Mercedes-Benz VLE 4WD version of domestic real car exposure using 800V architecture/life of more than 700km
Recently, a netizen (blogger @ designerbanmao) accidentally found a Mercedes-Benz VLE (parameter | inquiry) real car in a service area in China, with the tail label "Fujian Mercedes-Benz". The new car has been officially released overseas. According to previous news, the Mercedes-Benz VLE will be built on the new MPV platform, equipped with an 800V electrical architecture, with a pure battery life of more than 700km under WLTP conditions, and will be produced in China. Friendly reminder: If you have a new car spy photo/new car leak, please click edit avatar (app only) to send us a private message and look forward to hearing from you. Note: The spy photo was taken in a public open area, and the privacy protection background has been coded. Based on the exposed photos, the image shows the complete tail design of the Mercedes-Benz VLE. Its shape is basically the same as the official drawings released earlier, and it uses a highly recognizable ring taillight group. The words "Fujian Benz" and the "VLE 400 4MATIC" logo on the tail label confirm the specific model of the car; it is expected that both power combinations (VLE 300 and VLE 400 4MATIC) have a high probability of being domestic. Interestingly, after enlarging the picture, you can clearly see that the tail label of the vehicle is quite "scribbled", and some letter pasting positions are very irregular, so the specific status of the car is still unknown, and it is not even excluded that it is an imported model label. After all, the production line of the Fujian Benz New Energy Business Vehicle Platform has not yet been put into use, and it is expected that the new car will be officially put into production after October. Affected by the occlusion of the on-site trailer, the front design details of the domestic Mercedes-Benz VLE cannot be fully identified. However, the large shield-shaped enclosed grille and chrome trim can still be observed from the visible part, which can be judged that the car adopts a luxurious style appearance kit, and the wheel rim of the car also adopts a multi-spoke design, which highlights the luxury atmosphere. In addition, previously controversial hidden door handles in the country are still retained. According to the previous overseas announcement, the Mercedes-Benz VLE will also provide an AMG-style exterior kit, which is more sporty than the model in the figure, with a dark grille and black trim, as well as AMG-style rims. According to the interior official drawings, the center console of the new VLE is an overall penetration design, adopting a family-style triple screen + ambient ambiance lamp, and providing different Nakajima sizes and a variety of seat combinations. As an MPV, the seat of the Mercedes-Benz VLE has a function called "Roll & Go", that is, the seat can be detached in any position in addition to being locked in any position, and when detached, the seat can be easily moved by the integrated 4 rollers. In terms of power, the new Mercedes-Benz VLE will be based on an 800V high-voltage architecture and will be available in two models, the VLE 300 and the VLE 400 4MATIC. Among them, the VLE 300 will be equipped with a 200kW front-axle permanent magnet synchronous motor, with a range of 700km under WLTP conditions; the VLE 400 4MATIC will be equipped with front and rear dual motors, with a maximum power of 305kW. Earlier models will be equipped with 115kWh ternary lithium batteries, followed or will continue to be launched with 85kWh lithium iron phosphate batteries.
