If Akida is in the new model ... hopefully it will be announced at the Munich Motor Show in September. From the article below which I have copied from another forum I'd say there is a very good chance it is. Would provide a much needed boost to the share price if it is.

Mercedes’all-electricfuture has already begun with a strong range of EQ-badged cars, but a new entry-level car will be revealed soon and we’ve caught it in its latest stage of development.

As part of its plans to shake up its model range this decade in the hope of creating a more premium brand image, Mercedes will introduce an all-new compactluxury carthat should take the position of an EQA saloon. We already know a few details about the new offering and a recent teaser image confirms that aconceptversion will be on display at theMunich Motor Showin September.

(…)Not only will the entry-level Mercedeselectric carcreate a more premium bottom line for the brand’s portfolio, it’ll also mark the debut of a new platform and infotainment system.Based on the firm’s forthcoming MMA underpinnings, the new all-electric compact saloon will rivalTesla’s Model 3as the most affordable model in the Mercedes range.

(…)Despite its position as the cheapest electric Mercedes, we expect it to feature technology from the brand’s record-breakingVision EQXX concept car, which focused on maximising efficiency to deliver range.

In a smaller car such as the first MMA-based model, this will be key, so some of the EQXX’s motor tech (delivering 95 per cent efficiency), power-control electronics and other features could be scaled up for series production in the new model.It’s also likely that the car’s sleek styling will draw on aerodynamic cues first seen on the EQXX to reduce drag and increase range.

Mercedes Chief Technology Officer Markus Schäfertold Auto Express that the battery, e-motor, aspects of the EQXX’s inverter and some ‘bionic engineering’ cast-metal parts will feature on series production cars in the future, sothere will be a large carryover from this test bed. “We wanted to have something that mirrored what was happening in the real world,” he said of the EQXX. “We want to bring this tech to series production and see the same results.”

Källenius was also keen to highlight how: “This new MMA architecture ushers in a new generation of technology,both on the drivetrain side in terms of battery chemistry, efficiency, and the drivetrain itself.”

(…)

This tech transfer will extend to the infotainment, because the new car will also mark the debut of Mercedes’ MB.OS infotainment system. The new model will likely offer a widescreen digital dash and infotainment panel as part of the company’s target for its advanced graphical interfaces, but it’s the system behind the scenes that could be even more interesting.

Mercedes has experimented with a new type of processor that performs tasks in “neuromorphic spikes”. Put simply, this means that the computer stores up tasks and executes them in one go once a threshold is reached, saving energy and boosting driving range in the process.

Unlike premium rivals such asVolvoandPolestar, who have paired with Google for their infotainment software, the German firm is going it alone with the development of MB.OS, and Chief Software Officer Magnus Östberg told Auto Express: “We are the architects of our own house, as it were. It’s important to have ownership of your own OS for safety and security.”

The new saloon was initially thought to be calledEQA, but the name is now uncertain following reports that Mercedes will drop the EQ branding for EVs as its range moves towards full-electric models in Europe by 2030. Whatever it’s called, this new car represents the start of a renewed focus on profit per car and sales margins, rather than volume. The company is pushing its most affordable models further upmarket, with a greater focus on higher-margin, luxury cars.
