The EQV looks otherwise the same as a V class except for the revised “electric” grille and different wheels.

With seating for up to seven people, the EQV combines practicality with all the advantages of an electric vehicle.

The EQV features the brand’s MBUX infotainment system with EQ-specific features, including important information such as charging current and energy flow.
