Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV

The EQE SUV is the mid-size electric luxury SUV sister to the EQE sedan — built on the same EVA2 platform but with SUV proportions, taller seating, and slightly different powertrain calibration. Built at Mercedes-Benz US International, Tuscaloosa, Alabama — making it one of Mercedes' few US-built EVs (alongside the EQS SUV at the same plant). Launched US for 2023 model year. Powertrain matrix mirrors the EQE sedan: EQE 350+ (single-motor RWD, 215 kW / 288 hp), EQE 350 4MATIC (dual-motor AWD, 288 hp combined), EQE 500 4MATIC (dual-motor AWD, 402 hp), AMG EQE 43 4MATIC (469 hp), and AMG EQE 53 4MATIC+ (505 kW launch / 617 hp / 677 hp with Dynamic Plus package + Race Start). 90.6 kWh usable battery (96.1 kWh nominal). DC fast-charging up to 170 kW. Cabin: dual-screen dashboard standard, optional MBUX Hyperscreen (the 56-inch glass display). 'Hey Mercedes' voice assistant. Pricing $80k-$110k+ for AMG. The EQE SUV has been better-received and better-selling than the EQE sedan — the SUV form factor matches American luxury buyer preferences far better than a sedan. Federal tax credit eligible (USA-built / battery-sourced).
