Mercedes EQT 2024. Lightning struck the sliding door

Exactly two years after the PREMIERE of the research model, The 2024 Mercedes EQT makes its production debut. Of course, the style here is more reduced and we can forget about designer fireworks, but that is not important. What matters most is practicality and universality. How does the German brand’s new van fare in this regard?

Mercedes EQT 2024. German by stamp, French by blood

It’s no secret that the Mercedes EQT is a Renault Kangoo/Nissan Townstar with a different badge. Germany has decided to expand its cooperation with the Renault-Nissan alliance to develop the segment of small commercial vehicles and kombi.

In terms of the Stuttgart brand, we have three versions of this car to choose from. The Citan is a more utilitarian variant, offered as a sheetmetal body and a simple station wagon. The T-Class offers better equipment and a better interior finish. The EQT, on the other hand, is an electric variant of the T-Class, which has a slightly smaller front end.

The changes are not revolutionary, but they can be seen with the eyes. Germany decided to introduce a black grille, referring to other models in the EQ range. However, this is where the new things to see in this car end.

In the cabin of Mercedes EQT we will find valuable components of equipment from other models of the brand

We are talking here mainly about the MBUX system, which is one of the best on the market. So we get full connectivity with smartphones, voice control via “Hey Mercedes” and internet access.

The electric differential does not have a small space in the cabin compared to the combustion model, which includes a large one. The loading sill remains at 56 cm, and the large boot lid enables access to large items. The side sliding doors on both sides of the car are also nice.

Such statistics are held by the new electrician with a star on his hat. These are not fun values, but the urban versatility is what is considered in this car. In such cases, a distance of 250 km would be an achievable result.

AC charging with a maximum power of 22 kW is enough to fully charge the battery in 2 hours. Direct current fast charging (CCS socket) is also available, with a power of 80 kW. In this case, we will charge from 10 to 80% in 38 minutes. Standard equipment for this car is also a heat pump, which will work in cold countries.
