ERCEDES-BENZ HAS REVEALED ITS ALL-ELECTRIC executive saloon, the EQE. The saloon, expected to go on sale from the third quarter of 2022, uses a shortened version of the EQS platform, and shares a similar roof profile with the company’s electric flagship. The electric architecture means overhangs and the front end are kept short, while the passenger space is maximised, with interior dimensions greater than those of today’s
26
E-Class. The overall interior length is 80mm bigger than the E-Class, while there is 27mm more shoulder room in the front. The EQE has a wheelbase that is 90mm
shorter than the EQS (3,120mm), and externally it is similar in size to a MercedesBenz CLS. The EQE has a fixed rear window and a boot lid rather than a tailgate. Boot capacity is 430 litres. The interior design and equipment are clearly based on the EQS, with the full-width digital MBUX Hyperscreen dash panel as used on the EQS. Among options are rearaxle steering, which reduces the turning circle from 12.5m to 10.7m.
