Mercedes-Benz EQ teaser shows plush four-seater

The concept appears to be a toned down EV adaptation of the F 015.

Mercedes-Benz has released teaser photos for a futuristic EQ concept that will debut in Frankfurt.

Interior shots show a luxurious four-seat layout that resembles the F 015, a hydrogen-powered concept presented in 2015 with rotating seats to fully take advantage of self-driving technology.

The EQ concept is clearly far from production spec yet significantly toned down from the F 015. Ditching hydrogen makes sense amid the shift toward all-electric powertrains.

The company has not mentioned if the bold concept will eventually inspire a production crossover. Additional details will presumably be announced at its formal unveiling.
