The EQXX is constructed from a mix of composites, high strength steel and 3D-printed aluminum, much of it designed using bionic principles to optimize their mix of strength and mass. It also uses a 100 kilowatt-hour battery pack that’s half the size and a third lighter than one of the same capacity used in the EQS.

The Vision EQXX is approximately the same size and weight as a conventional Mercedes-Benz C-Class.
