Recently, overseas media exposed a set of latest spy photos of the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV. The test car is already close to the mass-produced version. The styling of the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV will adopt the family-style design of the Mercedes-Benz EQ series, and the interior will also follow the style of the Mercedes-Benz EQS. It is reported that the new car will be officially unveiled in early 2022 and will be introduced domestically in the future.
In terms of appearance, it is expected that the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV will adopt the family style of the "EQ" series of pure electric vehicles, and the body will also be upgraded in details for aerodynamic design. , the size of the car is expected to be similar to that of the Mercedes-Benz GLE, but thanks to the use of electrified architecture, it may have better internal space performance. Compared with previous spy photos, the taillight design of the new car has become more similar to the mass-produced version, and the rim shape also highlights the new car's new energy identity.
The new car is built on the EVA2 platform. This platform can accommodate a 100-kilowatt-hour battery pack, which means that the vehicle has a cruising range of up to About 700 kilometers. However, this kind of endurance performance will appear in flagship models. The endurance range of mid-to-low-end models will not be so much. They may be equipped with 72 kWh or 90 kWh battery packs, and the endurance range is expected to be between 500-650 kilometers. It is understood that the new car will be available in two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions, and a high-performance version will also be launched in the future.
In addition, Mercedes-Benz has also been considering ultra-fast charging technology using a new architecture. The EQE should be able to charge at a speed of 350 kilowatts, which will take about 20 minutes. Recharges the battery to 80% capacity. At the same time, the car may also have more advanced and easy-to-use autonomous driving capabilities that will at least surpass the L2 level.
It is worth mentioning that according to previous information, the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV will be domestically produced by Beijing Benz in the future. Now the domestically produced Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV project may have been approved by the Beijing Municipal Development and Reform Commission. After completing the registration, it will be produced in China at Beijing Benz Shunyi Factory in 2023, and sales will begin later.
