Launched at the 2022 consumer technology show CES in Las Vegas, the Vision EQXX by Mercedes-Benz is a super-efficient EV concept designed to maximise aerodynamics to allow the car to travel 620 miles on a single charge. It’s lean flowing form has a drag coefficient of 0.17cd, which plays a significant role in achieving the impressive range figures. According to the OEM, this was the result of intensive collaboration between the design and aerodynamics teams.
