Mercedes-Benz introduced its answer to the BMW i sub-brand at the 2016 Paris Motor Show.

The German automaker has its sights set at competing in the electric vehicle segment, showing off the Generation EQ Concept in Paris. It’s a bit of a Tesla Model X fighter, with two separate electric motors generating around 400 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. Mercedes claims it has a driving range of about 310 miles and permanent all-wheel drive helps contribute to a zero-to-62 mph [0-100 km/h] time of less than five seconds.

The big news is that this concept is just the first of what will become multiple electric vehicles from Mercedes-Benz, all of which will fall under the “EQ” sub-brand.
