Jörg Burzer, member of the Board of Management of Mercedes-Benz Cars, Production and Supply Chain, will reveal the plans of Mercedes-Benz Cars and Vans.

The EQ family will take center stage at the Frankfurt Motor Show 2019, as the EQV series production model is scheduled for its public debut. This is the list of the premieres that will arrive in Frankfurt next month:

Mercedes-Benz EQV

Exhibited this past spring as a prototype at the Geneva Motor Show, the new electric model will be revealed in series production variant. It is the world’s first electric MPV and, similar to the conventional model, it can be configured with 6, 7 or 8 seats, in order to meet the demands of families, VIP transportation or cargo shipment.

Mercedes-AMG ONE

Mercedes-AMG ONE is the name of the future hypercar of the company. The designation hints to the fact that the car will take over the technology of the Formula 1 racing cars. Only 275 such units will be built and sold for a sky-high price of 2.275 million Euros.

Mercedes-AMG A 45 and CLA 45

The all-new Mercedes-AMG A 45 and CLA 45 get the world’s most powerful 4-cylinder engine ever built for series production. The top variants of the two come with 421 horsepower, a figure reserved for the S models.

Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe

As expected, the GLE Coupe gets the design of the standard variant, but gets a descending roofline. The cab of the SUV coupe will also mimick that of the SUV revealed this year and also the engine range. The high-ride coupe will also receive the 48-Volt active suspension system.

Mercedes-Benz GLB

The new Mercedes-Benz GLB is the company’s first compact SUV, capable of transporting up to seven people, thanks to its generous wheelbase of 2,829 mm. The access to the rear seats will be easily made as the second seats row comes with Easy Entry function.
