The business saloon Mercedes-Benz EQE is the second model series to be based on the electric architecture for large vehicles, following the EQS luxury saloon. The staggered global launch will take place in mid-2022. Production will be in Bremen for the world market and in Beijing for the Chinese market. The EQE 350+ with 215 kW offers a range of up to 654 kilometres according to WLTP1. Prices start at 70,626.50 euros. The EQE features a sporty 'purpose design' with all the characteristic elements of Mercedes-EQ, one-bow lines and cab-forward design. Sensual Purity is reflected in generously modelled surfaces, reduced joints and seamless transitions (seamless design). The overhangs and the front end are kept short, the rear provides the dynamic accent with a sharp rear spoiler. Flush with the outer edge of the body, the 19- to 21-inch wheels, together with a pronounced muscular shoulder section, give the #eqe an athletic character.
The model range will include two variants at market launch: the EQE 350+ with 215 kW and the Mercedes‑AMG EQE 43 4MATIC. With 350 kW, this is the entry-level model for electric Driving Performance from Mercedes-AMG. The #eqe 500 4MATIC and Mercedes-AMG EQE 53 4MATIC+ will follow. The battery of the EQE 350+ has a usable energy content of around 90 kWh, while the range of up to 654 km1 according to WLTP makes it absolutely suitable for touring. Navigation with Electric Intelligence plans the fastest and most convenient route, including charging stops, based on numerous factors and reacts dynamically to traffic jams or a change in driving style, for example. This includes a visualisation in the MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) infotainment system as to whether the available battery capacity is sufficient to return to the starting point without charging. Charging stations along the route that have been added manually are given preference in the route calculation. Proposed charging stations can be excluded. The estimated charging costs per charging stop are calculated.
