How cool is that anyone who ever skateboarded wants to be as cool as tony
and as we have seen he also has good taste in cars
of course it's really handy to be able to charge your electric longboard in the
boot
ladies and gentlemen this is the new concept eqt and i'm proud to be the part of the team that
is working with great passion on this exciting project the concept eqt is the pioneer of a new
class a show car that already offers a very good preview of the future t-class and its electric
sibling the eqt it's a fully electric small van that will be the new entry into the mercedes-benz
world for families and leisure active customers the concept eqt is for people who need one thing
above all a lot of space for example the family of five who enjoys weekend trips and always packs
a lot of luggage because all favorite toys and maybe the longboard always have to come along
and perhaps a few friends too or the dog no problem
because the concept eqt is a 7-seater that offers a lot of space inside
for example in the second row there is the option of fitting three child safety
seat next to each other also it even makes the big weekly shopping trip for the family
more fun but as i mentioned the concept eqt is also for our leisure active customers
people who enjoy sports or have a lot of hobbies or want to get out regularly the
concept eqt also has practical sliding doors on both sides and a lovely panoramic sunroof
the top quality you have come to expect from mercedes-benz in terms of comfort and safety
contributes to this one example here is our forward-looking mbux infotainment system
of course it also includes the latest driving assistance systems and thanks
to its compact proportions this more than fits to almost any parking space or garage
last but not least all electric driving pleasure with a competitive range is an important factor
but the concept eqt does not just drive like a rehabilitated it also looks like one to be precise
a mercedes from the eq family as a pioneer of a new class the concept eqt impressively
demonstrates the characteristic mercedes-benz design philosophy that we call essential purity it
also sets new standards of high premium quality in the small van segment in the front the black panel
grille with our mercedes-benz star pattern catches the eye the design shows that this one clearly
belongs to our mercedes eq family here the star pattern runs throughout the entire vehicle
even on the 21 inch wheels and roof lining strong shoulders and pronounced wheel arches emphasize
power emotionality and beauty and all of this without compromising functionality because the
rear offers an effective flexible space for a wide range of applications the combination of
typical mercedes intelligence emotionality and high quality also continues in the interior the
fusion of the dashboard and cockpit with pebble like shapes allow for practical storage space
once again form and function go hand in hand center shapes elegant trims and sustainable
premium materials such as braided leather ensure that all occupants feel right at home
and casual under concept eqt the all-electric concept eqt impressively shows how mercedes-benz
