What We Know About The 2022 EQE Sedan
Earlier this year, the opulent German automaker, Mercedes-Benz revealed its highly anticipated fully-electric EQE sedan in a teaser video. The voguish flagship rocks sleek LED tail lights, a husky back-end, and updated aerodynamics. The car is already proving that it’s on the top of its game with its extensive setup of features like the cutting-edge MBUX Hyperscreen.
Other than that, the newest electric vehicle is also geared with a 17.7-inch infotainment system, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and a 12.3-inch display for the driver’s co-pilot. Additional features that are guaranteed to catch the eye of anyone encompass a new three-spoke steering wheel, a head-up display, a floating center console, ambient lighting, and the brand’s signature turbine-style air vents.
As stated by various reports, the soon to be revealed EQE will likely have two variants at its disposal. The first may be the 450 model, which will come geared with a rear axle-mounted electric motor that will have the ability to produce 329 horsepower and 568 Nm of torque. The second, which is predicted to be the posher variant, would be a 580 4MATIC® model. This version of the car will come equipped with a 4MATIC® variant with dual motors and should likely bring out 516 horsepower and 855 Nm of torque.
Moreover, the lavish vehicle will also bundle in the all-wheel-drive (AWD) system. Until recently, Mercedes-Benz particularly confirmed anything and other details concerning the powertrain can only be regarded as speculation by hopeful car bloggers and enthusiasts. The famous manufacturer will also display AMG®’s first electric car, along with an electric Maybach concept at the Munich Auto Show. Additionally, there are various other car companies such as Audi and Renault that will also be part of the affair.
Fast Facts
- Mercedes-Benz is still early in its transition to becoming a fully-electric brand, but for the time being, its plan is to build a conventional lineup of gasoline-powered cars alongside their electric counterparts. The EQE is considered to be the more affordable version of the E-Class sedan, in the same way the EQS is the electric equivalent to the S-Class flagship.
- We should expect to see a slightly curvier shape from the EQE car, as the shadowed teaser photos show a sloped roof and other rounded parts of the car. The short overhangs in the front and rear give the vehicle a more aerodynamic look than the traditional look were used to seeing. There’s also a thin light bar that crosses across the back of the car, and amidst narrow taillights that have a twirled shape.
- As previously mentioned, the fan-favorite of the EQS, the Hyperscreen is making its way to the EQE. One should know, however, that this screen is an option on the S-Class counterpart, so it’s highly plausible that the same will apply to the EQE.
