After its thrill late last year, Mercedes unveiled EQA electric, its latest car as part of its plan to launch a wide range of electric cars in the coming years.
With a 66.5 kW battery, EQA will have a range of less than 486 kilometers, starting at 39,950 euros ($48,440).
EQA, which is based on the GLA class of SUVs from the German car maker, is scheduled to go into production this year in Europe.
EQA is built across the same car platform as the $68,000 EQC, and like EQC, Mercedes relies on the European Standard NEDC to estimate the range of 486 kilometers for the EQA.
EQA, launched as EQA 250, has a 66.5 kW battery, slightly above the average for electric cars on the road today.
Mercedes says it plans to launch additional models of the car, including an all-wheel drive model with an additional electric transmission range that increases power production to 200 kW or more, while also offering a model with a range of more than 500 km.
Interested buyers have some options when it comes to the EQA booth, as they can either choose two 7-inch screens for the instrument panel and the main infotainment screen, or a 10.25-inch dual widescreen.
It will not have a newly unveiled 56-inch 56-inch touchscreen, which is supposed to debut in the upcoming EQS luxury electric sedan.
EQA comes with the second generation of the German automaker's MBUX infotainment system, which avoids physical buttons in favor of the fully digital user experience and in-car voice control.
EQA is almost in the same Hyundai Kona electric class, and has similar specifications as well, as the first model comes with a 188 hp engine compared to the 201 hp kona electric car, but Mercedes plans to offer models up to 268 hp.
Mercedes's predictive mobility feature lets you choose the fastest route, given your charging times, weather, traffic and driving habits.
Other standard features include automatic braking and track maintenance assistance, and the car can pump excess battery heat into the passenger compartment, as Tesla does with model Y.
Mercedes is an entry point for the automaker's growing electric car family.
