Mercedes-Benz has applied the boxy look of its rugged G-Class off-roader to its latest battery-powered car, the EQB.
The compact SUV will offer seating for up to seven people and is targeted at families who want a greener alternative to the GLB combustion engine model on which it's based.
The EQB's driving range is 478 km (260 miles) under Europe's WLTP testing regime, Mercedes owner Daimler said in a statement on Sunday, ahead of the SUV's unveiling at the Shanghai auto show.
"With the all new EQB we have created an iconic electric SUV that takes the heritage of our boxy off-road vehicles and transforms this into the future," Daimler's design chief, Gorden Wagener, said in the statement.
