The EQG concept electric SUV showcased at the CES 2024 in United States earlier this month also performed actions which promise the electric SUV to come with new features. The model showcased tank turns at the event, thanks to the electric motors fitted to each wheel. The tank turn is performed by applying a forward or reverse power to each corner, which allows the car to perform a 360-degree turn on its axis. This particular feature may not be necessary in daily use but, in case of off-roading, tank turns could be useful to rotate the vehicle a few degrees to get the car on track if the trail is tight.
