The original EQA from 2017 was a conceptual electric hatchback before the name was repurposed for a battery-powered crossover in 2021. Mercedes could reuse the moniker for a third body style in the years to come by introducing an EQA sedan. Seen here is an early prototype of a CLA-like swoopy saloon that does away with the combustion engine. It's been caught testing on the streets of Germany while wearing a mélange of provisional and final parts.
Much like the larger and more expensive Mercedes models, it has flush door handles for better airflow to unlock extra range. The rear handles are actually sticking out from the body even though the car is moving, but that obviously won't be the case on the production-ready EQA (name not confirmed). If you're worried as to why the headlights and taillights look so strange, it’s because they're temporary clusters that won't be used in the final version.
