Although the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2022 in Las Vegas promises to be one of the editions full of news and previews with the return in attendance and as many as 1100 exhibitors, the Mercedes Vision EQXX concept could be one of the 'queens' of the event, to underline the ever closer link between the automotive world and the digital and 'connected' world.

On the presence in Las Vegas of this futuristic four-seater coupe with electric propulsion - credited with an autonomy of 1,200 km - there are no official news at the moment, but the presentation date communicated by Mercedes, January 3, 2022 which coincides with the first press day at CES, and the history of the relationship between the three-pointed star and the great event dedicated to electronic innovation, I plead in favor of a premiere for this great novelty.

in Las Vegas, a tradition of great surprises

Las Vegas was the stage, in 2015, of the amazing presentation (the car arrived alone in the theater with CEO Dieter Zetsche on board) of the first self-driving flagship, the F015.

To then amaze again in 2020 with the running prototype - inspired by the world of the film Avatar - and called Vision AVTR.

After these two very distant cars, if only for reasons of costs and homologation, from the reality of the market, the Vision EQXX prototype seems to have - at least from the teaser images released in the past few hours through social media by Gorden Wagener himself, head of design of the Group - characteristics that can be transferred to a future Mercedes.

As anticipated by Markus Schäfer, member of the board of Daimler with responsibility for research and Coo of Mercedes Benz Car, the EQXX will shine for its aerodynamic characteristics, with a Cx lower than that (0.20 already a record) of the electric flagship EQS.

"We have been working for some time - said Schäfer via LinkedIn - to translate our strategic ambition to be Lead in Electric Drive into a car. Now, the Vision EQXX is set to become the most efficient electric vehicle we have ever built, with an real autonomy of over 1,000 km ".

The technological innovations will concern the batteries, with very high energy density, and the engine developed by the F1 engineering, the High Performance Powertrain division (HPP).

For the EQXX we are talking about a consumption of less than 9 kW per 100 km, which could allow record autonomy at constant motorway speeds.

In the Mercedes teaser EQXX is indicated as an electric car capable of going, without recharging, from Stuttgart to Nice, two cities that are distant depending on the routes between 850 and 950 km.

But it's also how far Silicon Valley divides from Las Vegas, and the last-minute surprise could just be an EQXX promotional 'ride' from the heart of innovation to CES.
