The Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV has been unveiled, alongside its high-performance sibling, the Mercedes-AMG EQE SUV.
The standard EQE SUV range will be offered in three variants:
-
Rear-wheel drive EQE 350+
-
All-wheel drive EQE 350 4MATIC
-
EQE 500 4MATIC.
The EQE 350+ delivers an electric driving range of up to 366 miles (WLTP), while all models support DC rapid charging at speeds of up to 170 kW. The EQE 500 4MATIC produces up to 858 Nm of torque, while the flagship Mercedes-AMG EQE 53 4MATIC+ delivers up to 687 hp.
Higher performance options
For those looking for more performance, Mercedes-AMG will offer two models: the EQE 43 4MATIC+ and the range-topping EQE 53 4MATIC+.
Ready for everyday life
Practicality hasn't been overlooked either. The all-wheel drive 4MATIC models can tow up to 1,800 kg, while the rear-wheel drive EQE 350+ has a towing capacity of 750 kg.
Despite its SUV proportions, the EQE SUV has been designed with aerodynamics in mind. A carefully optimised underbody helps achieve a drag coefficient from just Cd 0.25, an impressive figure for an SUV.
Every EQE SUV comes equipped with a heat pump as standard. This recovers waste heat from the electric motor, inverter and high-voltage battery to help warm the cabin, reducing the energy required for heating and helping to maximise driving range. Owners will also have access to Mercedes me Charge, along with Plug & Charge functionality for compatible public charging stations.
Interior
Inside, buyers can specify the optional MBUX Hyperscreen, which combines three displays beneath a single glass surface stretching across the width of the dashboard (Inspired by the Honda e?). Mercedes says the system reduces the need to navigate through multiple on-screen menus, making key functions easier to access.
Other available options include AIRMATIC air suspension with continuously adjustable damping and the ability to raise the ride height for additional ground clearance. Rear-axle steering, with a maximum steering angle of up to 10 degrees, is also available to improve manoeuvrability.
Production of the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV was scheduled to begin at the company's Alabama plant in December 2022, with batteries supplied by a nearby factory that also produces battery packs for the EQS SUV.
