The Mercedes-Benz Vision Iconic Might Be Too Beautiful to Actually Drive

The Vision Iconic concept combines handcrafted Art Deco style with solar paint and neuromorphic computing, offering up to 7,400 miles of extra electric range annually, Mercedes says.

  • Recently, Mercedes-Benz unveiled the two-door Vision Iconic concept at Shanghai Fashion Week, blending handcrafted Art Deco styling with advanced technology and previewing future two-door coupe design.
  • Earlier this year, rumors about a flagship coupe arose after Mercedes trademarked two‑door S‑Class trademarks, while the Vision Iconic echoes grille design from the 2026 GLC revealed last month.
  • Solar and neuromorphic systems could add up to 7,400 miles annually and improve energy efficiency by 90%, while Mercedes says the concept includes steer‑by‑wire with Level 2 autonomy and potential for Level 4.
  • Mercedes will trial Apptronik's Apollo humanoid robot on factory floors and deliver the updated EQS sedan plus electric vans from North Charleston factory later this year.
  • Mercedes argues the Vision Iconic tests if technology can serve emotion to create human‑centered luxury, framing it as `a new era of iconic design` that may shape the luxury EV market soon.
