Mercedes-Benz is developing an SUV counterpart to its recently revealed EQE electric sedan.
The EQE SUV is due out later this, meaning we should see it arrive as a 2023 model. It will be built at Mercedes' plant in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, where the EQS SUV is already in production.
The EQE SUV may look like the EQS SUV, but there are some subtle differences. The rear doors and trunk section don't stretch as long here, compared to the EQS SUV. The front overhang of the EQE SUV is also shorter, and its hood positioned not quite as high. The EQE SUV also appears to have front fenders that are separate to the hood, whereas the EQS SUV has the front fenders joined with the hood, like on the EQS hatchback and EQE sedan.
There's no shot of the interior but the design here should match up with the EQE sedan, whose own interior design matches up with the EQS hatchback and EQS SUV. This means buyers can look forward to the dash-wide Hyperscreen as an option.Expect the EQE SUV at launch to have a similar powertrain setup to the EQE sedan. This means the standard setup should feature a 90-kilowatt-hour battery and a single motor at the rear delivering 288 hp and 391 lb-ft of torque.
As for range, the larger, more powerful EQS with a 107.8-kwh battery delivers a maximum EPA-rated range of 350 miles. We can expect something similar for the smaller EQE SUV on account of its smaller battery. It's possible Mercedes will launch models with a higher range at a later date.
