The Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV may be the most important model in the company’s electric vehicle rollout.

Like the closely related EQE sedan, as well as the larger EQS and EQS SUVs, the EQE SUV rides on the all-electric MEA platform.
Mercedes-Benz has yet to confirm which powertrains will be offered on the EQE SUV, but we would be surprised if they differ significantly from those available on the EQE.

The next step is a AMG EQE 43 4Matic, has two electric motors, all-wheel drive, and total system power is 250kW and 858Nm. This reduces the sedan’s 0-100km/h time to 4.2 seconds.
At the top of the pile is AMG EQE 53 4Matic +which has a dual-motor system with 460kW and 950Nm, which means tons can be achieved in 3.5 seconds.
