Mercedes has revealed more information surrounding its upcoming EQE electric sedan.
Ahead of the 2021 IAA Mobility conference on September 7, Mercedes has revealed some of the specs and tech drivers can expect from its upcoming EQE electric sedan. The fully electric car is the second model to be based on the automaker’s new premium-class electric architecture, following the launch of the super-luxury Mercedes EQS back in April, and while it bears several similarities to its larger sibling, the EQE will arrive as a much different electric offering. For starters, its interior and exterior dimensions make the EQE a more athletic-looking car. It’s more compact than the EQS, with a wheelbase that’s 90mm shorter and a body more comparable to the existing CLS line. Like the latter, the EQE has no tailgate but a fixed rear window and a boot lid, which Mercedes says allows it to boast interior space that exceeds even the current E-Class. The EQE will also sport a 90 kWh battery, giving the car up to 660km (around 410 miles) of range. That’s shy of the EQS’ equivalent 780km figure, though still a mightily impressive drivable range considering the lesser numbers offered by comparable EVs like the Audi e-tron GT (475km / 295 miles) or BMW i4 (590km / 365 miles).
