The new EQE SUV: high-tech and luxury meet versatility

The EQE SUV is the multi-purpose variant of the EQE executive sedan. Like the latter, it is available with the essential innovations of the EQS, and is simultaneously more dynamic than the EQS SUV. The EQE SUV is one of the most spacious representatives of its class. Yet, it is more compact than the EQE Sedan, and at 3030 millimetres, has a wheelbase that is nine centimetres shorter. The external dimensions are 4863/1940/1686 millimetres (length/width¹/height). As the fourth model after the two EQS and EQE Sedans as well as the EQS SUV, the EQE SUV uses the new all-electric platform.

Extensive range of driving assistance systems

The current generation of driving assistance systems includes numerous functions that support the driver. The general standard equipment of the EQE SUV includes ATTENTION ASSIST, Active Brake Assist, Active Lane Keeping Assist, Parking Package with reversing camera, and Speed Limit Assist. The status and activity of the systems are shown in a full-screen view in the assistance display found in the driver's display.

Particularly manoeuvrable and agile

The chassis of the new EQE SUV comprises of a four-link suspension at the front, and an independent, multi-link suspension at the rear. Due to the comparatively short wheelbase of 3030 millimetres and the corresponding suspension tuning, it feels particularly agile and manoeuvrable – even with the basic set-up. The AIRMATIC air suspension with ADS+ continuously adjustable damping is available as an option. To increase ground clearance, the vehicle level can be raised by up to 30 millimetres². In addition to the DYNAMIC SELECT programs of ECO, COMFORT, SPORT and INDIVIDUAL, the EQE SUV also boasts the OFFROAD program for off-road driving. A rear axle steering system with a maximum steering angle of 10 degrees is available as an option.

Always up to date

The EQE SUV offers the possibility of activating additional vehicle functions via over-the-air technology (OTA) in a number of functional areas. This means that after purchase and having chosen the original new car configuration, some of the EQE SUV's equipment can be individually customized. The OTA functions are available in the Mercedes me Store, and the range will be successively expanded.

MBUX Hyperscreen on request

With adaptive software, the MBUX display and operating system provides personalized suggestions for numerous infotainment, comfort and vehicle functions. A highlight of the interior is the optional MBUX Hyperscreen. With the zero-layer design, the user does not have to scroll through submenus or give voice commands. With the optional MBUX Hyperscreen, three displays merge almost seamlessly into one another to create a screen band over 141 centimetres wide. The front passenger in the EQE SUV has the option of a 12.3-inch OLED display with its own user interface. The system uses an intelligent, camera-based blocking logic that recognizes if the driver is looking toward the front passenger display. If this is the case, the system automatically dims the dynamic content for safety reasons.

Clever route planning

When it comes to Navigation with Electric Intelligence, the name says it all. For on the basis of numerous factors, it plans the fastest and most convenient route – including charging stops. It also reacts dynamically to traffic jams or a change in driving style. Furthermore, the driver can edit the planned routes individually. This includes adding preferred charging stations along the route, or excluding proposed charging stations.

Heat pump as standard

The EQE SUV features a sophisticated thermal architecture with a heat pump as standard. This makes the system work very efficiently; the waste heat from the electric drive (inverter and electric motor) and the high-voltage battery can be used to heat the interior. This drastically reduces the draw on battery power for the heating system, all while increasing the range. Another pleasant and efficient function is pre-entry climate control. The THERMATIC automatic climate control system with two climate zones is fitted as standard, while the THERMOTRONIC with four zones is available as an option.

New sound experience

"Serene Breeze" is the name of the new, fourth soundscape that makes its debut in the EQE SUV. It offers a relaxed and natural sound. With the holistic sound staging, the paradigm shift from combustion engine to electric car becomes audible for the occupants in the Mercedes-EQ models. A variety of soundscapes allows for an individual acoustic set-up. An optional interior driving sound is available. This adjusts adaptively to the driving style.

A host of high-tech features

ENERGIZING AIR CONTROL Plus; the HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filter cleans the incoming outside air at its very high filtration level. ENERGIZING COMFORT links together various comfort systems in the vehicle. The individual ENERGIZING COMFORT programs enable a special, feel-good program depending on the mood or needs of the customer. This enhances physical comfort and performance, both while driving and during a break. The Dolby Atmos sound format^® takes the audio experience in the EQE SUV to a new level.

Distinctive purpose design

The proportions of the EQE SUV combine function and aesthetics with the sporty character of the SUV. The overhangs and the front-end assembly have been kept compact. The wheels, in sizes from 19 to 22 inches, are positioned flush with the outer edge of the body and lend a commanding stance.

MBUX Hyperscreen and leather-free equipment available

The EQE SUV is based on the large electric platform from Mercedes‑EQ. On top of this, it boasts an interior that has been consistently digitalized. The optionally available MBUX Hyperscreen implements this vision to impressive effect. The standard interior does not make use of any leather at all.³

High level of passive safety

The principles of Integral Safety apply regardless of the type of drive system. Like all other Mercedes‑Benz models, the EQE SUV therefore has a rigid passenger compartment, special deformation zones and state-of-the-art restraint systems. If a passenger in the rear is not wearing a seat belt, the driver receives a specific warning. The occupant presence reminder can indicate children who may have been overlooked in the rear of the vehicle. In vehicles for Canada, this system is on board as standard.

CO2-neutral production as part of the eco-balance

Production of the EQE SUV will start at the Mercedes‑Benz plant in Tuscaloosa, Alabama (USA) in December. The battery factory, in the nearby Bibb County, supplies the batteries for this model as well as for the EQS SUV. Since this year, all of brand's own passenger car and van plants worldwide have achieved CO2-neutral production as part of their eco-balance – including the two Mercedes‑Benz plants in Alabama.
