Based on the latest video of I4 being tested, the vehicle will look like the next generation Gran Coupe - only electrified. I believe BMW is very much aware that transition to EV technology should not be a leap faith for a core customers.
Mercedes? It's unclear what visual design direction has been chosen by its designers. For unknown reasons, EQA has borrowed many contour elements from Balenciaga sneaker (all rights respectfully acknowledged).
PS. VW ID.4 is much more appealing than EQA.

The EQA is a half-baked EV, much like the iX3, its sole purpose is simply to pass EU regulations and to not get fined for producing enough efficient vehicles.
The new EQ products that are on a pure EV platform will have controversial and "futuristic" designs to set them apart from the normal ICE vehicles that will likely have the "look at me I'm an EV" theme that many manufacturers have gone with.
