The production-ready EQ SUV will be the first of more than 10 fully electric cars that Mercedes is planning on launching by the year 2025, with the GLC-like crossover set to arrive in 2019.
Daimler will build the car at their Bremen plant, which currently also makes the C-Class, E-Class, GLC, SL and SLC models, and will also house the fuel-cell operated GLC, as reported by Autonews.
The EQ SUV's new battery is said to be developed by Accumotive and produced in Kamenz. Overall, Mercedes have claimed a driving range of up to 500 km (310 miles) on a single charge - which would put them directly in "Tesla-rivaling territory".
In terms of straight line performance, the Generation EQ Concept was claimed to put down 402 HP and 700 Nm (516 lb-ft) of torque, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in less than 5 seconds.
As for pricing, Daimler boss Dieter Zetsche said that the final product would cost about as much as a "reasonably equipped Mercedes GLC".
