Based on the Mercedes Vito van, the EQV is a seven-seat people carrier.
Prices start at £70,655 for the new model, which will be available in the Autumn.
A 90kWh battery provides a range of 213 miles, while the EQV’s electric motor produces 204PS and 364Nm.
Rapid charging allows the battery to charge from 10% to 80% in 45 minutes, where possible.
The EQV features the brand’s MBUX infotainment system with EQ-specific features, including charging current and energy flow.
