Merging Luxury & Utility: Mercedes’ EQV Rolls into Singapore
What’s New?
The Mercedes‑EQV is no ordinary van. It’s the brand’s first fully electric MPV that’s ready to serve both private families and bustling businesses. In Singapore, you’ll only find the EQV 300 Avantgarde, priced at about $390,888 with COE already baked into the total.
Design Tweaks That Turn Heads
- Black radiator grille with chrome fins—fancy enough to make the V‑Class look a touch more street‑smart.
- 18‑inch lightweight wheels that hint at a more agile, fun‑to‑drive personality.
Tuned for Power and Range
Under the hood (or, rather, under the cab), the EQV packs a 204‑hp electric motor that delivers 366 Nm of torque. Plug it in, and you’ll get a 100‑kWh battery that promises roughly 426 km of cruising before you need to recharge.
Charging Made Easy
- AC wallbox (11 kW): ≈10 hours to top up.
- DC fast charger: 40‑75 minutes to jump from 10 % to 80 % (lightest 50 kW, most efficient 110 kW).
- Energy consumption: 29.8 kWh/100 km.
- Exporting Environment Score (VES): A2 — qualifies for a $15,000 rebate.
Inside the Ride
Don’t let its van vibe fool you: the interior feels more like a Mercedes passenger car than a delivery chassis. A 10‑inch touchscreen sits conveniently on the center console, ready for the driver to tap away at any time.
Feel Good, Drive Good
With the EQV, Mercedes is proving you can have the best of both worlds: a luxurious, tech‑savvy space that also satisfies the practical demands of a busy Singapore lifestyle. Plug in, drive out, and experience the next chapter in electric mobility—without missing a beat of style or utility.
Meet the Mercedes EQV: Electric Luxury with a Dash of Fun
1⃣ Smart Dashboard: The “Hey Mercedes” Crew
The MBUX infotainment system is the brain behind the wheel, powered by the Hey Mercedes intelligent voice‑control. It’s like having a personal assistant that doesn’t judge you for the drive‑through orders you keep asking it to add.
- Real‑time EV stats: charging status, energy flow, and consumption graphics—all right at your fingertips.
- Instant updates from navigation to safety – the system keeps you in the loop, so you can focus on the road.
2⃣ Interior Bliss: Wheels, Relaxation, and Storage
The second‑row is the ultimate “chill zone.” Think cozy reclining seats that offer massage, heating, and ventilation – because even the car should feel like a spa. And hey, it also includes a storage nook big enough for mugs, phones, and that mysterious snack you forget you bought.
Third‑row? Don’t be afraid – it’s roomy enough for three adults, each seat adjustable on a bench for extra flexibility. The bench’s design may look simple, but it delivers maximum freedom.
3⃣ Performance & Regeneration: Braking to Boost Your Battery
Like every EV, the EQV boasts hand‑tuned regenerative braking that recovers energy from every slowdown, pushing it back into the battery. The driver can tweak the regeneration strength to match the drive feel.
- D Auto Level: A selectable mode that leverages the Ford‑like Eco Assistant to auto‑adjust regeneration on the fly.
- Smart Adaptation: Uses navigation data and smart safety inputs to determine the best energy recapture balance.
4⃣ The Mercedes‑EQ Lineup in Singapore
Mercedes is charged up in Singapore’s electric scene:
- EQS – The luxury flagship.
- EQB – Compact seven‑seat SUV, just landed.
- EQC & EQA – Crossover fun from last year.
- Next up: EQE sedan, sized like an E‑Class, scheduled for a roll‑out in the next few months.
With the EQV riding the wave, Mercedes is proving that electric isn’t just about green tech—it’s about style, comfort, and a little bit of cheeky charm.
