The EQE SUV offers four levels of regenerative braking. There are a lot of clever aerodynamic decisions at work in the EQE SUV, including something Mercedes named the “9 o’clock spoiler” for its position just forward of the rear driver’s side wheel (it’d be the “3 o’clock spoiler” on the passenger side), where it redirects airflow away from the spinning tire. We won’t be surprised if America’s affluent suburbs start filling up with EQE SUVs. No matter the trim level, the EQE SUV accepted plenty of safe challenges to overtake slower-moving traffic on straightaways. It was criminally easy to stay on track when I used the optional head-up display. The excellent navigation system and a set of easy-to-use infotainment controls let me keep my eyes on the narrow roads around Lisbon. Newcomers might feel overwhelmed by the sheer amount of tech in the dashboard, especially with the optional MBUX Hyperscreen and the plethora of safety features, but they will be familiar to anyone who’s spent time in other Mercedes EQ EVs. The two-row EQE SUV manages this without being desperate for attention. Mercedes wouldn’t let all this new tech come wrapped in anything but a stylish package. Second, a small but crucial technological advance-Mercedes’ new DCU in the EQE SUV-speaks to the long-term improvements we will keep seeing in this EV revolution. First, as we learned when Mercedes unveiled this people hauler last fall, the number of good-looking luxury EV options continues to grow. The EQE SUV advances Mercedes’ electric vehicle work in two ways.
Mercedes calls it the “multipurpose variant.” There’s obviously more room for people and things and a higher seating position, but one of the more significant differences is the SUV’s 119.3-inch wheelbase, which is 3.5 inches shorter than the sedan’s. We’ve gotten to know the EQS and EQE Sedans and the EQS SUV, so it was familiar territory when we met the fourth member of the family, the 2023 EQE SUV, during a recent test drive in southern Portugal.Īs the name suggests, the EQE SUV is a utility version of the EQE Sedan. After a century of explosive work there-in an industry with nearly two decades of impressive advances in vehicle electrification-the company’s engineers are accepting new challenges in the form of the all-electric EQ family.
