Mercedes-Benz to unveil five new EVs at 2021 IAA Munich Motor Show

Mercedes-Benz is set to further reveal its future EV plans at the IAA Mobility show in Munich this September.

The carmaker, alongside its sub-brands; Mercedes-EQ, Mercedes-AMG, Mercedes-Maybach and Smart, will be unveiling eight vehicles at the show – including five electric and one performance hybrid.

The main highlight will be the world premiere of the EQE – an electric counterpart to the existing E-Class, as well as the European debut of the EQB SUV, previously launched at Auto Shanghai in April.

A teaser shot of the EQE's interior shows a similar layout and overall aesthetic to the EQS – Mercedes-Benz's S-Class EV equivalent which made its public debut earlier this week – while its powertrain has been speculated to be similar to the underpinnings of the EQC SUV, producing 300kW and 760Nm from its dual-motor operation.

Joining the EQE and EQB will be a luxury saloon from Mercedes-AMG, the performance division's first battery-electric offering which promises to deliver the usual AMG experience of power and handling, just without an internal combustion engine.

Mercedes-Maybach is set to bring its first EV concept to the table, although details are limited on what platform will underpin the ultra-luxury vehicle.

As with the Maybach, no details have been provided regarding the hybrid performance car from AMG, but rumours suggest it could be a rival to the Porsche Panamera, packing AMG's 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 with some form of electrical assistance.
