Mercedes-Benz EQA electric crossover spied with hardly any camo
January 11, 2021, 11:25 AM ·2 min read
The Mercedes-Benz EQA's official reveal is surely just around the corner, but one of our spy shooters just caught a pair of them driving around with hardly any camouflage. Last we glimpsed Mercedes' electric version of the GLA, both the front and rear were completely shrouded in blue wrapping. Today, there's hardly any left.
What we knew all along is still true: The EQA is basically going to look like the GLA, but with a few changes to indicate its electric powertrain. The white car's lower front fascia looks hardly changed versus the regular GLA, though the blue one appears to have a different lower vent intake with thin, horizontal slats. The same can be said for its front bumper side intakes. Where the blue car has the same slat design, the white EQA has an identical design to the standard GLA with its larger strakes. Expect the covered grille to be a solid, shield-like piece, possibly with blue accents.
We should see even more differentiation between the EQA and GLA out back. It's covered by the camouflage, but Mercedes could be going for a full-width rear taillight in an effort to make the EQA visually different. That'd make it similar to the EQC and tie in with the EQ family look — we already know the EQS is getting the full width taillight treatment. The rear bumper is also missing its dual exhaust cutouts. We can see some minor venting on the white EQA and silver trim on the blue one as decoration. Beyond these elements, it all looks very similar to a standard GLA.
Mercedes hasn't revealed any specs on the EQA yet, so we're still in dark on range and power. The official reveal was meant to happen in 2020, but rumors suggest Covid-19 pushed its launch back to 2021. At the model's current state of camouflage dress, we suspect it'll be revealed any day now.

Feds Charge Capitol Rioter With 'Barbaric' Assault on D.C. Cop Using Police Shield
Criminal ComplaintA Connecticut man was charged Wednesday for allegedly pinning a police officer against a doorway with a riot shield during the Capitol insurrection.Patrick Edward McCaughey III, 23, was charged with assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers or employees, civil disorder, and violent entry or disorderly conduct for his role in the insurrection, according to the Department of Justice. He's among hundreds of rioters who have been charged since Jan. 6, including a Texas real-estate agent who flew to the nation's capital on a private plane and several members of far-right extremist groups. Prosecutors allege McCaughey was among a large group of rioters who attempted to break through a line of uniformed law enforcement officers on Jan. 6 to storm the Capitol through the lower west terrace door. "Unidentified rioters can also be overheard planning and implementing a rotation of rioters to have the 'fresh' rioters up front to combat law enforcement, with various unidentified individuals yelling 'we need fresh patriots in the front' and 'we need fresh people,'" the complaint states. "Unidentified rioters are heard instructing the front line of rioters to make a 'shield-wall' to prevent law enforcement from controlling rioters with oleoresin capsicum spray."'This Is Awesome!': Another Proud Boys Leader Arrested for Storming U.S. CapitolThe complaint states McCaughey was at the front of the mob, "using [a] clear police riot shield to physically push against the left side of" Metropolitan Police Officer Daniel Hodges. In a video posted on YouTube, the cop cries out in pain as he's pinned between the shield and the door.In another video, McCaughey tells the officer to "just go home dude," the complaint states. He's also heard saying "don't try and use that stick on me boy" while continuing to push on Hodges. "You see me. Just go home. Talk to your buddies and go home…. Don't try to use that stick on me. I am not hurting you," McCaughey says in a video, according to the complaint. Instead of helping the officer, a separate rioter "violently" rips off Hodges' gas mask, exposing his "bloodied mouth" as he's still being pinned against the door, the complaint states. Numerous other rioters are behind McCaughey, pushing against the officer. The complaint adds that while McCaughey told other law enforcement officers that Hodges appeared to be hurt, he's also seen in other videos hitting officers with the shield. "Even after days of seeing so many shocking and horrific scenes from the siege on the U.S. Capitol, the savage beating of D.C. Metropolitan Police Officer Hodges stands out for the perpetrator's blatant disregard for human life," Steven M. D'Antuono, assistant director in charge of the FBI Washington Field Office, said in a statement. "Patrick McCaughey's actions were violent, barbaric, and completely out of control. The FBI will relentlessly pursue individuals who took part in this activity and we will continue our unwavering commitment to ensure all those responsible for assaults on law enforcement officers are brought to justice."Beverly Hills Doctor Who Pushed Trump's Favorite COVID Drug Arrested in Capitol RiotsBefore his arrest, the FBI and MPD had asked for the public's assistance in identifying McCaughey, posting photos of the bloody incident online.
