Mercedes To Reveal i3 Killing EV Hatchback At Frankfurt Motor Show

The new electric car concept, presently undergoing construction at Mercedes-Benz’s in-house prototype workshop near its headquarters in Stuttgart, is said to preview the German car maker’s planned entry-level EQ A. That model is planned to go on sale in 2020 as part of a full line-up of electric-powered models.

Conceived as a direct rival to the BMW i3 and an upcoming production version of the Volkswagen I.D., the new electric hatchback is among 10 new EVs being developed by Mercedes-Benz in an £8.6 billion programme and which are planned to go on sale before 2025.

It shouldn't be hard to best the BMW i3. With it's dismal range and lofty price tag, it seems the the i3's market is just the folks who want to tout that they drive a BMW EV.

They want to "kill" a model that is already dead due to lack of sales?

So I guess this obnoxious lighted/glowing MB emblem is the future of their design language.
