Video Summary
Here is the summary of the YouTube video review of the electric car:- The vehicle reviewed is the Mercedes EQT, an electric van intended for the compact van segment.
- There will be a short-wheelbase and long-wheelbase version of this car.
- There will be a combustion engine version, called the T-class.
- There is an electric camping version of this model.
- It has a partially closed grill, more closed than the combustion engine version, but not fully closed. The integration is more subtle. It has High-Performance LED headlights.
- Mercedes philosophy is not to differentiate the EV from the combustion engine version.
- AC and DC charging is available. 10 to 80% state of charge in 38 minutes, which isn't industry leading.
- Exterior design features a high gloss black cover for the outside mirrors.
- It includes 17-inch wheels.
- Sliding doors for both sides allow for a flexible interior. The length is 4m 50, about 177 inches.
- It offers towing capacity of 1.5 tons for both EV and IC versions.
- It has 19-inch wheels that were not tuned by Brabus.
- There is a discussion about potential plans for "smart" window shades that are electrically charged.
- A front "trunk" (frunk) isn't present.
- Range is estimated at about 250 kilometers or 150 miles.
- It's best suited as a people carrier inside the city or for camping trips in the local region.
- They have a rigid rear axle. While also available for the normal T-Class, those carrying heavy things, like extra weight for the battery, may get a stronger rear axle. They said that this may result in the loss of the comfort that people expect.
- It also has manual climate dials.
- The seat has an animal-free trim.
- This is a people mover for short ranges.
- It is for transporting people inside the city. It can be for taking them to a soccer club or the beach. It would not be for long road trips.
- There is a Brabus camper module with a stove and a fridge. There will be used water and fresh water tanks.
- A pull-out table can be added.
- An individual is able to install this, and not just in the rear part. For those who want to install the tent or the rooftop, it is for the back part.
- For the back seats there's isofix and you will easily reach those. However, if you are a taller person (i.e., 6ft 2) there is barely any leg room. You can move the back seat a little for better range in leg room. However, they had to take the rear seat bolsters and set it up to make sure that it is a safe angle with the child’s seat, otherwise it will not be safe. They made the seat back side more flat so that the car will allow children to travel safely.
