features now coming as standard: a well-rounded overall package.” - Klaus Rehkugler, Head of Sales and Marketing Mercedes-Benz Vans

Exterior design

The highlights of the new EQV and V-Class include a new look. The further-developed design gives them a more distinctive and unique visual position in their segment. The new front design is characterised by a striking radiator grille in different forms and a powerfully defined bumper. Depending on the equipment, the radiator grille is surrounded by an LED light band. The top-line V-Class EXCLUSIVE also has a prestigious, upright Mercedes star on the bonnet for the first time. The adaptive MULTIBEAM LED headlights with their elegant design, which are available either as standard or as an option depending on the equipment line, add another stylish touch to all models. At the rear, a new chrome trim strip with Mercedes-Benz lettering and newly designed LED lights ensures an unmistakable appearance. The contour of the rear lights is darkened, creating a more precise light signature. The upgraded appearance is rounded off by new alloy wheels with an aerodynamically optimised design in the formats 43.2, 45.7, and 48.3 centimetres (17, 18, and 19 inches) as well as four new paint colours.

Cockpit updates

The interior design also impresses with an upgraded look, centred on digitisation. The cockpit is primarily characterised by a redesigned instrument panel with two 31.24-centimetres (12.3-inch) widescreen displays, stylish new air vents and a new-generation steering wheel with capacitive hands-off recognition. The modern high-tech design raises the style and perceived value of the MPVs to a new level.

The centre console, which has also been redesigned, supports wireless charging for smartphones if desired. Other new convenience features, some of which are optional, include the KEYLESS start function, heated steering wheel, and dimmed rear cabin lighting for driving at night. With 64 colours, the ambient lighting offers an even more individual and homely atmosphere. For more convenient access to the rear, the V-Class and EQV now also have a sliding door on the left-hand side of the vehicle as standard.

Upgraded infotainment

The new MPVs are equipped as standard with the current generation of the MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) infotainment system, offering an incomparable digital and interactive experience. With the enhanced MBUX, drivers of the V‑Class and EQV can benefit from additional functions such as ENERGIZING comfort control and navigation with augmented reality.

The intuitive display and operating concept provides personalised suggestions for numerous infotainment, comfort, and vehicle functions. It is operated via the central display, the touch control panels on the steering wheel, the touchpad on the centre console or via dialogue with the teachable voice assistant “Hey Mercedes”, which has also been optimised. Further advantages of the new MBUX generation include increased computing power, additional EV-specific functions and views for the EQV, and parking support features that are shown on the central display.

Customers can create their personal profile directly in their vehicle and synchronise it with the existing profile data in their Mercedes me account. Up to seven different profiles can be stored per vehicle – each with individual information such as the last navigation destination or favourite radio station.

Diverse Digital Extras

A large number of digital extras are available with the MBUX infotainment system. They make the EQV and V-Class even more intelligent – and everyday life even easier and more efficient. Additional functions can be used before and after the journey, or even while on the road. These include free services such as maintenance, accident and breakdown management, as well as remote services including locking and unlocking the doors, and opening and closing the windows via the Mercedes me app. Other helpful services include navigation with Live Traffic Information, Car-to-X communication and extended MBUX functions with the “Hey Mercedes” voice assistant. If desired, it can, for example, search online for nearby restaurants or hotels. In addition, customers can use the satellite view for the first time. They also now have the option of sharing their location or estimated arrival time with their contacts thanks to Social Navigation.

The Charging Digital Extras is also available for the EQV. It offers customers access to one of the largest public charging networks in Europe with over 620,000 charging points - including the European fast-charging network IONITY. Charging Digital Extras enables charging with electricity from renewable sources at all stations. As the fully electric MPV is equipped with Plug and Charge, drivers can charge and pay particularly quickly and conveniently at compatible charging stations. Manual authentication is not necessary because the charging station communicates directly with the vehicle via the charging cable.

Thanks to MBUX, the EQV is also integrated into the electric mobility ecosystem of intelligent navigation with active range management and cloud-based services and apps. It ensures relaxed driving with transparency and the greatest possible planning security. All EV-specific displays and settings can be operated via the high-resolution central display in the MBUX. Examples include individual settings for cabin pre-conditioning and vehicle charging as well as navigation with Electric Intelligence.

Driving assistance systems

Safety and assistance systems with enhanced and additional functions further elevate the overall appeal. For example, Active Brake Assist now includes the cross-traffic function. It can warn the driver of orthogonal crossing or oncoming vehicles and dangerous overtaking manoeuvres, as well as intervene to brake in an emergency and assist when turning.

The standard equipment of the EQV and V‑Class is extensive: ATTENTION ASSIST, Headlamp Assist including rain sensor, Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC, Active Brake Assist with cross-traffic function, Blind Spot Assist, Active Lane Keeping Assist, Intelligent Speed Assist and Parking Package.

The adaptive MULTIBEAM LED headlights with Highbeam Assist PLUS are available for the first time. Featuring 84 individually controllable LEDs, they enable extremely fast and precise adjustment of the headlights to the current traffic situation. Highbeam Assist PLUS continuously illuminates the road ahead without dazzling other road users.

Further systems are included in the new driving assistance package. It contains the Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC with route-based speed adjustment and extended automatic restarting in traffic jams, Active Steering Assist and Active Speed Limit Assist. The new parking package with 360-degree camera is available for convenient and quick parking. It provides a 360-degree visualisation of camera-assisted parking using 3D images. The parking package includes Active Parking Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Pedestrian Emergency Braking and Drive-Away Assist. It also includes a trailer manoeuvring assistant in combination with a trailer hitch and automatic transmission.
